I will not get this vaccine. My son will not get this vaccine. Vaccinator, meet .38 Special. SSS, in that order.
Trying out Obamacare.
I work for Big Pharma. Most of my colleagues have said no way to this vaccine. I agree. Too many possible side effects, Guillen-Barre being chief among them.
The groups recommended to receive the novel H1N1 influenza vaccine include:
* Pregnant women
* Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age
* Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel
* All people from 6 months through 24 years of age
*** Children from 6 months through 18 years of age
*** Young adults 19 through 24 years of age
* Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza.
Once the demand for vaccine for the prioritized groups has been met at the local level, programs and providers should also begin vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 through 64 years. Current studies indicate that the risk for infection among persons age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups. However, once vaccine demand among younger age groups has been met, programs and providers should offer vaccination to people 65 or older.

To me, it looks like rationing. What say you???

Well, this makes me mistrust it even more!! It’s coming directly from the government? And there isn’t even a death toll that so far meets the regular flu?
I refuse to take any government contracted vaccine.I’ll take my chances with the swine flu.
Since I’m No longer a member of the militar I can make my own decisions.I refuse to be anyones guinea pig.
I usually get the flu shot but this year I am leery. I’ve read articles that make me more suspicious. I’ve read of quite a few deaths from the shot but imagine there usually are some with other flu shots too.
It sounds like the death councils have already decided who gets the vaccine.
Pig vaccine may cause a serious neurological disease (Guillain - Barre Syndrome)

Interesting in that 2 stories seem to be being played out....1. There will be mandatory vaccinations (MA state legislature is floating some bill), 2. Only folks meeting certain criteria will be allowed to get vaccine. Just an interesting observation. Thots?
My oldest had confirmed swine flu a couple of weeks ago. It appears much more tame than any regular flu I've ever seen.
Never let a good crisis go to waste, you know...
NAC Flu Research (N-Acetyl Cysteine)
Silvio De Flora, M.D., of the Institute of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine at the University of Genoa, Italy, enrolled 262 subjects in a randomized, double-blind study to determine how NAC affects the flu virus. Details of the study are as follows:
· Subjects were given either two placebos or two 600 mg NAC tablets daily for six months during the wintertime flu season.
· All of the participants kept a daily log of their health and symptoms, and were tested for flu antibodies.
· Since blood tests of those taking placebo and NAC showed similar titers of flu virus, the results indicate that NAC did not prevent infection with the influenza virus.
· However, of those who had detectable flu virus in their bloodstream, only 25 percent of those taking NAC developed flu symptoms.
· In contrast, of those who had detectable flu virus in their bloodstream, 79 percent of those taking the placebo developed flu symptoms.
· NAC treatment was well tolerated and resulted in a significant decrease in the frequency of influenza-like episodes, severity and length of time confined to bed.
Thus, the researchers concluded that supplementing with NAC significantly reduces the severity and likelihood of having flu symptoms. Due to its safety and support of the immune, lung and hepatic systems, supplementing with NAC appears to be a wise alternative to Western medicine for enjoying a healthier winter season.
