I got H1N1 a few weeks ago, I was fine in a week. It's not that big of a deal.

Meh, there are other ways to vaccinate, but a weakened strain is what they went with for Influenza.

I wouldn't get it unless I worked in a Hospital or worked in a preschool or something.

jesus wtf is the big deal with h1n1. 40 000 people die from the flu, now its going to be 41,000. people are all their stupid "vaccines".

Like ktown said, unless you work in an area highly susceptible to it or like dano, I see no reason for the shot. MAN UP

^Exactly.

Hell, they almost shut down my work yesterday because a guy "Three blocks away had a suspected case of H1N1."

It's not the ****ing plague for Christs sake...

O'Reily mentioned it could be the new black plague a few months back.

I do know this, and have had the flu before, the shot (and in the years after) but the shot knocked me on my ass. I haven't been that sick since I was a young child, and I haven't been that sick since. It was the first and last time I had a flu shot.

I am not gonna get one anytime soon. My immune system is pretty good.

For many people: eating healthy, drinking enough water, and exercising regularly are enough to combat the yearly flu. Like I said above, if I worked in a hospital like my sister, or was a teacher for young kids I would get the flu vaccine every year. I do however keep updated on more crucial shots such as Tetanus, Hep C, etc.

But, those people should also wash their hands a couple times a day, not chew on pens(I'm horrible with this), and try and cut back on alcohol(this too).

:P

I can see a person with health issues maybe needing a shot. But for the average healthy person, I think things like this just make their natural immune systems dependent. This is the goal of the pharmaceutical companies which are controlled by the government. They want everyone to depend on drugs to survive for the rest of their lives.

I don't think pregnant women should get the H1N1 shot, yet I watched on the news this morning and they're lined up like sheep being lead off to slaughter. On one hand, it could cause serious issues to the unborn child if the mother gets the virus. But prenatal vitamins prevent that. On the other hand, the vaccine could cause other problems. There is mercury in the H1N1 vaccine. Mercury is linked to autism as well as other permanent "life long" illnesses.

Aren't conspiracy theories fun?
