Fuck these 1/1,000,000 scare stories.

For the record I think I got the flu maybe once or twice between those six years.
I'm 16 now, the last time I took it was several years ago (can't even remember) I think it was when I was 13. I haven't gotten the flu since. I try to stay away from medicine and doctors, even when my mom wants me too. I'm the one who decided not to get the damn shots.

The only medicine I ever take is for the cuts of scratches I get. To disinfect, but I guess that's not really medicine right?

I got the flu last year (which is rare for me). Coincidentally it was the first time I had a flu shot in a long time also. I know that they inject you with the virus in its dead/dying stage.. but I'm suspect..lol. You guys know its a crap shoot right? They try to guess which version will be prevalent that year.

You can also get the nasal version of the vaccine.


"Influenza is a serious disease, and people of any age can get it. In an average year, seasonal flu causes 36,000 flu-related deaths (mostly among those aged 65 years or older) and more than 200,000 flu-related hospitalizations in the United States. "

No way should pregnant women take any kind of strong medicines or vaccines in their pregnancy. That's freaking retarded and it's like playing Russian Roullette with your kid.

Yeah it's a dying virus, but still, it's that much more energy going towards finishing off / learning how to deal with the virus, that could be going towards making a baby.

Flu vaccines (the flu shot and the nasal-spray flu vaccine (LAIV)) cause antibodies to develop in the body.

There are different types.
From the same page. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/fluvaccine.htm

"The nasal-spray flu vaccine contains attenuated (weakened) live viruses, and is administered by nasal sprayer. It is approved for use only among healthy* people 2-49 years of age who are not pregnant."

http://www.babycenter.com/404_should-i- … nt_2488.bc
Yes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the World Health Organization (WHO) all recommend a flu shot for women who will be pregnant during flu season (October to mid-May). That's because if you get the flu while you're pregnant, you're more likely to have serious complications, such as pneumonia, that could put you and your baby at risk.

What's more, there's evidence that getting a flu shot during pregnancy offers your baby some protection after birth: Anti-flu antibodies that you develop after getting the shot are passed to your baby, providing him with immunity that may be protective until he's 5 or 6 months old.

This is important because young babies who catch the flu are at particular risk for serious illness, but they can't be vaccinated themselves until they're 6 months old. Learn more about flu shots for children.

Well the Norwegian government recently went out and advised everyone to take the swine flu shot, so I probably will as well.

I mean, it doesn't take a lot of effort now, does it?

(also, lol, Norway has purchased 9 million doses of this stuff, and we're only like, 4.5 million people )

I trust most medicines. Just not the ones that the government and public health services deem "essential" to combating a potential pandemic that end up doing MORE harm than the virus they're trying to protect you against!

It's like a vaccine for HIV possibly giving you cancer. Sure it's important that everyone be immune to HIV, but I'm not gonna risk getting cancer in exchange for total protection against a virus that I'm not guaranteed to get anyway.
