Well at least we are on the ball. I had to get my son the Vaccine since he has a form of Immune Dificiency which makes him ridiculously susceptible to the complications.

Honestly, if you are weak enough that you think you are going to die from a flu, then maybe you should take this vaccine. OR you can be a sensible person, take the flu like a man and your body will immunize itself without stupid mass vaccinations. I guess not all of us are raised to be tough and independent though.

See, I don't need to worry about any rationale about being weak offered up by 'some guy on the net'. I have two doctors I see regularly. I trust them with my life...and that of my loved ones. Both recommend the vaccine, so we got it.
That's why I have good doctors...so they can offer me informed advice and I don't have to consult 'some guy on the net'.
Seems like a no-brainer to me.
TORONTO - There have been 24 confirmed cases of a type of severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis in Canadians who have received an H1N1 flu shot, including one person who died after getting vaccinated, the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada said Wednesday.

I am just saying that this flu is just a flu, and it will only make you weaker if you need to depend on vaccines to get through. There's a reason why you have an immune system, and when you start getting vaccinated then you better not stop getting them for your whole life because your body will become dependent.

Well, I know that pesky smallpox keeps on hitting me every season...
That would be another failed vaccine, right? It's because we got those shots that you don't have to.
S Korea reports first suspected A/H1N1 reinfection case

SEOUL, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- South Korea on Thursday reported a suspected reinfection case related to the A/H1N1 flu, the first in the country.
According to the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs, a two-year-old girl, who has recovered from the new contagious disease in September, was again tested positive for the virus this month.
It is the first such case reported in the country, which also is rare in the world.
Health officials said the baby was admitted to a hospital in the southeastern city of Gimhae in September due to high fever, and was confirmed to be infected with the virus by Green Cross Reference Laboratory that tests samples provided by local clinics and hospitals. The baby later recovered after receiving antiviral treatment.
However, the baby was sent to hospital again on Nov. 20 as she had a temperature reaching 39.1 C and showed respiratory-related symptoms, and later was tested positive for the A/H1N1 strain, the officials said.
Samples taken from the baby will be sent to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to check its genetic sequence to find out whether it is a mutated strain of the new flu, the officials added.
Generally, a person that has recovered from the new flu will produce antibodies and develop immunity to the virus.
Officials cited the possibility that the baby did not infect the virus in September and just was misdiagnosed as no re-checking of the first sample was made. But they also said the baby might contract a mutated virus, or the baby has not develop related immunity as she is too young to have a perfect immune system.

C'mon dude, we Canadians gotta stick together on here. I'm not trying to be ignorant, just pointing out that this is just a flu that would be best taken care of head on.

My doctors tell me that the way to do it is to get the shot, so I did. I'll show my Canadian solidarity by advising you to as well...but hey...I'm just some guy on the net...

Of course they're loons, in the grand scheme of things, they get people killed, that's not cool. Herd immunity, not having small pox or worrying about polio, that's cool.
I'll make one concession, if you're not getting the H1N1 shot because you feel it's been somewhat rushed to market, that's understandable.
But if you're not getting it because you believe it's going to make you retarded, give you cancer, sterilize you or anything like that, you're a loon, sorry.

This is obviously your opinion because if you had spent any decent number of hours actually studying vaccinations in general, not just h1n1, you would learn that the effectiveness of vaccines is a joke.
Did you know the only recorded cases of someone contracting small poxx twice happend to be with people who were vaccinated.
Did you know that the Amish and doctors(and their families) are the most un-vaccinated segment of north american society. They both also show the lowest rates of contraction during epidemics.
Every major epidemic that has been been kept on record has shown a decrease in cases before the vaccines were even administered. In other words the "herd" developed immunity before they gave the vaccine.
Personally I think you are the loon for just accepting the gov's word that its necessary. Also, we who will not have this junk pumped into our blood are not affraid of becoming brain damaged, we are afraid of having brain damaged children.

i trust my doctor 100%. I just dont trust all this fantastic information he's been given about the vaccine. thats why i do not plan to get vaccinated and im encouraging other people to think very carefully before they do. im not trying to tell people not to get it...just to really weigh the pros and cons of being vaccinated and to do their own research prior to being jabbed.
