Ultimately the decision is yours. I would weigh the risks and the benefits before getting it though. I personally don't think that I will get the shot. Yes I live in a college residence hall and people here have gotten the swine flu. But I have yet to get it.

check this out- its cool
The actual flu isn't that bad.
If you have a generally healthy immune system you'll be fine.
My entire family has had it. My boyfriend was stuck inside for a couple days and missed one and a half days of work. He coughed a lot and slept a lot.
Everyone else had a milder case. Mine wasnt bad at all. His father who is diabetic was 'over' it in two days. His sister caught it, and her fiance. They were both fine in under a week.
It really isn't worse than the regular flu, despite all the hype.
the reason its killed 'so many' is because no one had any built up immunity, as they do to the regular flu.
 
     
We can build the future in steel and brass.

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

I will not get the flu shot or H1N1 shot

I saw that on the local news.

That's one reason I'm not getting it.

Another reason I'm not is because there's no need. It's highly unlikely that I'll get it even though tons of people at my school have it. And it's only lasted for a week for everyone I know who's gotten it.

I'm not getting it, I see no use in it.
The companies making it wanted to cash in on the hysteria while they could and released it early in production.
And I really don't trust the ingredients in it either.
In fact, the city I live in is shutting down a lot of the clinics around here's ability to give the vaccine because demand's getting too out of hand.

The flu shot did not CAUSE the problem she has. The doctors that have commented on it are pretty sure it may have triggered an underlying disorder. It could have just as easily been triggered by any other trauma, illness, or drug reaction. The H1N1 flu shot will not just give you a mental disorder.

I got the vaccine for both of my kids (ages 10 and 2) and they're both hunky-dory. There are possible side-effects for any vaccine/immunization.

If you've been reading about it, I'm sure you've heard that it can cause neurological disorders. That's not proven. The H1N1 vaccine from 1976 did, but this one is made differently. In fact, it's made the same way that the seasonal flu shot is made.

It contains mercury. This is true. It contains a preservative called Thermasol which contains mercury. BUT it's less mercury than is contained in a can of tuna. No danger to you at all. If you drink tap water, then you get that much mercury in your system every day.

It hasn't been tested. But it's made EXACTLY the same way as the seasonal shot, so there isn't much that can go wrong.

The vaccine has, however, shown in lab tests to work very well in causing an immune response to the H1N1 virus.

It's ultimately up to you, but the chance that you'll die from H1N1 is about 1% and the chance you'll have any reaction at all to the shot is about .01%

Hope this helped.
     
Oh, you're serious? Then let me laugh even harder.

It's the flu.
It won't kill you unless you completely ignore the fact that your sick.

Don't worry. Just treat it like the regular flu if you happen to get it.

I won't be getting the mist or injection since it was rushed to production.
Also, i've been hearing the mist can cause the flu. Guess they didn't completely kill the virus.

I think if you're prone to seasonal flus, you should probably get the shot. I have never had the flu in my entire life (as I remember it), so I think this shot would be pretty unnecessary for someone like me.

Fun fact: The WHO (World Health Organization) states in their own documents that a person who receives a seasonal flu vaccination is twice as likely to get the flu.

Another - Studies by the WHO and CDC show that the H1N1 Influenza has a 0.5% (other independent agencies conducted studies and found that the actual mortality rate of the swine flu virus is even estimated to be as low as .007 percent) mortality rate and that the common cold is far more dangerous and lethal than Swine Flu itself. That means H1N1 swine flu kills less than one person in 100,000. Even if the vaccine works, let’s say, 10 percent of the time, you’d have to vaccinate one million people to prevent one death from swine flu.

Contrary to popular belief and the, "mock" science/testing they do on vaccinations; the majority of them don't really vaccinate you against anything. This is more or less, the biggest lie of all, and the media pushes it hard. Getting a vaccine, they insist, will protect you from the swine flu or the seasonal flu but it’s just flat-out false. Even if the vaccine produces antibodies, that’s not the same thing as real-world immunity from a live virus, especially if the virus mutates (as they often do). In the end they end up causing more damage than good by laying waste to your immune system do to the harmful adjuvants inside the vaccines.

Now then, you're right that this H1N1 vaccine is made up similar to the seasonal flu shot but what is in the seasonal flu shot exactly? Here's just a few of the ingredients of the seasonal flu vaccine;

Egg proteins: including avian contaminant viruses

Gelatin: known to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin

Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™): can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis

Formaldehyde: known carcinogen

Triton X100: a strong detergent

Sucrose: table sugar

Resin: known to cause allergic reactions

Gentamycin: an antibiotic

Thimerosal: mercury - Thimerosal is about 50% mercury by weight to be exact!

Like I said above, those are just a few of the ingredients in the regular seasonal flu vaccination. Now, the Swine Flu vaccination itself contains them along with far more potentially toxic adjuvants in it which cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders. (Like Guillain-Barre Syndrome) Not to mention all of the extremely harmful and potentially deadly side effects that have been linked to this shot and fetuses in pregnant women. Like you said though; this hasn't been proven, right? Of course it hasn't been proven because the vaccine production was "rushed" and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Therefore there has been no long term (or short term for that matter) studies on the negative side effects from this shot. So basically, when you line up for the Swine Flu vaccination, you get to have that special sense of moral servitude because you and your children are being used as guinea pigs for an untested shot.

In short, there is virtually no reason ANYONE should get this shot.

Don't listen to the over-hyped mainstream media about this bullshit scam-dempic. Do your own research on what is getting put into your body, it's all documented and is out there.

I usually am very pro-active in getting shots. I got the seasonal flu shot this year...

Wasn't happy with the results, I will put it at that. Now people are raging to get the H151 shot and I'm going ehhhh.

It's not that I fear a 'one in the million' things that could happen. I just see it easier to wash my hands and keep myself away from sick people easier than putting my health in the hands of something rushed.

I never said the shot was the cause for her problem. =.=

I heard it where it said the doctors said it triggered the illness.

It's a bad idea. Regular flu shots have mercury in them, plus the people making them go off of last year's strain, so all you're getting vaccinated for is last year's flu. The H1N1 shot isn't a good idea either. It's not been out long enough to be tested long term. If you're that worried, use purell and stay away from people coughing.
