That being said, ALL levels of government can take an ass-kicking for this farce. But then, I mostly hate government anyway.
Should be awesome LOL
So unless I plan on crossing the Canadian boarder im not getting that shit lol.
?? You're not making sense.
H1N1 Vaccine has risks and side effects to my knowledge.
Yeah I got those forwards too. From the same Saudi King who wants to give me $4 million. I just need to borrow $1000 from someone to get the paperwork done....anyone want to lend me the dough?
Seriously though, what risks or side effects do you know about that you can quote a source that isn't selling something......
what type of split for this stake?
?? You still don't make any sense ...
H1N1 Vaccine is safe. You're more likely to die from a part falling from a plane then the vaccine.
Any vaccine/drug has side effects.
Tell that to Donnie.
Who's Donnie?
Hijack
Let's see who get's the obscure move reference.
I swear I seen something on T.V about there being a lot of side effects, risks etc.
Another fine article on their site.
and this one
You don't actually believe the stuff on that hoax site do you? You're really limiting your credibility...
This... Donnie Darko (2001) - FAQ

an old favorite...
But when you begin to advise others against doing so, you might want to have better science to back up your reasoning than some thinly veiled "conspiracy" site. If you want to take your medical advice from Suzanne Somers, or Jennie McCarthy (or their internet equivalents) go ahead. But please do not cloud the discussion with junk science. The possible dangerous side effects of the H1N1 vaccine are infinitely less than the potential harm the disease can cause. This information is readily availabel on the Health Canada web site, as well as the CDC site, and many others. I would trust those sites far more readily than the one you linked to . . . and I hate the government.
This is medicine not religion. Your "belief" doesn't trump the fact that nobody... NOBODY... has died from a vaccination but several people have died from flus. Not just H1N1 either but the regular flu as well (such as the elderly or people suffering from other serious ailments). I'm trying to spread fear and suggest you should run screaming to the nearest clinic to get your shot our you will die but I am seriously getting sick of this vaccine is voodoo bullshit I keep hearing from people.
Vaccine's will not hurt you and anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand the basic science of vaccines, antibodies, etc... Let's keep the vague confusion caused by statements like "I've heard that... I saw a video somewhere where someone once said... I know someone who said their cousin's former roommate got sick from it because...". Really?? Wow, facinating and yet the medical community at large get the vaccine for themselves and their families when neccessary. Hmm.... who's the more reliable source I wonder?
Anyways. Don't mean to sound so pissy but I've been dealing with a lot of this type of crap for the last while (along with a lot of other people I'm sure) and it's just a real annoying pet peeve of mine.
That being said, I haven't gotten vaccinated yet because I'm not in the high risk category (I'm leet!!) but once I can I will get it from my family doctor just like I have gotten the flu vaccine every year for several years now with absolutely no ill effects.
While no one has died from the shot yet there have been 5 or 6 people hospitalized after going into anaphylactic shock or suffering from severe chills. (a very small number considering the shots that have been doled out so far)
The vaccine hasn't been tested on a few brackets of kids. (0-6 and 10-12 I believe) or people over 55 if my memory serves me right (getting older at 35).
The Canadian Government has said to Glaxo, don't do the full run of testing, release it now, and if you get sued we will cover it. Glaxo would not have released the drug yet without that assurance.
So people who have fears about this vaccine do have a very strong reason to do so.
That said I will be getting the vaccine as I think the benefits outweigh the risks for me and I want to protect my family especially the elderly members.
Each person must make their own choice and I won't attack someone for having fear about it. But research it and make an informed decision. Don't just take a knee jerk reaction either way.
Good luck guys and gals,
(don't rely on this as medical advice, do your own research)
Hmmm did't figure you for a Donnie Darko fan.
Pretty much 100%. The reason for the gov't shielding GSK is that they (the feds) are relying on foreign test results for the vaccine. Generally speaking, each country does their own testing prior to approval for a given medication. The government of Canada felt it prudent to act more quickly than usual due to the fears of a pandemic surrounding H1N1. This seems more like a political decision on their part, rather than a medical one.
That being said, the science behind how vaccinations work is as close to bullet-proof as you will find. The reactions you describe (anyphlaxis, for one) would be considered a pre-existing condition, and not necessarily a flaw in the vaccine itself. How is one supposed to know of an allergy such as this, after all? As soon as I can, I will be vaccinated, as will the rest of the family. It is just common sense to me.
All this fear-mongering over vaccines is just a bunch of foil-hat nonsense. Ask your grandparents about Polio, if you think otherwise. There's something to fear, imo.
i would be with pokerjah and IF i was going to get it i would do it through my doctor.
i also am with Milo statement of i hate the government:).
I won't go into much with side effects as i do want to know more about this and the testing, but people at my mom's work got it and they now have weird side effects from it.

They YEAs have it.
(there's a perversion of 'The medium is the message' joke here)
All that being said, I won't be getting this, or any, vaccine requiring extra effort from me; due primarily to laziness, and followed closely by a lack of necessity.
