Which do you think is a greater risk: taking the fast-tracked H1N1 vaccine or not being vaccinated?

    No vaccine is truly safe for the first 5 years of its use, nor is any medicine.

    As for uneducated comments from low IQ regurgitators concerning politics, the Republicans destroyed the economy with 8 years of war and gluttony. Now that we finally have an intelligent, socially responsible adult in the presidency, we need to recognize GW Bush for the womanizing, drunk, pawn of the super rich that he is. As for Obama, if you really do want a better president, pray for the one you've got.

  • True Patriot - 15 years ago

    This vaccine is definitely part of a plan to rid the country of all the super intelligent people who listen to Rush Limbaugh,watch Fox News, and know that Sarah Pallin is the only answer for America.

    "Third, I cant help but wonder if this is a manufactured "crisis" to distract the public from the health care debate/vote or make a case for why a government run system is necessary, which is just flat out BS."

    This has nothing to do with your FEAR of Obama and everything to do with big pharma making $$$$$$

    You people really make Obama out to be Omnipotent. As for the government funded health option, don't take it if you don't want it, stick with your Kaiser or whoever you have and have insurance workers decide what treatment you can have paid by them and all those great pre-existing conditions that will deny coverage like, spousal abuse....

    So focused on Obama when they real problem with America these days are Big Business controlling the government.

    Did you know for every member in Congress there are 6 medical, hospital and pharmacological Lobbyists pounding them every day?

    Get over a black man being in the whitehouse and deal with the real issue, corporate greed.

    Here is Baxter's patent on this vaccine. Just look at all the yummy ingredients.

  • TB - 15 years ago

    Remember, the drug companies and health care workers have complete immunization if any negative side effects happens to you from this vaccine. You cannot sue anyone.

    And google Baxter's swine flu patent. They applied for this H1N1 patent a year ago. Also google who owns Baxter and Norvartis, the two companies that dominate this vaccination program. Norvartis actually filed for a H1N1 patent in 2005.

  • Sheila from CA - 15 years ago

    I was wondering when anyone would think to mention the 1918 flu epidemic. Also called the Spanish Flu. Yes it started in Spain but it came from American GI's that had been inoculated before going oversees to fight a war. At the time medicine was still in it's infancy and combining all the possibilities together of what the soldiers "might get", they invented the "shot" to cure all. In their hurry to give these soldiers their shots they rushed everything and the soldiers became the "rats/mice". They were given their "shots" before being transported on large crowded ships to Spain, where they were housed in crowded barracks and the Spanish flu spread and mutated. You won't find a lot of that in your history books...you have to research cause and effect. True, very true that we have Czars, in place to control us. Obama care is a fraud on the American people just the same as this Swine Flu epidemic. We should not be surprised at any of this...look what he did in the first months of his sham of a presidency. Didn't we already see a Stimulus Bill fly past us and get passed without a single Senator (or anyone else for that matter) reading it? This man (Obama) and everyone he has surrounded himself with are crafting evil into the American Government. True it wasn't great before but Obama has reached new heights. I AGREE that taking this shot would be the worst thing people have ever considered. I've read a couple of "Dr's" here who propose that the shot should be taken...but I've known several doctors that I wouldn't let treat my gerbil for toe fungus! I WILL NOT TAKE ANY SHOT, especially one that this government wants me to take!

  • Freeman - 15 years ago

    I am literally speechless at the amount of idiocy and fear being hype by the main stream press. I guess the people taking the vaccine will soon learn how safe it is.

    Why are people so gullible to trust our Government? It is truly sad that this America with blind sheep bleating the Government is here to save you. LOL

    Just keep following the herd sheep lined your children up for vaccine who cares if it untested who cares if your children get sick who cares if the only one benefitting are the big Pharma co who cares about truth facts and reality just line up and take your shot like a good slave. LOL

  • George - 15 years ago

    I can't believe more people are afraid of the vaccine than the virus. I don't think either is a tremendous reason to lose sleep but there are occasions where a new flu causes a real pandemic - see 1918. Maybe that was a world conspiracy man-made virus too! Anyway when you get a flu shot - its broken up protein pieces from a virus - it cannot cause the flu like Checkit insists. THere are rare occasions where a vaccine causes problems and even deaths but this would have been picked up in trials. There are other rare occasions where a new virus reaks havok on otherwise healthy young adults. Pick your tonic but at this point neither choice is poison.

  • Maurice - 15 years ago

    NO WAY JOSE.... This vaccine is not safe, and this flu has been so hoaxed up to be so dangerous. Yeah right. It contains a non approved adjuvent - squalene - which will show more gulf war syndrome victims - and NO one to go to.
    This flu is very hoaxed up... I recommend making sure your vitamine D levels are up - and your risks are way less.

  • Leslie - 15 years ago

    Todd from LA,

    You won't take the shot but will benefit from people who will? You're sick!

  • William Rhodes - 15 years ago

    On March 13 2008, the United States House Of Representatives held a secret meeting. The Representatives are sworn to secrecy by House Rules XVII, but some were so shocked, horrified, furious, and concerned about the future of America and what was revealed to them inside the secret meeting, that they leaked the information to independent news agencies.

    The story first appeared in a newspaper out of Brisbane, Australia revealing the contents of the secret U.S. meeting.

    Here is what was discussed:

    1) The imminent collapse of the U.S. Economy to occur sometime in late 2008. (Already happened, starting in Early October 2008)

    2) The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances sometime in mid 2009.

    3) The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse

    4) The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. Citizens” likely to move against the government

    5) The detention of those rounded up at The REX 84 Camps constructed throughout the United States

    6) The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapse

    7) The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest

    8) The necessary and unavoidable merger of The U.S. with Canada and Mexico establishing the North American Union

    9) The issuance of a new currency called the AMERO for all three nations

    According to David Walker, the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office, during the next 30 years, the government will have a shortfall of 53 TRILLION dollars, thanks mostly to retiring baby boomers. He says we will either have to double taxes immediately or immediately cut Social Security payments and Medicare payments in half. So, we are worth more dead than alive to the government.

  • Leslie - 15 years ago

    I want Chairman Zero, his family, and everyone on Capital Hill take it first.

    Our family will not be taking the vaccine.

  • Wes - 15 years ago

    Ok...where's all the 51%er's out there that said they would take this shot??? Why aren't they leaving comments on here showing just how much they love and trust their government? Is Diebold conducting this poll???????

  • drksky - 15 years ago

    I am literally speechless at the amount of idiocy and fear that has been injected into this thread. You folks keep telling people to wake up, but I think it's you who are asleep and being led around by the nose.

    This thread just makes me sad...

  • Bruce - 15 years ago

    I see only a tiny percentage of Kool aid drinkers that say yes just take the vaccine you can trust the Government. LOL Sure let looks at history shall we.

    1. 1976 swine flu killed 1 vaccine killed 125 wow only a gullible brainwashed kool aid drinking fool would take the vaccine.
    2. National Guard running ads for internment Guards? Conspricay theory LOL Stick you head in the sand a little deeper Obama cult followers.
    3. Read the book the Deliberate Dumbing down of America.
    4. Change who you listen too try www.militiaradio.com
    5. If you gullible cult Kool aid drinkers are getting the vaccine why are you worry about us that are refusing it? You are safe in your mind those of us with a backbone and freedom in our heart are not willing to take our chances.

  • JC - 15 years ago

    Baxter is the company that shipped the vaccine with live H1N1 in it that killed the ferrets it was tested on. Lots of countries are bringing suits against WHO and Baxter for shipping a bioweapon overseas. You can take a look at the case at "thebirdcase.com" Lots of good information on the site, well documented and good information about vaccines. You can download documents there. There have been injuctions filed in the state of Flordia and Washington based on the overseas suits. Be sure to look under documents for "flyers" click on #2 and check on a Federal Law on the flyer that explains what our rights are i.e., we have the right to ask for and get a copy of the insert that comes with any vaccine. I never knew that. There's certainly seems to be things going on with this vaccine. I agree something is wrong with the rush they have put on it.

  • Darren - 15 years ago

    No way would I take this vaccination or any other for that matter. The crap they put in there is to make you sick so they can make more money...they being Big Pharma. They don't make money if we aren't sick. Sick and twisted competley unethical/immoral.

    I just have to say that I am extremely happy that people in this country are FINALLY WAKING UP!

    This criminal government has pushed us one step too far after handing over trillions to the banks and now more domestic terrorism via the Swine Flu.

    And I might add all of this is happening just like filmmaker/ radio host Alex Jones predicted...

  • Joe Alexander - 15 years ago

    Best way to not get flu, or have it be very mild and no serious problem if you do, is live on the natural raw food diet that keeps your body cleaned out, free of toxins and waste build-up, with the best nourishment from fresh natural food not degraded and devitalized by cooking or other processing. This is the best way to prevent flu and all other disease, or minimize the severity of the disease if occasionally you do catch something. It works 1000 times better than vaccines, vaccines always do more harm than good.

  • Dr Hugo Hackenbush - 15 years ago

    My family will not be taking this vaccine or any other. All vaccines are toxic. There has NEVER been ANY clinical study posted in any peer reviewed medical journal that proves that vaccines have provided immunity from any disease!

    Vaccines contain RNA and DNA fragments from the host culture (Either chick eggs, monkey kidneys, aborted fetal tissue or cancer cells). All vaccines contain some or all of the following; Ongogenes (cancer genes), unknown virus' from the host, Avian Sarcoma Leukosis Virus (Avian cancer virus), Simian Virus-40 (Cancer virus found in monkeys), Formeldehyde, Mercury, Aluminum, Mono-Sodium Glutamate (MSG), Aspartame, Fluoride, Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 20, Tween 80, Trypsin, Sqaulene and many many other toxins. See link below for a comprehensive list.

    A few of my family members were required to get the shot because of their jobs and within 2 weeks they are ALL incredibly sick! They suspect that it's swine flu and are going to the doctor to get it confirmed.

    There is NO way I'm getting this death sentence!
    The swine flu was concocted in a lab and the vaccine contains LIVE H1N1 as well as many other deathly toxins!

    Please urge your loved ones to stay away from this shot!!!
    I would sooner quit my job than be forced to take this toxic "vaccine!"

  • jack - 15 years ago

    No way in hell I'm taking the vaccine. I recommend it if you want a lower IQ. I would not be surprised if 20 years down the road, folks who take the vaccine become sterile. Pregnant women and people of ages 0-24 are the primary target for the vaccination program. Or should I say the future adults.

  • Dean - 15 years ago

    As a vaccine-injured person, I can say from experience that vaccines are not the harmless substances we are led to believe they are. Vaccines can cause tremendous damage and this from vaccines that are not rushed through safety testing. I, too, think it is barbaric that babies are being used as Guinea Pigs for this shot. To go after pregnant women and children is a travesty.

    Medical health professionals have to believe in vaccines and cannot allow themselves to believe they could be hurting people. It is cognitive dissonance and the reason doctors will always say, "no way the shot caused those problems," even though the person was perfectly healthy before the shots and the problems occurred right after the shots. An infant could die just days after a series of shots and the medical personnel will deny any possible link to vaccination and just say it is "SIDS," or if the family is very poor they will blame the parents and call it "Shaken Baby Syndrome."

  • Kathy - 15 years ago

    Jail me, charge me 1000.00 a day, and I still wont take this vaccine!!! God help us!

  • Linda - 15 years ago

    There is no way I'm taking this shot. It has not been tested enough and they are pushing it through way to fast. I think it's just scare all of us and keep us in line. I tried so hard to tell people not to vote for Obama but no one would listen, they were all blinded. Well, I can say I do not vote for him and now tell all the people you got what you voted for. The USA is not the same, they are trying to control us. I voted RIGHT in the last election and I'm going to vote RIGHT in the next one and hope we get Obama and ALL of his people out of office. Look at his Cap & Trade bill and his Health Care, why he is trying to kill off the older people. All I have to say is WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!! Why Obama might just be the anti-christ I kept hearing people say he was--boy are we in trouble.

  • Bob - 15 years ago

    Here are a couple good reasons not to take the vaccine:

    1. It will contain squalene which is linked to gulf war syndrome and causes autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis.

    2. It will contain mercury which is a neurotoxin linked to alzheimers and other neurodegenerative diseases.

    3. The last swine flu vaccine killed and paralyzed dozens of people. A report leaked for governments to watch out for this to happen again (Guillian Barre syndrom). Do you want to be paralyzed?

    4. Its experimental and the vaccine makers have been granted blanket immunity for any adverse reactions. See above.

    5. Vaccines are routinely contaminated with mycoplasma and cancer causing viruses. Think SV40 contaminated polio vaccine.

    6. The same people pushing mass vaccination fund depopulation programs through the UN. Extending peoples lives and eliminating people are mutually exlusive.

    7. They've been caught putting sterilization hormones in vaccines that cause pregnant women to miscarrage as a depopulation measure. Source:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12346214

    8. The same people making the vaccine sent LIVE samples of bird flu mixed with human flu to be used for making vaccine.

    http://www.therightperspective.org/2009/03/06/bird-flu-accidentally-sent-as-vaccine/

    Anyone who trusts this or any vaccine is an utter fool!

  • mamabear - 15 years ago

    Kyle...I personally know about 7 people who currently have, or have had, swine flu in the past month. None of these people are anywhere close to dying. Granted they don't feel well for a few days, but they are on Facebook doing status updates...just waiting 'till they can return to work and school. Not nearly the horrible, scary scenario played out on the news. As many have said, unless you are immuno-supressed, you are likely in much more danger by taking a barely tested vaccine containing heavy metals and other toxins.

  • mamabear - 15 years ago

    Dr. D,
    Taking an "inactivated" virus approach...my foot. Why are they called "live-virus" vaccines then? Shedding of the virus occurs in the stool, etc. Claiming these are "dead" viruses is just lying, plain and simple. NO for me, NO for my children....and it's NOT because I'm a fearful crazy person. It's because I'm NOT.

  • Edward M Earl - 15 years ago

    No way will I take this vaccine, I have the feeling the government is using human beings for a test pattern. X amount of people lived after being injected and X amount died. Back to the drawning board.

  • Blade - 15 years ago

    Not takin any shot!! My right! For doctors and nurses on here that are advocating taking a non tested vaccine...think again...think squalene and thimerisol...and Ill try to avoid your hospital...it is probably one of the ones paying 35 bucks to get 6 month old human guinea pigs!! How disgusting! Isnt it also interesting as ANON pointed out how i read 60 or so no shot takers in the comments and 5 takers....more strange math....or a stacked poll..really dont care....good comments by the 60 or so....5 takers ....good luck...as that is exactly what you are depending on!! PS The emergency signed by Sebilius says they dont have to put labels on the vials....and no liablilities for any manufacturers....From a USAF fighter pilot...when I did testing I had the stick in my hand, NOT IN MY ARM!!!

  • Todd from Los Angeles,CA - 15 years ago

    While I have purchased shares in several companies that do or will manufacture H1N1 vaccine, I will not take the vaccine. The stock price increases have been excellent. First, H1N1 seems to be very clearly race related. Certain races (Hispanics) are impacted greatly by swine flu while others are not. I have not seen any evidence that my demographic group has any problems. Second, people with certain pre-existing medical conditions also seem to have negative outcomes. I do not have any of those pre-existing medical conditions. Third, in the UK the Swine flu shot has links to a killer nerve disease and concerns that the shots caused over 25 deaths.

  • Pablo - 15 years ago

    I would NOT let Obama-care shoot me up with anything, I already had enough. I don't even have a tattoo, what makes them think that I would hand over my veins to them. Would not be surprised if the "shot" is forced upon us.

  • Tom - 15 years ago

    This is Nazi eugenics plain and simple.This mass vaccination program will accomplish two things, make billions for the vaccine makers and kill off 1/3 of the planet for our global eugenicist controllers.
    Do your homework and follow the money.
    The Glaxo-Smith-Kline vaccine called Pandemerix contains 1 millions times more squalene than what was used in the anthrax shots given to the troops.
    Those anthrax shots are responsible for Gulf War Syndrome.
    Wake up folks!

  • hopeful_watcher - 15 years ago

    Kyle, my apologies. I assumed that you must of thought it deadly if you were confused as to why some here feel it doesn't warrant the risks. Would you get exploratory heart surgery if the doctor said you had high blood pressure? I don't think you would. You weigh the risks of action against what you are fighting.

  • Kyle - 15 years ago

    I never said how deadly I thought swine flu was. Please don't put words in my mouth hopeful_watcher.

  • anon - 15 years ago

    wtf all the posts say no and yet the sheeple say yes to vaccines
    is this a fix poll or what?

  • hopeful_watcher - 15 years ago

    Kyle, you have been suckered by the media into thinking the Swine Flu is a super deadly bug. The regular seasonal flu is deadlier by far and the Avian flu is deadliest of all. So no, I would rather not have the vaccine for Swine Flu, thank you very much, given the past risks associated with it.

    Kirin, also known as Jordo, blow it out your ass. You belong to the herd of idiots. I say I am "pro-choice" as to what gets forcibly put INTO my body, since all you libs say we can be pro-choice about what is forcibly removed.

  • Steve - 15 years ago

    I WILL NOT take the vaccine. I don't care if it's mandatory or not. This is my line in the sand. You WILL NOT inject me. Period. People talk about fighting for freedom, but they equate it with some army fighting over "there." Those people have no idea what freedom is. If your government can forceably inject you against your will, then YOU ARE NOT FREE. Stand up to this crap. Refuse the shot, even if it makes you a criminal. Freedom isn't free. You have to fight for it personally. The greatest threat to the freedom of America is this criminal government we've had for the last 30 years.

  • Kirin - 15 years ago

    Wow, you anti-vaxxers are all NUTS. You really thing Chavez is running this country? Or that this administration is less constitutionally aware than the last? Ya'll deserve to die of these illnesses you don't think its worth vaccinating against. I just wish you lived in a different country so you won't be ruining America's herd immunity. Seriously, go found your paranoid theocracy some where else and stop fucking it up for the rest of us.

  • Kyle - 15 years ago

    So let me get this straight. Taking the vaccine is a greater risk then possibly catching swine flu? What? What is wrong with you people? You would rather get sick then take something that will probably prevent you from getting sick? Am I the only one who is dumbfounded by the results of this poll?

  • hopeful_watcher - 15 years ago

    Jordo, you are resorting to insults. What "conspiracies" are you talking about? The 1976 vaccination of swine flu left people dead and others with neurological damage. Baxter shipped h1n1 vaccinations to 14 different countries with live Avian flu virus in it. I assume you have Google and know how to use it. Don't insult me by painting a broad brush stroke as everything is conspiracy theory when 5 minutes of your time would reveal otherwise. Now, who is the fool?

  • Monica - 15 years ago

    Children under 6 months of age are not able to take any flu vaccine. You owe it to your babies and patients (if you work with young children) to take the H1N1 shot as they are at the greatest risk of death. Also, pregnant women are at a very increased risk of death from the H1N1 disease - they should be the first in line!

  • Jordo - 15 years ago

    You antivaxxers are all fools. Do some actual research, dont just regurgitate the shit fed you by other antivaxxers. It must be sad to live in a world of fear. A world of your own making since you lack the intelligence to go out and fact check all these 'conspiracies' you seem to WANT to be out there.

    Open your eyes.

  • Vinnygunnz - 15 years ago

    As a registered nurse, I will definitely get the shot, though several of my coworkers have said they will not. We already had several swine flu cases in my hospital and have a severe shortage of respirator masks. Also, swine flu patients are not being properly identified and isolated because there are only so many negative air pressure rooms.

    I feel that if you are a health care worker, you have an obligation to the public to get vaccinated to prevent spreading it to your patients as well as stay on your feet in a crisis situation where we may need every available nurse to combat the surge in patients.

    And one final thought. I saw a patient in 24 hours go from walking around their room with seemingly mild flu symptoms progress to complete respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. If the swine flu spreads like they say it will, there will only be so many ventilators to go around. I don't want to potentially put myself or family members in a situation where they may need a ventilator and one is not available, or need antivirals but there are none to be had.

    For me the risk is great enough that I feel getting vaccinated is necessary since I will be around the swine flu regularly, but for the general public, it is less clear.

  • hopeful_watcher - 15 years ago

    Hey amazed, why don't you ask people stuck on roof tops in New Orleans after Katrina if the government can be trusted? Why don't you ask the elderly as the government uses social security as a slush fund if the government can be trusted? I will pray that you do not stick your head in the sand, for it will raise your bum high in the air for the government to violate you.

  • Amazed - 15 years ago

    Wow, what a bunch of weird scary comments. I stopped reading after 20-30comments or so. you guys are a soooooo crazy!. Scared of your government, scared of vaccines, scared of evil.

  • CC - 15 years ago

  • Jeana - 15 years ago

    I will not be getting this vaccine nor will my 4 children. H1N1 is very over blown and the vaccine is not tested enough. Eat healthy and wash your hands.

  • Pamela Long - 15 years ago

    No way will my family be receiving this vaccine! I sense something sinister and political behind this H1N1 hoopla. I always follow my instincts. Get in the Vaccine Kool-Aid Line if you choose, but I will refuse big government's inoculation.

  • Roman Terrell - 15 years ago

    I don't care what anyone says, I DON"T TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT. I wouldn't take that shot if they promised me I would shit gold afterward. OUR GOVERNMENT doesn't want the best for the american ppl, thats clear.
    Stay away from everything they want to give you, including shots for a so called virus.

  • TheFireman - 15 years ago

    I guess since I entered my email address, the government will know who I am and consider me a domestic terrorist for my resistance to taking the vaccination. Oh well!

  • anonymous - 15 years ago

    I, nor anyone in my family, will take this vaccine. First, I have never had the flu, nor the flu shot. neither have my kids. Second, 1976. Nuff said. Third, I cant help but wonder if this is a manufactured "crisis" to distract the public from the health care debate/vote or make a case for why a government run system is necessary, which is just flat out BS.

  • Barbara - 15 years ago

    I will not take this vaccine or give it to my children. I never get the flu vaccines and this one is scary since it is being pushed through so quickly. I think this is just a way for the pharmaceutical companies to make money.

    Also there are links of people coming down with GBS who have had the vaccine. Especially over in the UK

  • AD - 15 years ago

    As a doctor, I will definitely get the vaccine. While the H1N1 is not as virulent as the regular flu, the regular flu still kills 30,000 people per year in the US and has the effect of taking people out of work.

    There are certain populations who are recommended to get the regular flu vaccine (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm), and those populations should certainly get this vaccine.

  • hopeful_watcher - 15 years ago

    Who ever said I am worried about the vaccine giving me the disease its supposed to protect against? I have not!!! I realize how vaccines are made with dead viral cells to boost the immunity... I am not stupid. Its the side affects from all of the other crappy ingredients they put in there. That being said, Baxter did ship H1N1 vaccine to 14 countries and it was "accidentally" tainted with LIVE avian flu virus. Ooopsies! Good thing they tested it on a batch of ferrets (all died) before injecting humans. Well not so good for the ferrets. So before you go off on how "safe" vaccines are, do your homework. People make mistakes. People have agendas. The outcome may not be in your best interest. It is not fear mongering. It is common sense and your refusal to acknowledge it is naivety at its worst.

  • Becca - 15 years ago

    There is no way myself or my family will be getting a vaccine for a man made illness that hasn't proven to be nearly as harmful as they would like us to think. How quickly people forget. This flu isn't a natural occurring flu, it is bird flu, swine flu and 2 strains of human flu spliced together and if you look hard enough you will find out not only is it man made but was released by "accident" by an American company. Now that same company is going to provide the vaccine, barely tested and we are are supposed to line up for it? I don't think so, not me and mine.

    Heather you must be young or miss informed.just for starters google up CHEMTRAILS and when you go out side start looking up.And you will soon begain to deminish in your own IGNORANCE.CHEMTRAILS COULD NOT be there without our goverments approval.NO none of my family intend to partake in this Goverment Scheme.I know of many people in years past who took a fluuu shot, caught the fluuuu and was told,they took it toooo late.It is all ways toooo LATE after it is taken,except for people who have to be told what is best for them. H1N1VACINE+IGNORANCE=BIG MONEY for a few and sickness and death for many.Just watch for the after FACTS,PRAY AMERIKA.And that was not a spelling error.

  • Kat - 15 years ago

    I am so glad to see people questioning the vaccine instead of blindly trusting in it. Rather than getting injected with this chemical cocktail, just getting some sun and increasing your Vitamin D can decrease your chances of being seriously affected by the swine flu.

  • Bud - 15 years ago

    I am weighing this. My physician said that the H1N1 itself is not the real worry, it's the potential realted to the bird flu. The Swine flu is easily spread but not very fatal, as many have written here. The Bird Flu, is the opposite, not easily spread but extremely fatal. The fear is that the two will somehow mutate (not sure of actual term) and we get the worst of both, an easily spread, very dangerous virus. If swine flu is contained now, it greatly reduces that chance.

  • Dr.D - 15 years ago

    Listen, when making a vaccine they will use the"inactivate" approach. Using this strategy, viruses are completely inactivated (or killed) with a chemical. By killing the virus, it cannot possibly reproduce itself or cause disease. The inactivated polio, hepatitis A, INFLUENZA, and rabies vaccines are made this way. Because the virus is still "seen" by the body, cells of the immune system that protect against disease are generated.

    The strength of this approach is that the vaccine cannot possibly cause even a mild form of the disease that it prevents and can be given to people with weakened immune systems. The limitation of this approach is that several doses must be given to achieve immunity.

  • Nick - 15 years ago

    I will NOT be taking this vaccine. When your own doctors say absolutely not, that's a sign... I'm pregnant and would NEVER risk my babies life for a vaccine that has harmful ingredients and is not tested long term.... No thanks! I'll stay at home if I have to!

  • David - 15 years ago

    Don't forget to ask about the mercury. Supposedly they are to produce a vaccine without it, but I would read the label carefully yourself.

  • Rita - 15 years ago

    This is just like every thing else that has to do with the current administration. "Rush" everything, so the people don't have time to balk at what's being forced on them. Believe me, it's working too.....there are still so many people of this country that are looking through rose colored glasses at this administration. For myself, and my family...we won't be taking anything that comes out of this administration. I believe these few that intend to destroy America as we know it, are behind the whole thing. And, what better way to eliminate a great majority of the population.

  • Heather - 15 years ago

    Your ignorance is terrifying. All flu vaccines (including H1N1) use a killed virus which may induce mild symptoms, but will not lead to active infections. Get yourselves educated and stop the fear mongering over vaccinations.

  • Jenni M. - 15 years ago

    They have almost created a hysteria over the H1N1 issue. They keep giving stats on the number of deaths from it, but they push aside the fact that thousands in this country die every year from the regular flu. And the media just fuels the hysteria.

  • Mike - 15 years ago

    Great way to save the world from global warming perhaps? Somehow I don't think the UN would care to much if it wacked half the population.

    This vaccine is the poster child for not having a single payer health care system!

  • Brad Tailor - 15 years ago

    Well put Jeff R. Take your vitamin D, get some sun, and wash your hands and carry a pocket sized hand wash gel, that needs no rinse or water. Make sure its alcohol based ! I think Obama and his jackA$$ admin. should be the first to get vaccinated.

  • Donna - 15 years ago

    This vaccine has killed those that aren't completely healthy. It started in Poland where they tested it on homeless people, who DIED. The ingredients, such as Benzonase, is part of the bigger plan to population control, as it is a fact it sterilizes their test mice.

    If this thing goes mandatory we as citizens lose our rights because it becomes something akin to martial law. THIS is what the govt wants... so they can further destroy America. There are thousands of caskets for mass burials outside of Atlanta and a couple of other places. There was a recent meeting of global leaders and people 'working' with the flu sand the first topic was MASS FATALITIES! The National Guard is recruiting people to operate internment camps!!!! Those camps aren't for the sick (for over-flowing hospitals)!!! They are for those of us not willing to kill ourselves with this shot!!!! At one time, the govt denied these camps and now they are telling us they are building MORE!! The hysteria over this flu is a cover for something more sinister.

    To those who take vaccines without thoroughly checking into what they are injecting into you or learn why they inject vs let you ingest them... more power to you. I for one am not into drinking antifreeze (YES, an ingredient in 99% of all vaccines) why would I want it injected into my body or worse, my child's body??? I say study this BEFORE you inject it!!!!!

  • smedley - 15 years ago

    Just another thing the govt. and the media are blowing way out of proportion. I live in a big city and I have not even heard of anyone I know that has contracted this. Sounds like another bogus claim by govt and the big pharm companies to make money. How about concentrating on making decent jobs for people .

  • hopeful_watcher - 15 years ago

    I will not, nor will my family take the vaccine. They will just have to quarantine me!!! This drug will be fast tracked using retinal tissue from an aborted baby www(dot)crucell(dot)com The first time they tried to vaccinate for swine flu in the 70's, it killed more people the the flu did and left people with neurological damage. www(dot)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7oL7wdQqKQ(dot)com
    Luke 21:23
    How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! Because there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

  • Heather - 15 years ago

    I will not be taking the vaccine. I don't do the flu shot & some others. My children get some of the basic vaccines. When my daughter was younger & had horrible asthma & had kidney problems, she got the shot, but it's not needed now. No way.

  • Brian Mehnert - 15 years ago

    Most vaccines are entirely unnecessary and this one is dangerous. H1N1 has proved to be no more dangerous than the regular flu (which kills 25,000 per year) and a percentage of people who have taken the vaccine HAVE DIED due to reactions.

    AMAZING that some Democrats have already proposed criminalizing the refusal to take the vaccine (Sebelius)... welcome to socialized healthcare and the socialist regime.

  • sherry cano - 15 years ago

    SOMETHING EVIL THIS WAY COMES AMERICA,IF YOU ARE A TRUE PATRIOT AND AMERICAN...YOU NEED TO PRAY FOR THIS NATION WHATEVER YOUR HIGHER POWER MAY BE. YES I AGREE THAT A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION WOULD AND SHOULD BE THE WAY......BUT I POSE A QUESTION TOO ALL OF YOU. "WOULD YOU DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY TO KEEP IT FREE? ON FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC SOIL? EVERYBODY THINKS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE ALL THE BAD GUYS OUT OF OFFICE...REALLY DO YOU THINK WE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO VOTE COME NOV 2010? I WILL NOT STAND HERE AND JUST LET THIS HAPPEN, NOT TO MY COUNTRY! GOOD NIGHT AND MAY GOD BLESS EVERYONE.

  • Marilyn - 15 years ago

    I absolutely agree with JM. I too, am a health care worker and I nor any member of my family will be getting the vaccine. I haven't spoken to a Dr or nurse yet that is willing to get it. That should speak volumes!

  • Carolyn - 15 years ago

    The last time they rushed a vaccine for the flu more people died from the vaccine than died from the flu and they recalled the vaccine. I'm not going to eat out because there are too many restaurant workers who don't wash their hands. If it gets really bad I will wear a mask to shop for groceries. I already have Tamiflu ready if needed. If I had children I would not send them to school because it's not worth the risk.

  • Jim Harmon - 15 years ago

    In my life I've only had a bad reaction to one vaccine. The Swine Flu shot that President Gerald Ford ordered all military to take in 1977. I thought I was going to die. Many young and old did. I was 23 years old. I'm not taking any injections related to swine flu or any other flu.

  • Michelle - 15 years ago

    I have no intention of getting the vaccine or allowing my family members to get it. Although my only son is leaving for his duty station tomorrow, they will probably force him to have it. Please pray for him and all our military who have no choice.

    Something evil is coming America. Can you feel it too?

  • Jeff R - 15 years ago

    Man, aside from the fact that this thing is rushed out and not tested enough, most of the other comments should make people realize that our country is wrought with fear about our government. It is time a for a peaceful revolt to reconstitute our government into the framework that our founding fathers created. It worked.

    Take your Vitamin D, get out in the sun, and wash your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Katie W - 15 years ago

    Obama is trying to scare people to get the vaccine ... they are preparing caskets all over country...thousands of caskets! check it out! its happening 20 minutes from my house because they know the vaccine will kill people..they are going to FORCE of to take vaccine..DONT do it...WHY are the preparing thousands of caskets????

  • Sally Knickerbocker - 15 years ago

    This could be this administration's way of testing a system to eliminate
    the people that don't agree with them. Create a crisis and single out the people that are most "at risk." Shouldn't be too hard to find out, since
    people will be rioting in the streets after talk radio and Fox News are shut
    down. It will be mandatory under our "public option healthcare" to get
    your vacine and this is the way the government plans to save all kinds of
    money with this system. And don't forget, there will be that "death" tax so
    it's a win, win situation! Who knows.....

  • Rover - 15 years ago

    I have no intention of taking the vaccine or allowing my children to take it either. Do your research, it's frightening what you will find out.

  • NoSocialist - 15 years ago

    As long as this thug is in the white house I will not be taking any vaccines. I do not trust this mass of zombies to do anything good or right. If the thug has anything to do with socialized medicine I want no part of it.

  • Faye - 15 years ago

    If this bunch of traitors would just give Americans the free health care, etc. that they give to illegal immigrants, there would be absolutely no need of all this mess they're trying to push at us now. Some of this isn't even what we want, just shoved down our throats and fair complaints are ignored or shouted down.

  • Janice Miller - 15 years ago

    I can't believe that we have a President who is not working for the best interest of our country and pals up with Hugo Chavez and all the other thugs that are now running our country and ruining it. Can't we impreach them all, and what's with having 3 dozen Czars running our government. The govenment should be paying back a lot of the taxes we have already given them, like $100,000 for each family so we can pay off our debts and then go out and spend and create jobs for everyone. I hope in the next election we vote in some sane people.

  • Todd - 15 years ago

    I think this whole thing is a hoax. I think they ought to investigate the company "Tami Flu". It makes perfect sense to release the flu in Mexico so that it can be spread world wide and be called a pandemic. As a result "Tami Flu" makes Billions of dollars.

  • amanda - 15 years ago

    what about the so called "mistake" Baxter made when all those tainted vaccines were sent out to many countries and would have killed millions-why aren't we hearing about that?

  • sherry cano - 15 years ago

    This all reminds me of 1976, ooooooh 1 person died from that so called pandemic....125 people died from the vaccine. With this current admin. This is just their next "CRISIS" to divert our attention from whats really happening in our country. You would have to be really stupid if you fall for this crap. I think the takeover of our country by communist dream team is a much bigger threat. How do we immunize ourselves from them? He said "judge me by the company I keep" REALLY! THUGS

  • checkit - 15 years ago

    WILL NOT TAKE THE SHOT. 1) Everytime I have ever taken a FLU shot I have gotten severely sick, (the Flu) 2.) This flu shot has already been linked to nerve damage according to one article. 3) If anyone missed the 1976 20/20 interview you will see how they intentionally give you bad flu shots. 4) THE MOST IMPORTANT Question I have is, If this people get the flu shot WON'T THEY BE THE ONES THAT SPREAD IT! 5) Why does the FLU all of a sudden appear during Flu shot season or Fall? Is it lack of Vitamin D or a Planned Flu. 6) There is strong evidence that shows this is a man made virus. 7) There is to MUCH HIPE about a H1N1 Flu on all the NEWS there something wrong, This is in my opinion a Global health care hoax or planned virus. TO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS H1N1, and TO MANY BAD SIGNS OF CORRUPTION. Besides that I never take flu shots as THEY MAKE ME GET THE FLU! and what proof is there that these people are NOT the ones that Spread it?

  • Ann - 15 years ago

    There is no way anyone in our family is taking this untested vaccine. They say it has gone through trials and is safe. I don't believe 5 week trials on only healthy people is enough to determine it's safe. What scares me is they are willing to inject it into pregnant women and young babies without knowing for a fact that it won't cause harm on down the road.
    In normal vaccine trials only perfectly healthy people/children are aloud to participate. How then do they know if it is safe for those that have neuro disorders and other problems?
    The rush for this vaccine is scary. Please research for yourself before you decide on this vaccine or any others!! Don't trust someone else with your health.

  • cindy - 15 years ago

    in memory of my buddy alexis from american idol, "take it, take it, take it" my god just think of all the shots you and your children have got so far and hopefully done well.

  • Denise - 15 years ago

    There is no way I would take the vaccine. Neither will my children. I had read an article that says what they use in the vaccine is in the same vaccine that was given to the soldiers of the first Gulf War. Look what it did to them. If the health care community isn't willing to take it, you know somethings up.

  • Jill White - 15 years ago

    Just like WMD in Iraq, Bird Flu and the "War on Drugs" the government requires a steady stream of scare factors to keep an obliging public in line.

  • jm - 15 years ago

    I am a health care worker and former FDA official. I will not take the vaccine, nor recommend it to anyone who is healthy. If you are unhealthy or immuno-compromised then taking the vaccine is worth the risk.

    The adverse effects of the H1N1 pandemic in the US have been exaggerated. All seasonal viruses kill people unhealthy people. The H1N1 virus is not much different. The biggest difference is that it affects young people.

    Furthermore, the vaccine has been rushed through the approval process. Safety and effectiveness data is based on a limited number of people. Its affects on a large diverse population is a statistical guess.

    Thank you to all who want the vaccine now. You are the test subjects who will confirm safety and effectiveness for those of us who choose to wait.

  • Jason Denniston - 15 years ago

    Well, if Health Care workers aren't taking the vaccine...I'm sure not going to.
