Confused about H1N1 - Swine Flu Vaccine - What R U doing?

No way I'm getting one. Or my kids. There are to many side effects to this shot and they are also using a live virus to make it. There is a lot bigger chance of contracting the illness this way. They used to make the regular flu shot from a live virus and some people would actually get very ill. I think the H1N1 is very dangerous but I also think the vaccine may be dangerous too.

I'm not going to take the vaccine to be honest. I think it's overhyped, and the swine flu vaccine in 1976 screwed up a lot of peoples lives. Watch a couple videos. Dont let me be bias though, ill just show you my opinion. After that, look up some others ones k? :D Personally i would advise against it though. go to dailymotion.com and look up swine flu vaccine propaganda 1976 and you should get the video. Hope I can help! :)

i am not confused at all about this vaccine. i am flat out not getting it and neither is anyone else in my family. i think alot of it is hype also and we are practicing good hygiene and boosting our immune systems with vitamins and such. it has not been tested long enough and i will take my chance with not getting it.

This swin flu is a big joke. My girlfriends stepdad had it (lives in another room) and no one of us got it. Also when he visited the doctor, doc said that he got natural antidote in his body by getting this Swin Flu so there was nothing to worry about. HAHHHAA x)

Vaccines are a touchy subject with me just because back in the mid 90's i had to perfectly normal toddlers and within a week of getting a series of vaccines they were full blown autism. Im not even going to get into that debate its all over the internet and i only know what i live every day with my children. I just dont think in reguards to this swine vaccine that its had enough time to be tested throughly do they really know what the effect are going to be from it? Is the government going to compensate all the people that have bad effects from it if its found 6 months from now to have been dangerous? I seriously dont think they would, more likely to cover up why everyone got sick or try to blame it on something else. On the other hand what is a parent suposed to do, like if i decide not to vaccinate my children and one of them ends up being one that doesnt ever recover it would tear me apart. Very hard choices for parents to make. Can you trust everything the media says or government says NO. For our family there will be NO flu vaccines because of the risk of the mercury in it, again not saying thats totally to blame but im not willing to take the chance ever again. Very good discussion enjoyed reading how everyone thinks about this topic.

I have three children. I personally was confused over the H1N1 vaccine. I decided that I am getting my children the regular flu vaccine but not the H1N1 vaccine. New medicines and vaccines scare me. Who knows for sure if this vaccine is truly necessary and what side effects or problems it may create years down the road.

The news said we should. All of that it well and good, but I still worry about vaccinating my baby girl with a trial vaccination for a flu virus that seems no more dangerous than the general flu and that hasn't mutated into deadly plague. The previous forms of the vaccine back in the 70s was linked to several illnesses, which is far worse than the flu. I won't be getting it and my husband, who is a nurse, has already decided he won't get it, either. This swine flu vaccine is being rushed into the public. It is also being pushed onto us by every news media outlet in the country. Experts are popping up everywhere saying we should be afraid and blindly take this and not worry about the side effects. They are using scare tactics to make us think we need a vaccine that is being put out before it's even been properly tested. As we all know from other vaccines and medications being pulled off the market before testing, rushing leads to mistakes. I do not want mistakes going into my family.
