same here. if i feel like i would just be wasting time going to class, i would just stay at home and try to heal a lot sooner. that vaccine is like russian roulette.

I have never gotten a flu shot and never intend to. This swine flu can kiss my a$$.

Russian Roulette has 1/6 odds. The odds of serious complications related to the H1N1 vaccine are no where near that.

I've had Tamiflu, the anti-viral for Swine Flu, it wasn't a shot or anything, it was in a form of tablets. I had to take two a day. They make you feel really sick and a little light headed.

I didn't really have a choice about declining it or asking for something else.

I got the Flu Shot last year and plan on getting it again this year. My work offers vaccination for free. I don't plan on getting the H1N1 vaccination, however.

I know four people that have had the swine flu in the past three or so weeks. They were out of school for a week, then came back perfectly fine. They said they felt pretty crappy, but it wasn't all that terrible. I really think people are really overreacting to it. No vaccination for me.

My two younger daughters (8 and 5) were just given nasal spray shots. They are supposed to get a second dose in a couple of weeks. One of my 11 year old's class mates missed several weeks of school after coming down with Swine Flu. Doctors' offices are still asking patients to come into the offices even if they don't have the Swine Flu variant in order to statistically track the outbreak.

Swine Flu I can deal with. Getting a staff infection after going to the hospital because of the Swine Flu scares the hell out of me.

Europa is absolutely correct regarding the sensationalism people attributing to this outbreak. Last Spring, the federal government issued a memo to staff asking people to not congregate more than 2 feet from each other to prevent spreading of infection. I'm just glad I wasn't one of the rocket scientist feds who authored that memo.

Andromeda Strain, anyone?

yeah, the same thing actually happened with a girl in my calc class a couple weeks ago.

Oh my that is absolutely horrible. Now my fiance doesn't even want to get the swine flu shot.

DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK ON SWINE FLU

This is an email sent to a friend of Dr. Blaylock and is now being forwarded to anyone interested. Please pass it along. Also note the attached biography of Dr. Blaylock. Dr. Blaylock is a board certified neurosurgeon, author and lecturer. He attended the LSU
School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his general surgical internship and neurosurgical residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston , SC.

No one should take this vaccine (Swine Flu vaccine)—it is one of the most dangerous vaccines ever devised. It contains an immune adjuvant called squalene (MF-59) which has been shown to cause severe autoimmune disorders such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus.

The newsletter for August covers this and it may not be out yet. This is the vaccine adjuvant that is strongly linked to the Gulf War syndrome, which killed over 10,000 soldiers and caused a 200% increase in the fatal disease ALS (Lou Gehreg disease). This virus H1N1 kills by causing a “cytokine storm”, which means that it cause the body’s immune system to overreact and that is why it is killing young people and is a mild disease in the elderly. (The elderly have weakened immune systems.) This vaccine is a very powerful immune stimulator and carries the real possibility of making the lethality of the virus much greater.

One’s best protection is vitamin D3.. One should take 5000 IU a day now and when the
disease begins to spread increase the dose to 15,000 IU a day. Vitamin D3
modulates the immune reaction, reducing the chance of an overreaction and stimulates the body to produce what are called antimicrobial peptides, which are powerful killers of viruses that does not involve immunity. This is dose related, which means the higher the dose of vitamin D3 the better the protection. Fish oils (the best is Carlson’s Norwegian lemon flavored fish oil) also reduce immune overreaction. One teaspoon a day should be
sufficient.

For severe symptoms, one teaspoon twice a day. Antioxidants of various kins also help—this includes, quercetin, curcumin, grapeseed extract, vitamin C and natural vitamin E. A good multivitamin/mineral such as Extend Core (www.vrp.com) is also essential.

Too bad this happened to the girl from a regular flu shot, not the H1N1.
