After doing research on this vaccine but also all others, I am very disappointed by the society. They vaccine us although these vaccines are useless and dangerous for health.

Due to my health concerns done took it Friday as my doctor wanted me to. My daughter will have hers done Monday. However due to my boyfriends open heart surgery that is coming up, he has to stay in and away from anyone that might be ill, will have his given after the surgery to prevent any possiable complications.

I work in a pharmacy and get the vaccine for free as soon as the government sends it in, so I will be definitely taking advantage of the offer, as well as calling my friends and family when we get it so they can rush down before we're all out!

We have lost a 7 year old boy in our town that attended the State School to H1N1 about two weeks ago. A friend of mine has a daughter that turns 1 today and is in the hospital with H1N1 and since this infant has heart issues from birth as well as others, it is not known wither or not she will make it. My daughter has a half sister that now suspected to have H1N1 and will be tested for it. We have no vaccinations here in our area for this nor is testing being done in many cases. So far the deaths that we are aware of have been young people under the age of 20.

Yes, some people are really sick here and there around the world. But remember that 36,000 US citizens die from the ordinary seasonal flu every year. And the swine flu vaccine has never been proven to prevent the flu. The vaccine has not even been tested. The FDA issued a waiver to allow it to be distributed before it was tested for either safety or efficacy.
So I'll take my chances on my own excellent immune system that has beaten every flu and plague that has come along so far.

In Sweden a lot of people are now sick. Some must be in respirator. I figure a few side effects as small belly ache and my arm hurting a bit is better than being in a respirator.

Well, gee, that was a quick epidemic. It seems that it's over. They didn't even get half of the vaccine made, and the germ has already peaked. Soon it will be as forgotten as the Avian Flu.

Glad I didn't get any shots for it.

Wow, Cynthia, that's heavy. It's hard to understand how the powers that be can ignore such results.

Personally, I'm a firm believer in the saying, "Never ascribe to vast conspiracy what can be explained in terms of sheer human stupidity."
