Probably. Yeah.

1. I will be living in dorms, which spread disease like wildfire. And most of the people up at my school are anti-vaccine, so it will be even worse, because they will all have it.

2. I get the flu shot every year anyway, so it's not the first time I've been vaccinated against an influenza strain.

3. I have a weak immune system and when I get sick, I get sick.

4. Mom works in the city, so even if I didn't get it up at school, she could bring it home if I'm home on break (but she would probably be vaccinated, too, because she works in a medical office.)

5. If I was ever going to have an issue with a vaccine, I think it would have happened by now. But I've had tons, I'm getting the HPV one in a few weeks, and the only problem that I've ever had is getting Pertussis in 6th grade when I didn't get my full DPT because it gave me a fever as a baby. Permanent lung weakness. From the Pertussis that I got from NOT getting a vaccine.

Can I Get Mine Now?

I won't take it, no matter what.

And I've adviced everyone I know they shouldn't either- ...
but it's their choice at the end...

Most people in my city have totally freaked out and are more than willingly to get the shot of the "holly vaccine" -

Personally im not sure. I am going to get flu shots just so I can detect any sickness beyond the flu in my house but still not sure man. To me they just aint had enough time to make it.

But if forced vaccinations began to happen then most def. not.
FORCE ME/US AND MY DADDY WILL SEND YOU AN ASTROID AGAIN OR MAYBEY A GAMMA RAY BURST (WORMWOOD) LIKE MARS LOL THE TOP IS UNTHINKABLE no matter what you who hides from us thinks.

There went my whole oration -- off to the cornfield thanks to my cat walking on the keyboard. It's your lucky day Fred!

Thanks for asking the question; interesting to read everyone's perspective.

I won't be getting any influenza vaccines, and neither will my Bride. I really urge everyone to research this issue thoroughly -- don't listen to me or anyone else -- just research, list the pros and cons, make a decision that you think will result in the best wellness strategy for your family.

Be well!

aahh well I just dont think I need all that crap in me no thanks. as for forced vaccination I would call that the # hitting the fan.

Maybe after all those people get the shots they are in for a rude awakening, especially men. They probably won't be able to get it up with even a crane.

Mark my words, the vaccine will shoot Viagra sales through the roof. But even then, they will be shooting "blanks".

I can understand it for persons in high risk arenas.

On a personal level my feelings are...

Just say no to genetic puss!

F! that S!! im gonna take 3 of those things and then down a readbull afterwards!!!!

Um, no thanks... I have a very rare ability nowadays... it's called a fully functioning immune system.

I kinda feel for those that have had deaths in their families with this stuff, but you know, with a society that was brought up on anti-bacterial EVERYTHING, it's no flippin' wonder everyone gets sick at the first sign of anything.

I read several years ago about a local boy (about 10 or 12 years old seems like) that caught chicken pox... and DIED three days later. Can you believe it? I guarantee that Mommy and Daddy kept he house downright sterile and had all the anti-bacterial products that they could find in the house. Poor kid never had a chance with such a poor immune system.

Just my thoughts, and if for some reason it's suddenly "mandatory"? Well, add me to the list of rebels then. No way on this planet, short of injecting my dead body, with they give me ANYTHING like that on a "mandatory" basis.

No thanks. I won't be getting it.

There are a number of reasons why, one of which is that I'm too paranoid.

I have a very able and functional immunity system and am rarely ill at all.
But this kicked the crap out of me.
I'm half way though day 2 of my course of Tamiflu.
Already I feel a hell of a lot better.
Is it a natural thing or Tamiflu doing what it's supposed to do?
I don't know.
All I know is that I should be able to go back to running my pub tomorrow thus saving me paying wages above my budget.
And I will be able to see some people who are close to me who I haven't been able to for a few days.
And for them reasons alone I really don't give a toss what has helped me get shot of that horrible twat of a virus!!

Im in a unique position it seems. My job is such that I am in effect a first responder and worse, I will be confined in a chopter, aircraft, or ambulance with kids that are infected thus increasing my risk of exposure many times over compared to the general population.

Interesting replies so far. I expected a heavy anti-vaccine lean but not this dramatic
