H1N1 Vacine
Should we get vaccinated?
Is it safe? Any fears about it being rushed?
Do we need to convince the masses that it is safe?

Has this vaccine been tested thoroughly by the FDA? Or are all the guinea pigs?
I don't see any evidence where it has been tested properly.
Another big concern I have is that this flu could present another golden opportunity for BO to manufacture a national crisis. For example, anyone who now comes down with a case of flu could automatically be statistically tagged with having HN1, apart from the required test to actually verify the claim. Inflated numbers would create fear and panic in the public, etc.

My wife works in a hospital. She told me that the vaccine contains mercury. I don't think that I would recommend getting it unless you are in a high-risk category. I know that some workplaces are mandating vaccination. I see some lawsuits coming.

No vaccine for me, I don't trust that they know what they're doing. I'll take my chances with the flu.

We were promised 127 million doses would be here by now, but we only have around 12 million. What went wrong? Typical government screw up trying to run a health care program on a small scale (  )or something else that we have not been told?
I am very leery.

H1N1
If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck it must be a ....
Can you say "HOAX"
Strange how this situation arises during the "health care" debate !!
Saturday the H1N1 "epidemic" was declared a "National Emergency" by BHO, which gives the gov't (BO) 400+ additional powers.
If there is a true emergency in this country, why are things continuing as normal? Schools are open, no public events have been cancelled although there is a severe shortage of the "vaccine".
BO's daughters have not been vaccinated !!! What !!

THIOMERISOL is not Mecury per se and has been around for years and years. ANYTIME you get a local anesthetics (Lidocaine for example) you have taken thiomerisol.

my dr. told me that people are overreacting and that the h1n1 is really much less severe than the actual normal flu that you get a shot for.

Also, anyone around before the big flu epidemics of the mid 50's has residual immunity from a similar strain.

That makes two us. Hey, if you need a place to hide out, come down to Florida. I know the swamps like the back of my hand, plus I'm on good terms with the 'gators.

If you are over 50 and don't work with kids or don't work in the health industry, you can pass for now. otherwise get it. It has hit hard in the western Nebraska with several schools closed. 2 children have died. I have not heard of anyone dying from getting the vaccine. If I had little children this would be getting 5/1 on RA. I don't get this anti science attitude that is going arround these days.
