Correlation isn't causation. Someone will always win, that is the way things work. It doesn't mean they played a hand in it or took unfair advantage. Do people who make Tylenol cause headaches or necessarily want people to have headaches?
I got the H1N1 shot yesterday, the first day it was offered in my area. Waited about an hour and a half and hopefully in 2 weeks I'll have protection. I'm not paranoid but I have reasons to take precautions.
When the government discusses a pandemic, people say it is fear-mongering. But if they didn't call it out, people would accuse the government of negligence. Health organizations were worried this was going to be the next bad flu in the spring, and they made a good call in my opinion.
It doesn't matter if 10's of 1000's of people die from the seasonal flu: kids are dying from H1N1 during a time where the flu seasonal is practically non-existent in the Western Hemisphere. This sparks concern for people who are educated in epidemiology. Who cares what conspiracy theorists believe, they cite online, anonymous opinion pieces as facts.
I pay taxes and got a 'free' vaccine ahead of most countries, I'm not complaining.I get more mercury from the fish I eat every week, the adjuvant is basically vitamin E, and I'm making antibodies while bypassing the actually infection stage.
There is a lot of money in not finding cures for diseases.
whether I want them for my kids, we can't even get it here. only babies & toddlers & it's open house, not apptmt. look at NYC, now older teens have to wait like the rest of the city instead of getting it with the other kids. we're doing our best to stay healthy but if one kid gets it in school it will pass around like a hot potato!
ray....it is worse here in my neck of the woods. No shots at all for any but infants and high risk seniors. My 4 year old son just came down with it yesterday, I am sure my daughter will be next. I called the doctor and was told, do not bring him in unless he complains of chest pain or has a severe sore throat (strep). I live in a town of 1400 people, of which about half are school age kids.....yesterday our elementary school alone had 70 kids out with it. Not counting adults or anyone not in that elementary we have 1 in every 20 people with H1N1, so you know the numbers are much higher than that. The next town over had 105. In rural pa, it is bad.
watch the vid and wonder why people wont take it who made it

Got a letter two weeks ago from the PA Dept. of Health asking all paramedics in the city to be available to give out the vaccine. Its like their getting ready for the plague. Most of the people I work with were totally against getting it for ourselves and our family but now they're starting to have second thoughts. I don't know if they are feeding into the panic or what but this is starting to sound like the begining of a Stephen King book. I am a little concerned for my family. I will be at high risk for exposure, but not yet convinced healthy people need it.
From what my son's doctor told me and from the symptoms my son has shown: The flu itself is not any worse than the regular flu, it is the secondary bacterial infections that can happen to those in high risk groups. Today is day 4 for my son and his temperature is back down to normal today. Yeah!!!! At any rate, my doctor told me to make sure he drinks a bunch and if he has chest pain, severe sore throat pain, or ear pain to get him into the office, otherwise just ride it out. If he were in a high risk group (older than 65, pregnant, 3 or younger, persons with breathing problems like asthma, copd, etc...) they are much more concerned and they are hospitalizing many of them. Even before there is any secondary problems as those problems arise quickly and viciously.

hey snoops, sorry to hear. may I ask how hi the fever? for 3days? what did you give to help with fever?
when my daughter had it earlier this yr (I think now it may have been in may) she ran as hi as 105 hi grade fever for 3days up & down. we tried children's motrin & tylenol. pediatrician prescribed tamiflu to help mitigate the flu effect.
plse do keep a close eye on any signs of complications. it is so scary about the secondary complications that may arise in otherwise healthy kids.
I just had the kids get the flu mist on wed. this is just the reg. flu vaccine. rather the shot but still out of stock. H1N1 been delayed also to our area.
with the possible complications that may arise with both the reg. flu & H1N1 I have opted to get the vaccine to play the odds that my kids will not be in the minority that have severe adverse reactions to the vaccine - because the alternative where w/o it & they contract it, if complications arise, it will be swift & treating the flu + the complications will be way too much for their little bodies to handle. sorry, for all those naysayers against the vaccine, I must take the risk of the vaccine than the risk of being naked w/o it.
