Poll: Are you vaccinated agains the H1N1 aka. Swineflu?

[Orcus The Ultimate]

We all know that this vaccine has been engineered to give profit to pharmaceutical companies so they could exploit us more. Besides, in a sick point of view, it reduces global population.

 

[Scrythe]

Why?

I mean, influenza kills more people a year than H1N1 has killed since the media discovered it. And flu shots themselves have a high chance of either killing or crippling you.

 

[geldonyetich]

Willingness is beside the point: they simply don't have that much vaccine available.

 

[LTK_70]

Where is the option "No cause I have already had it"?

 

[jpoon]

Fuck no I won't be getting this shot. Have you read the ingredients? Don't need toxins and Thimerosol so I definintely won't be letting this shit entering my bloodstream.

 

[TotallyFake]

. And flu shots themselves have a high chance of either killing or crippling you.

Prove it.
Don't just spout "facts" give us some evidence.

i had the Swineflu it's just like any other flu just with a difrent name.
i was sick for 1 week and i had to stay in bed but that was it.
i dont get whats the big deal, why cas people died from it people also die from the regular flu.

I will say this once more, final time. Hopefully people will get it this time:
What swine flu is NOW is not what we should be scared of. What it might BECOME is worth fearing.

Get it? As swine flu is a novel strain the population has less resistance to it than normal flu. So if it mutates and becomes more pathogenic a large number of people could die. How can we stop that? By vaccinating people and stopping it spreading NOW.

The reason SARS and Bird Flu blew over? They didn't become what we feared they would.SARS was clamped down rapidly and never had a chance to spread, bird flu hasn't yet mutated to gain human-to-human transmission. Hopefully swine flu will blow over, but that won't mean we were wrong to be concerned.

It's more like... You haven't seen a mass pandemic of SARS or Bird Flu because the military research facilities haven't released a version that will kill mass amounts of people yet. The swine flu has no pedigree so I'm doubting this was a naturally occuring virus. Probably yet another experiment by some viral research facility.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

No--I think the entire "pandemic" has been blown out of proportion. Two years back, it was avian flu; before that, it was SARS.

Now if there's an ebola outbreak, believe you me I'll be lining up for a vaccine!

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Nah, I don't care about no swine flu. I'm not even sure how you get a vaccination.

 

[Jared]

Already had it. No where near as bad as people made it out to be...just got alot of rest and I was fine. So, no Vaccine for me.

 

[minispike47]

No because i've already had swine flu in the summer.

 

[mokes310]

No, and every time I get a flu-shot, I get a wicked case of the flu. Seems a bit counter-productive if you ask me

 

[Shock and Awe]

Give it to the people who need it, I am not a person who dies from flu.

 

[Danik93]

well... i got it... It's free and i walked past the hospital and amazingly there was no line so i walked in. i mean why not? My arm was killing me for a couple of days but nothing else.

 

[MiodekPL]

I won't have. I already recovered after A1H1, so vaccine is useless for me. Oh - and I'm still alive!

Has no pedigree? It's H1N1, that's it's pedigree. Y'know, the same kind as Spanish flu? Flu is zoonotic, it crosses between species. And due to the structure of its genetic material (8 seperate chunks, rather than one) it can recombine into new forms if multiple strains infect one animal (namely Pigs. Humans and birds are too different to get disease transfer easily, see the rarity of avian flu. Pigs are in the middle, can get both.)

And if it WAS released from a bioweapons lab, don't you think it'd be more fatal than it is currently?

 

[ToChaos]

Yes, I got it. I got one hour of fever the day after, otherwise there were no side effects.

 

[TheEnglishman]

All the people deemed possibly suseptible to swine flu are getting jabs at the moment in my island of Guernsey, and basically everyone from old to gimp leg are getting a jab.

Than again my Mum stocked up on Tamaflu back when it was the cure for Bird Flu.
