dorian gray's kids have swin flu vaccine; yours should too

Why didn't I knw this sooner?!?!?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Both me and Johanna got it for ourselves too, but we don't wanna inject too many poisons into our kid :Spin:
Or well, until this week it hasn't been 100% approved for wee ones, they've been changing their minds constantly so we haven't had much of a (good) choice until pretty much now, and now it's too late.

Dis could also be too young. Is she old enough for a vaccine?

 

[Johanna]

She's one year old soon, and just this week it was approved for kids from 6 months of age here in Sweden so she is allowed now.

 

[swizzlenuts]

If I were you, I'd give her the vaccine.

what really is mind boggling is how this flu got all the way up there where you guys live ... how do you think she got it?

 

[swizzlenuts]

How is it mind boggling? Diseases spread. Ones like the swine flu spread fairly easily. If she was in public she could easily have gotten the disease.

Saw someone die from H1N1 the other night. Literally. I was right there when it was going down. OK, I was outside the room - there was no fucking way I was going in there - but hey, I still *saw* it. I even made some comments.

Always helpful, the dorian

Epidemiology is badass. If I could do it all over again, I'd be an M.D.+PhD in infectious diseases

If I weren't so lazy (hence why I'm an engineer) I'd be an Infectious Disease doctor. That is some kick ass stuff.

so how the fuck do people die from this shit when they say its not a big deal.
this is what confuses me about this flu

 

[dorian gray]

I'd answer this but I'm going to go watch an episode of "Always Sunny"
Will discuss H1N1 later

 

[swizzlenuts]

Who says it's not a big deal?

 

[dorian gray]

That's what I was going to ask but then I realized I've said it myself several times. I've kind of run out of credibility on that one

 

[Hell Mike]

If I were you, I'd give her the vaccine.

Isn't it a bit too late for that now? Johanna says the recommendation is to give it anyway unless it's confirmed so yeah maybe.

Probably from one of her same-age friends, it's been going around. The flu has been here since like a week after the first mexican dropped.

People die from all kinds of things that aren't big deals, like traffic or not drinking enough water or the bubonic plague.

 

[dorian gray]

Bubonic plague is still around, btw.

 

[Hell Mike]

Bubonic plague is still around, btw.

Yeah, kills about as many as this new flu according to RUMOURS.
No idea if that's true though.

 

[dorian gray]

H1N1 isn't really "new".
Anyway, yeah, plague still kills...if you don't have a $12 pack of antibiotics. Which lends credence to my opinion that antimicrobials are the most important human invention of all time.

True, my parents probably had it last time around. The most important human invention of all time is the remote control.
