    Default Who is getting the H1N1 Vaccine?

    Now that they are predicting 50% of population will get this version of the flu who here is planning to get the brand spanking new vaccination?

    I for one never get experimental shots for any reason. If i catch it ill just get tamiflu which is dangerous enough.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    I never get the regular flu shot... which is far more lethal than this new 'sniffles' strain.

    no chance in hell I get this shot. If people want to know a reason healthcare costs go up... look no further than a make believe crisis. (Note: I am not suggesting this is a major cause of increases by any means, just pointing out the mindset)

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    The flu isn't the cold, Charver. Enough people die of it every single year in the US to fill up my town three times. It's ignorant rot like that that's the cause of these preventable deaths.

    None of us fall into the category where it would be given in any time frame that it might do some good. By the time it is available for the regular population it will have run its wave and you'd already have been sick if you were going to catch it.

    Pregnant women and kids with asthma, that's who will be getting it first in mid-October, it takes two shots and the wave in the US usually lasts 6 to 8 weeks and the tide is already rising with cases reported in schools in the US. It will be over before the vaccination is available to most of us. Watermark can stand in a line of one getting a vaccination for a flu he's already suffered from.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Luckily i am in a state tip top physical fitness and do not require the help of needle wielding medics to save me from some temporary mild discomfort.

    Ma and Pa charver are in an at risk group and will therefore be having the vaccination at some point. If i'm desperate i can always pop round and feast on their blood.

    to quote you: 'retard'.

    try learning something about health and medicine before attempting to sound like you know something at the age of 19
