one way to ticket straight to hell..but god damn its funny

Yeah, it's said that you can get it from the swine flu vaccine as well.

...Though swine flu itself is 40 times more likely to cause the Guillain-Barre syndrome than the shot.

But then take in consideration that the shot only gives you about 40% protection against the flu, and that it takes 2 months before it gives you any kind of immunity to the flu what so ever! ;)
So i the vaccine increases the risk of getting it, even if the risk from getting it of the vaccine is smaller then getting it from the flu.
 
Can't find the original but this pretty much sums it up.

Just watching this dude makes me want to punch him...so pretentious, he can't even look at the camera or some shit. Bah.

Either way, the whole "I got the shot and my whole family got the shot and look at me...IM FINE!" thing doesn't work out all the same because some people (we live in a world where incest is reality, so I'm gonna be fair here) come from different genetic backgrounds and are effected by certain things differently than others.

A couple things to remember:
- Don't bleach the piss out of absolutely everything, you are supposed to be exposed to SOME shit so your body can gain natural immunity through fighting off shit on its own.
- Many vaccinations are made with various percentages of mercury in them as a stabilizer.
- So many things are genetically altered (even food) anymore by scientists splicing genes from different plants/animals to create better end products, so even things a person isn't normally affected by are causing allergic reactions and shit because they spliced something into it in a lab. For example, they splice genes into crops so they can gain immunities to last a season with better result.

So...keep some things in perspective before jumping with the "I got it, I'm fine, so this must be bullshit" train of thought.

Yeah, that's probably why they initially proposed that you'd need two shots for full protection. I don't know where you got the 40%, myself I read that 90% of the people who got the shot get such a good immune response for the virus, that a single shot would be enough for almost everyone.

Also don't know where you got the 2 months from, at least here THL (National Institute for Health and Welfare) said that it takes 2 weeks for the vaccine to give you a good protection already, and after 3 weeks you'll be fully protected.

It'll also protect you from the second wave, having had the disease already does not.

I really do not see what the problem is about. You're free to choose if you want to be really sick for a week or so (possibly twice if you get hit by the second wave too), or if you want your arm to be stiff and aching for about 2 or 3 days and possibly some fever. It's all there is to it really.

Might be different brands of vaccines or something then. ;X

Well, that would mean that the vaccine contains the second strain as well.. which i find very, VERY odd if thats true.

Yeah, the only problem i have with it is the hysteria over getting the vaccine.. people really seem to think that H1N1 is the deadliest virus ever, and they get so scared that they take the vaccine thinking that they will die if they get the swineflu, when the truth is that it has a lower lethality rate then the seasonal flu.
The exact same thing happened in the 70's, and its happening again.

Oh, and ~50% of my friends who took the vaccine had to lie in bed for a week because they got so sick from it.
The other half didn't have any issues besides that arm thing that every intramuscular injection causes.

Either way, i never took the vaccine against the seasonal flu.. neither has any of my friends, or my family.
Ive had the regular flu 3 times, the last time i got a fever of 40 degrees Celsius and had some major hallucinations, but i didn't need any real medical attention that time, so why would i take the vaccine against a flu that has a much lower lethality rate?

But yeah, if you feel insecure, take the vaccine!
But i strongly suggest reading up about both the flu and the vaccine before taking it.

+1

However, from what I've read, the seasonal flu doesn't appear to be worse than h1n1 (based off of the differences in who's affected). In a 60mins interview, the cdc said h1n1, so far, h1n1 has killed more children this year than a normal year.

Regardless, I still haven't got the shot and I don't really plan to. Both sides seem to be blown out of proportion. Sucks that your friends got sick.
