Are you going to get the flu shot (H1N1)?

[Quagmire]

I don't think I am. Every time in the past few years that I started to get the garden variety flu I just stopped eating and lived on oranges, lemons, orange juice, and vitamin C for however long and it usually kicked it right out in like 3 days.

Also found out that at my age I'm not in a high risk group, so I'll probably chance it.

How about you?

 

[Gentoo]

No, I don't usually get sick (knock on wood) and I'm in my mid-20's, there are other people out there who need it more than I do.

 

[rageoftyrael]

Nope.

 

[Madhuri]

I've never had a flu shot and don't lead the kind of hectic work life that requires I never get sick. Luckily I'm not prone to heavy illness...as yet.
I know middle aged people who have never even had a flu until they eventually got a flu shot. Now they get them every year. I don't trust immunisation.

 

[whereismynotecard]

No sir. I have a suspicion I may have already had that flu. Last year, about a month before school ended, I was really sick and had a really sore throat with lots of coughing to the extent that I couldn't even talk for an entire day, and could barely talk for a few more days... I don't know what sickness it was, because I never go to the doctor's office, but I think it may have been the "H1N1" thingy everyone is so worried about.

No way, I'm not going to get the vaccine. The vaccine is untested and unreliable at best, and a depopulation conspiracy at worst. Keep in mind that this vaccine was rushed to completion and hasn't been tested to whatever the normal WHO standards are (if it's been tested at all), and now the government is rushing it onto the people. One state even has mandatory vaccination laws already (I had a thread on this a while back, didn't get much attention, search through a few pages in the North American Politics section if you want to see it).

Oh, and keep in mind that some big depopulation conspiracy (Agenda 21 / Codex Alimentarius) is supposed to happen at the end of December this year. H1N1 might play a role.

I had the "regular" flu shot because it was required (I work in health care). Don't think I'll get H1N1, though. There are really restricting it to people in the risk groups here, and turning everyone else away. Since I'm not involved in direct patient care, I'm not to concerned.

Um Im tempted ..

But I have already cared for (in a domestic way) 3 people with swine.And I didnt cathch it.

I washed my hands and did NOT kiss them.

Im high risk have had pnemonia .

Not getting the shot.

Love

One thing to keep in mind that while the normal flu shot is usually a dead vaccine being injected into you, the swineflu shot is a weakened vaccine being shot up your nose. That doesn't even sound pleasant. Don't take my word for it. Ask your doctor if this is true. So, I guess you can count me as a big "no!"

Had my shot didn't hurt a bit. Your all a bunch of larte drinking cynics.

You're the guinea pig. When the shot gives you some horrible tumor, we'll all know not to get it.

It's been well tested. The seed strain was grown and purified in the exact same way as seasonal flu shots and rapid clinical trials over the last 6 weeks and have shown the same benign effects. No population culling here at all.

As well they should. Healthcare workers should be required to take the vaccine. You might want to link to something other than your avatar's namesake if you want to be taken seriously.

The nasal spray vaccine contains live but a highly diluted strain; the injectable vaccine is made with dead H1N1 virus.I'm getting the injectable one next week. Getting a mist squirted up your nostril is not particularly traumatic. You've never used cold or sinus medicine before? My two year old is getting the shot brave man that he is.

 

[whereismynotecard]

My cold and sinus medicine is in the form of pills. Advil. It's good, but I don't take it anymore unless I'm really sick, because it really makes me feel stoned. A lot more than it used to.

Yeah, I have prescription stuff in pill form and spray. The stuff knocks me out.

I had my flu shot already and I'm not likely to get a shot for H1N1

Yep, Kennedy has swallowed the anti-thimerosal Kool-Aid. He's an antivaccinationist crank. Thimerasol is a preservative that does contain minute traces of mercury. But there is absolutely zero scientific evidence linking thimerosal with autism or any other health risk. The traces of thimerosal are so diluted, so minute a single dose of it contains a fraction of the mercury found in 1 oz of tuna. It's harmless. So cut out 1 oz. of tuna from your diet a year and any possible health risk is obliviated.

The thimerosal hysteria is unwarranted.

You seem pretty confident in your stance concerning mercury. Where did you get your info and why do you believe it is more valid than the counter argument?
