Vote! Will You Get the Swine Flu Vaccine?

Will You Get the Swine Flu Vaccine?

President Obama made sure his daughters were administered the swine flu vaccine. Are you rushing to get the shot?

"I think there's a lot of data on the overall effectiveness and safety of that vaccine," CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta tells "Extra." Dr. Gupta, who contracted the swine flu while in Afghanistan, adds, "In this case, I think the benefits outweigh the risks."

Internist Dr. Derrick DeSilva says you could be fine without the vaccine. "99.9% of people aren't going to die from the flu whether they got the vaccine or not."

"Extra" wants to know: Will you get the swine flu vaccine?

I was given the the flu shot, pnueumonia shot, and h1n1 a month ago and I have been very sick with the flu for the last four days, n/v, fever, , sore throat, bodyaches and weight loss. The sweats just continue, I advise, everyone to sit back and think before you take this injection. I wish I had never done it. The nurse told me I was the first she had given it to,,, strange

I won’t be getting this rediculous shot! The more government puts this scare to me the more resistent I become! Like many here have said.. the President Emergency order on this was completely rediculous!! MANY people die of the flu each year.. the 1000 that occured when he issued this “emergency” was a typical season! It’s a farce… and a million dollar money maker for government in their push for “healthcare”!!

If you recall.. here’s the story as portrayed by MEDIA of the H1N1 Virus…

“Swine flu is here”.. no don’t call it SWINE flu, it’s the H1N1 Virus..”

“Not an epidemic,.. everyone will be fine —do not panic”

“H1N1 Virus is now World Wide.. and everyone should be concerned.. not to worry there will be plenty of vaccines to go around..”

“People will need multiple shots to combat this virus…”

“Check that—people will need only ONE shot, therefore there will now be waaay more than enough vaccine”!

“Still not enough vaccine, but you really SHOULD get your shot”..

“President has ordered a state of emergency for the H1N1 flu… we’re putting out the vaccines as quickly as we can make them..”

Oh.. and by the way…. this shot BY-PASSED ALL RIGOROUS TESTING before innoculating the public?

The conspiracies are running rampant in this new administration called “government”. The complete lack of experience is truly beginning to show in ALL facets of our “new world order” administration. Gullible Americans will believe anything this President has to tell them.


- lol a government hoax!!

I had heard your better off getting the pneumonia shot instead of the H1N1 vaccine because most people die from the secondary infection which is PNEUMONIA and it is the bacterial pneumonia that you get and the pneumonia shot is for the bacterial infection. Also take at 2,000 mg of Vit D3 evedryday which builds your immune system & also lots of garlic in your food or just crush a clove everyday and swallow it with water. If your on a blood thinner be careful with the garlic because garlic also thins the blood. I also drink alot of Kefir which is just like yogert but better because it has more good bacteria. It builds the immune system and also fights off virus’s. It tastes like a smoothie & you get it at any grocery store by the yogert.

I just got the H1N1 shot and I had no side effects. I get the flu shot every year since I work in the health field, and I’ve never gotten sick from it. When I do get sick, I had felt sick prior to being vaccinated, and probably got it too late.

Personally, I much rather risk getting side effects of the vaccine than the disease itself.

My husband spent 30 yrs in the USArmy and was required to get the flu shot every year. He tells me he got the flu every year. He retired in 1999 and hasn’t had the flu since. Needless to say we won’t be getting any of the shots.

People need to be know that even when you get the flu shot you can still die of the flu and pneumonia is what you die from and that shot isn’t a sure thing that you aren’t going to die. they don’t keep records because they don’t want us to see that this way of thinking (get your flu shot and every thing will be all right)is wrong! To be on the safe side you better be taking care of yourself or you are going to paid! Vitamin D makes cathelicidin,a protein with virus-killing qualities. Codliver oil will work for that! Then get some Zinc, it works with codliver oil which has vitamin A also to keep you from getting pneumonia. Zinc supports the immune system, stimulates white blood cells and enhances the healing of infections. And zinc works with Vitamin A to keep us well. Take all of these at the first sign of a cold or flu and you will be better in no time! Chicken soup will also help in a big way to keep you well or get you well. Also raw Garlic,the best thing for infections. Put it in your chicken soup it will work magic. With carrots and celery, onions and garlic, all loaded with antioxidants that protect the cells of nose, throat and lungs from virus-induced damage. Onions are a good source of vitamin C and quercertin, capable of killing cold and flu viruses. Zinc also which is in the chicken soup has a virus-fighting substance called interferon. The soup also has cysteine, which break up mucus and facilitates its expulsion, it also used to repair cells and tissues in the respiratory tract. Thank you Father God for making all these things for our body to get and stay well!

The swine flu shot has heavy metals in the formula and an adjuvant which can cause neurological disorders. There are a certain amount of people who die from flu EVERY year, so the drug companies and their doctors are scaring everyone. It’s better to improve your immune system regularly than to take flu shots. Did you know that the gov and the drug companies are immune from lawsuits? That’s why they don’t have a problem putting it out there. NO risk.

I’ve already had the vaccine(with absolutely NO side effects) because I work with at-risk individuals. Do you really want your healthcare worker to expose you or your family to this virus? Just saying …

I’ve been thinking about it, but our local supply is short and very few are getting it. I am in one of the high-risk categories and am still being turned away. All most of us around here can do is take care of ourselves and pray for the best.

I am a lung transplant patient and it was necessay for me to get the h1n1 vaccine. if i get h1n1 it would kill me. I don’t think the vaccine is at all overrated. I’ve ben following a story about a seventeen year old who got deathly ill from h1n1. He is better now bu faces a ot of physical therapy to ge his strength back. Why take chances with your life!

I had the H1N1 spray vaccination last tuesday. I felt good the rest of that day. The rest of the week got a little worse. A bad cough and a throbbing headache gradually took over, but everyone can react to the vaccine differently. Hopefully you’ll have a better reaction.

no. I don’t see the need to when it seems like it is really no different then the regular flu. People die from regular flu every year, and it wasn’t until now that we kept track of numbers.
