H1N1 Shot

With all this talk about the Swine flu I'm wondering about the H1N1 shot. Are you getting the shot? I'm leaning towards no because of all the rush and stuff. It seems like no one really knows the long term side effects. It seems maybe I'll be safer just fighting off the flu

 

As soon as my work gets more I sure am. Or the nasal spray, which ever arives on site first.

 

I didn't. H1N1 is just the flu. Most people with the flu right now have it. The media got everyone paranoid. Unless you are in a risk category let someone have it that really needs it.

Myself, wife and 2 kids had it and we were confirmed h1n1. It lasted 2 weeks and we were all miserable but it's over and have natural immunity now.

 

hell no. without knowing long term, im not going to be a lab rat.
you hear people getting stomach problems from it. 20 preg ladies died from it.
no thanks.like rutherk1 said The media got everyone paranoid but i am not taking any chances

 

yeh im not gonna get the shot. the things ive heard after people getting it... no thanks... my brother and now my step dad have it... if i get it.. i get it and its over with... if i some how manage to avoid it... even better.

You should watch this.
After seeing this, I am not getting one...

 

yeah not getting it either. i know 3 people that had it, lasted 1.5 wks.

 

I think I'm going too....
she can run and walk backwards without an issue...

 

That girl who got the flu shot.... it was a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of that happening.

 

Dude I work at the hospital and they give these vaccines for free...I however decline them because IMO the shots only prevent about a quarter of the different kinds of Influenza anyway. If your gonna get it, your gonna get. Just exercise and take vitamins! Idon't beleive in injecting anything foreign into my body but that is just my 0.02

Edit: This "H1N1 vaccine" you have to sniff unless your over the age of 45 (I think) and the virus is STILL ALIVE Forget that shit!!

 

Well thats good its not just me refusing it. Everyone around here don't agree with me and say I'm crazy for not getting it

 

I agree with you guys but my wife is pregnant and the mortality rate is something like 17% in pregnant women who get H1N1. I have never gotten the flu shot before but did this time as I couldn't live with myself if something happened because I refused the shot. Oh yeah, and I'm the high risk group (healthcare provider)

 

I'm getting it... I'm in the high risk category...

 

x2.. i didnt get it the shot with a pregg wife and i work on an ambulance. it is called washing hands and using good hygiene..
my wife decliened the shots too.. .
she used to work as a PA at the hosital.. she doesnt believe in shots either.. esp... as fast as they got the h1n1 vaccine out.. remember what vaccines really are.. part of the strain of virus...

i got the flu couple weeks back and had 102 fever... for 5 days... guess what.. didnt give it to my wife.. go figure...

would rather get the virus and let my body do the work... but dont get me started on the PHARM. COMPANIES that just want to make money...

 

I had the H1N1 flu in August. For me it was a temperature of just about 103 for a week and then a dry cough. Also ached and tired but that was it. I am on immune suppressant drugs for a Rheumatoid Arthritis like genetic disease called MCTD. The H1N1 apparently effects the younger people much differently. I got the annual flu shot a few weeks back but now don't require the H1N1 shot.

 

I've never had a flu shot.... and I figure, as long as I'm healthy enough to fight it off naturally, why should I get one? There are people out there that need it more than I do.

 

Where did you hear of 20 preg ladies getting the shot and dieing from it?

 

what a fucking shame

i'll meet you guys in hell as well.i'll be at the lunch table with hitler and mj
