I didn't get it, but I stood with my girlfriend in a three hour line waiting for her and her younger brother to get it.

I have a minor auto-immune disease so the doctor recommended that I get it, but I don't really care either way.

Yes, I'm vaccinated against the regular flu and h1n1. I work in a hospital so it's mandatory.

Some employees here complain, but that's stupid. There are people in the ICUs with h1n1 right now. People have died in this hospital from h1n1. It's stupid to complain. Get the shot and shut up... Anyway, there was no uproar from the hospital employee masses with mandatory tuberculosis screening or the mandatory flu shots last year. All this crap is hyped up by the media. People need to calm the fuck down and stop whining like little selfish bitches.

Anyway this version of h1n1 is not a big deal. People can even recover from it without medical attention. This is not the Spanish flu like people initially feared it was (Spanish flu is an h1n1 subtype that killed 50 million people).

Nope. I'm not going to get a vaccine that obviously has problems. I hear every week how another person is suffering from horrible side effects. I'm not going to be one of those people. Plus I'm not worried about Swine Flu. My immunity is awesome.

I already got mine. Meh.

Better safe then sorry, I hate any type of flu. Sure, a week long vacation never hurts, but you can hardly capitalize on it when you can barely stand and keep throwing up. Oh, and high 30s temperature.

Pretty sure it's only about as dangerous as the normal flu.

I got swine flu a month or two ago, and has far has i'm concerned my immune system works just has well has any vaccine.

Don't be petty. You made a claim, YOU give the evidence to support it. I've looked, can't find anything saying there's a high chance of death from the vaccine. In fact the CDC have given a 1 million to 1 chance of a severe reaction the vaccine (Don't have a direct source.

I'm not taking it and am trying to get swine flu simply to show my family that it is not a horrible disease that will kill off all the children in the world, its just a fucking FLU!

This, only I probably already had it, not sure if it wasn't just a normal flu though...

A a socially responsible individual with a wife and two kids, of course I have been vaccinated.

My mom works as a nurse at MIT, and the majority of the people comming into MIT Medical for a while caught H1N1. If I was going to catch it, I would have done so by now.

I haven't been vaccinated. Besides, the swine flu kills less people than the normal stomach flu. I think the reason people are freaking out is that it mostly targets healthy adults instead of the young, old, and sick.

No. Its just another bullshit flu that the media just hypes up so they can scare you into buying the damn vaccine.

buying?
it's free in holland

Good for you but unfortunately in the land with the 32nd best health care in the world, we have to buy all our medication. Luckily, I haven't been sick in over 4 years

You have an internet connection as well. If I'm too lazy to look, and your obviously too lazy to use a search engine (you know, 'cause they're "petty") then I guess we are at an impasse and there's nothing more to discuss. Go bother someone else.

I am practically being forced to by my public school system, but it's a clusterfuck here.

First the doctors office had it, then they ran out, then the schools had it and now they're out, and then the hospital got it and I got it while I was on visit to a doctor there. So confusing.

Then why do cancer patients live longer here? It's not the 32nd best health care in the world.. IT'S the best if you live longer then anywhere else, you just think you shouldn't have to pay to keep your ass alive. It's private insurance for a reason.

The only reason medical care is expensive here is because of the stress on doctors and the monopoly medical companies have.

And here the vaccine didn't cost at all. I could get it school or pay a co-pay of 15$ for a doctor visit and grab a check-up or have them look at something while i'm there.

Nope, Never Have and Never Will, Partly cos' i don't like needles and partly for principle...
The principle being that i think i'm immune, because i've spent time with friends and family when they've had it, and i did'nt get sick, So hence why i think i'm immune...

Yes, don't get it. It gave me a weak version of the flu, and Swine Flu is totally blown out of proportion.

Yes, I kinda got swepped away with the mindless drones. With it, I got H1N1 for 24 h and felt prefectly fine the day after.

No, I have not. I was offered it free from the school, but I said "no".

Thought I might throw this in, sorry if already been posted.

in the words of my health teacher, it takes more then 3 months to ap-rove a vaccine so no and i don't plan on it

I've looked. I've found nothing that convince me there are high risks. In fact, I've just given you evidence that there's low risk. And my "petty" reference was to the LMGTFY. Why the hell should I have to look to find evidence for YOUR claim.

Either stop making statements without anything to back them up, or go bother someone else.

I got vaccinated and suffered no ill effects.

well since I've got asthma it probably would be a good idea to get one, but I'm not. All it is is a different type of regular flu.

no, i dont see why i should

I got one.

I hope it gives me superpowers.

Nope not really, I've probably already gotten swine flu itself. I don't really care, 99.9% of the time, swine flu is just like a good ol' regular flu.

And btw a lot more ppl die from regular flu than swine flu. They just want to sell their product.
What I don't get is why the companies that are making the vaccine got legal immunity?

Well actually swine flu is trying to get vaccinated against me so ye I probably won't get it cause my country is cheap and our health minister spent the budget on big macs.

sky14kemea:
I was offered one, but I declined it.
From what I've heard I'm safer taking my chances >_>

Same here, my immune system is really strong anyway. I think I already had it and fought it off so I don't care.

I have a surprisingly superior immune system. If I do catch it, nothing significant will happen to me. I gave my shot to someone who might actually need it.

Well that and the whole "Governments engineered swine flu, or at least the vaccine to not be just what it seems." That I subscribe to. I'd rather not take the risk.
