I think it's all bullshit.
Everywhere I go everyone think's that they have the disease.
A couple of friends of mine stayed home because they had a cold, said that they had the swine flue.
Now I stay in school even though I'm sick, if I have a fever or something.
I haven't even vomited since I was a baby, and I've heard that a lot more people has died from the "normal" flue then the swine flue.
Somehow this reminds me of I am Legend where they find out a cure for cancer and when they take it civilization is fucked
I know a lot of people that has taken the shot but I'm not going to take it, I'm just not afraid of this overhyped mainstream disease.
Share your feelings about this matter
I think the discussion around it is fucking pathetic
Theres no point getting the shot, it was rushed out anyway.
Swine flu basically is normal flu.

Exactly
The media kept treating the subject (pun unintended) as a very serious case, so don't be surprised if we've got people who, at their first cough, go around and scream ZOMG I GOT SWINE FLU IMMA DIE
Sometimes you might even think people are bragging about having the flu

Some girl I know always thought she was ill, some guy in my class had a name for it. It was annoying as shit.

That sums this topic up quite well.
Complete crap

Hypochondriac?
The only difference between H1N1 and the normal flu is that it is much more contagious.
Other than that, it's the media being dicks about it.
Also, flu vaccinations cause more harm than good. By that, most of the time you get the vaccine, you wind up with the symptoms of that flu that last the same amount of time as that flu.
In short, getting a flu shot is not only a waste of my time, but a compromise to health.

So, extrapolating from these points, there's no point in the normal vaccine? I mean, it's just normal flu. And a seasonal Flu vaccine will give you minor symptoms.

I got the H1N1 vaccine yesterday, they hype about it being horrible is bullshit. I didn't even get the shot, I got the nasal spray, which is a live version of H1N1. I got nauseous for ten minutes, and I hadn't eaten anything except some cereal, meaning that it was probably unrelated to the vaccine.

[QUOTE=lord_trid;18350671]Hypochondriac?[/QUOTE]
Yeah that is it.
do we really need a thread about swine flu like nearly every day
I got the shot. I really don't understand what all the commotion is about, as a vaccine is dead or dying viruses that your body can easily fight off. I had a reaction and ran a slight temperature, but that was it. No other reaction, and I expected the temperature from injecting a virus into my body.
I don't regret taking that shot.
Everyone saying that the vaccine is useless because the virus won't kill them doesn't know a lot about the whole point of the vaccine. If you get the disease and survive it you still pass on the virus to other people. And more infected people means more chance of a dangerous mutation.
The goal of this vaccine is not so much to protect from this strain, but to prevent it from mutating into something dangerous.
Your opinions > My doctors opinion
I'll take Dr. Harris's opinion when he says 'trust me, you're better off with the shot.'
I hope it horribly mutants anyone who uses it, this seperating the stupid paranoid people fron the normal people :smug:

Everyone who gets vaccinated is paranoid? GJ.

o no but obama paid him hes trying to kill u with teh mercury in vaccine !1!!eleventyone
I got them both yesterday. :smug:
I think that I'm ignoring it because it has little to no effect on me.
[QUOTE=The golden;18351187]Viruses aren't alive to begin with.[/QUOTE]
I find it easier to use the popular, textbook depictions of a virus than the actual representations. I don't know a term for "dying" that corresponds to a nonliving microscopic infestation.
What's with the Flue instead of Flu?
It seems kind of worthless to vaccinate EVERYONE against it. Why not simply vaccinate small children, astmathics, etc?
My opinion: I had it, so did the doctors said. It is a harder form of normal flu and it sucks, but nothing deadly if you have enough IQ to take some paracetamol when you feel the fever and erythromicin on daily basis. At least that's how it was for me, you probably need a proper doctor's advice.
Tamiflu: Doesn't do shit except makes it harder for you to infect others. Known fact.
Flu shot: I have no idea, but it would make sense that such ammounts of dangerous chemicals and active form of flu are a bad mix to just inject into everyone around. But who knows, maybe those doctors and chemists are actually worth something.
I'm doing my research paper on swine flu.
Specifically, how all the hype about it is virtually unjustified, and we don't need to worry about it.
There are far worse influenza strains out there. Seasonal flu being one of them.

It's winter time now. OP is reminding us to open our flues before lighting the fireplace.
Thanks OP.
I had the flu. It sucked, but it's not like it killed me.
Now I've got this lingering cough though. Been around for weeks.

Just spit up your phlegm. If you keep swallowing it it's gonna stay in your throat.
