It was nothing, really. Me and my parents went down to the community center, and stood in line for about... I don't know, two minutes. Some guy tried to tell us that I couldn't get mine, but my parents were fine. But we straightened him out, and I got it. Stood around at the registration thing for about eight minutes, while my dad filled out the paperwork. I just stood there, listening to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Then we moved over to the nurse's table, and for some reason, she got it in mind that I was a little slow, I think. She was treating me like Kramer from that Seinfeld episode with Jimmy. I got the shot, and it didn't hurt at all. But there was an... unpleasant pressure in my shoulder area. It wasn't that bad. After that, my dad and I rejoined with my mom, at a different table. I told her about how the nurse treated me like I was slow, she laughed, and we went into the "fifteen minute waiting area" to make sure we didn't faint, or something. I just listened to a few Metallica songs, and we left.

It hasn't made me feel any different, my mind isn't being controlled by the government, and I haven't been turned into a chicken-man-super-soldier, despite the idea I got from Bones. And I'm fairly sure I don't have FOXDIE in me. So that's a relief, not dying, and everything. Although, it would have been cool to meet Snake.

Anybody else get the shot? I don't understand the conspiracy theories, really. I commented on the way home, actually. I said, "I'm listening to a good song for today. A Rite of Passage. About freemasonry, and illuminati, and that crap. If I start growing laser-guns on my arms, and x-ray vision, I'll believe there might be something up with the shot. Then, I'll walk around being awesome, with a freakin' laser gun."

I'm really not planning to get it. In my area there is a "shortage" of the vaccine, so they're only treating high-risk folks. Such as young kids and pregnant ladies. So even if I wanted to get it, I'd have to wait.

If you had done any research on the Swine Flu besides what the latest online journalist gets paid to say, you'd realize that you just wasted your time and that it's useless since anyone that isn't dying of aids, old and brittle or a young baby will actually die of it.

Don't plan on getting, won't even think of getting it.I work around a lot of people. Heck, I was working in a school where they were using the school as a temp vaccination clinic for the kids and parents. Some in that school had it, and some of my co-workers had it and that was 3 weeks ago. I want to see numbers and not satistics of what the death rate will be. You got the shot fairly easy, and good for you. For the rest of us who can tough it out unlike those who's immune system is not as strong enough or they never got a flu shot in their life, then maybe.

While that's true, at least he won't be a risk spreading the disease to an old person or young baby. So it wasn't a complete waste of time. Oh and I'm not getting the vaccine, I can't be bothered.

Actually, it's not true. Here in Ontario, there have been two guys around my age who died from swine flu without any prior medical conditions. I am a little worried, because that pressure I had hasn't gone away, and has gotten worse. Maybe I'm growing muscles, and turning into Superman? And needled24-7: Most of S&M, Cure, Bleeding Me, The Outlaw Torn, Poor Twisted Me, Creeping Death, Blackened, Jump in the Fire, Sabbra Cadabra, Die Die my Darling, Am I Evil, and Fade to Black by Metallica. About to Crash, The War Inside my Head, The Test That Stumped Them All, Octavarium, Forsaken, Constant Motion, The Dark Eternal Night, A Nightmare to Remember (yaaaay sig), and A Rite Of Passage by Dream Theater. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, A National Acrobat, Sabbra Cadabra, Never Say Die, The Mob Rules, and Am I Going Insane by Black Sabbath. Also Black Illusion and Gets me Through by Ozzy Osbourne, Am I Evil by Diamond Head, Electric Eye and Hell Patrol by Judas Priest, The Fringe Equation, and the orchestral version of One Winged Angel. That's right. A complete list of what I listened to today. Then I got home and watched a bunch of Psych and Monk, followed by two Dexter episodes. I have no life, I don't even know why I got the shot. I don't go anywhere :P

Then I'm wondering. Why is perfectly HEALTHY people such as teenagers have gotten it and died? Why take the RISK and not get the shot? Stop being so ignorant to the fact that it DOES kill people, and healthy people at that.

Hockey players get priority here, and there isn't enough vaccine for everyone. Most people don't need it, anyway. So I won't be getting it.

Even with the NORMAL flu shot you get the same sypmton. You will get tense in the muscles and feel like someone gave you a great punch on that arm for awhile. after the first day it gets worse. Then it slows goes away.... Nothing to worry about, I assure you. I got mine Monday (:

No and won't be getting it. I doubt you'll actually find many people who believe that the Illuminati are distributing vaccines, but I don't see the need in getting vaccinated just to avoid the possibility of getting sick for a few days. Also, they've already made mistakes in predicting how much they would need and how fast the virus actually grows. Why would I trust them to squirt something in my body when they don't even fully know how it works?

I'm not saying that doesn't either. But you certainly hear more about the H1N1 victims, but there are probably some flu cases in the same respect. Which is why it is overated, the media has blown it out of apportion... But it still needs to be acknowledged

No, its knowing that it does kill healthy people. What people here seem to think that it CAN'T kill anybody except the pregnant, elderly, newborn and immune weakened people. It has and still can kill. Why not get the vaccine if its available? I understand if you don't have coverage but if you can get it, why not?

Ehhh, not really. He'd be better off geting the regular flu shot, unless the swine shot also does that too. Influenza kills 36k a year. Swine has killed how many? Exactly.

Man, I've had the normal flu, and I actually enjoyed it. Besides the throwing up, my whole body went numb for a while, and they I had kind of a warm, fuzzy sensation for the rest of the time. It was actually quite... soothing. It's like someone said, "oh, don't worry. You'll be throwing up and hacking for the next few days, but you'll sure as hell feel good."

Sorry but I have to call you out on this one. So you did scientific research on the effects of the swine flu vaccine? Please explain your research methods and how you came to the scientific conclusion that the vaccine is safe. I'm not saying it is or isn't safe, but being in charge of nurses giving injections hardly seems to be scientific research.

Secondly... wow some of you are really paranoid. I'm surprised you ever go outside. Yes, some healthy people have died from the swine flu. Stop watching the news channels and realize that it doesn't mean your life is in danger. More healthy people die from driving every day. More healthy people die from being murdered every day. You have a 99+% chance of surviving the swine flu if you get it. That's probably on par with your survival rate of leaving your house every day. Driving is riskier than the swine flu. Why get a vaccine for something as benign as the swine flu? The only risk of the swine flu is that it will mutate into something more deadly, in which case your vaccine will be useless anyway. If you're worried about infecting other people, just be smart and stay home and rest if you do get the flu.
