Swine Flu Gives Its Survivors Supercharged Immunity - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;27370972]The people who died from the swine flu would have died by sneezing as well[/QUOTE] Yes that is what I meant.

I wish I didn't get the vaccine. There was only one study done on it in Belgium of 100 patients and thats what the 'safety conclusion' was drawn on.

So now cold medicine can actually get rid of my cold?

[QUOTE=kenji;27363263]Registering on Facepunch? :v:[/QUOTE] Well some users do spend far too long inside so you never know.

So, are they going to infect more people and then cure them just to get their immune systems better? Because I'd sign up to that!

A few people did die with no other conditions but most of them did have some sort or condition that made them more likely to be hit hard by the virus

Already survived it last time. Best day ever

I have never been vaccinated or sick once but that's pretty cool for all you guys.

[QUOTE=Pockets;27371265]I have never been vaccinated or sick once but that's pretty cool for all you guys.[/QUOTE] Never been sick once, Nah fucking bullshit unless you're 1 year old.

[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;27370954]Lol, allergies are caused by your immune system [i]overreacting[/i] to something. Ironic, no?[/QUOTE] Sadly. All in all, it's a plot devised by felines the world round, intent on making those with allergies against them suffer inhumanely. Not even the swine are able to stop the cat-astrophe.

[QUOTE=bravehat;27371292]Never been sick once, Nah fucking bullshit unless you're 1 year old.[/QUOTE] well i had phimosis when i was a kid but i figure that doesn't really count [QUOTE=bravehat;27372374]Never had the flu, a cold, a fever, the sniffles? Yeah, you have, so you're talking bullshit. Seriously unless you literally live in a plastic bubble with an MBT's overpressure system then you have had an ailment or illness.[/QUOTE] oh

Bird flu will give you the ability to fly.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;27363078]The same way you get immune to anything else. Like immune to getting laid...[/QUOTE] My immunity wore off some time ago. :smith:

Wait does this mean the H1N1 vaccine produces the same effect?

What about the people that got the shot, did they lose their chance at super immunity? [QUOTE=Jurikuer;27370850]Someone doesn't know how their immune system works. Step 1: Get sick Step 2: Stay sick for X days Step 3: Get better Step 4: Immune System levels Up. Immune System became immune to Virus. Now when you face this virus again. Step 1: Virus detected Step 2: Immune System obliterates virus. Step 3: What cold?[/QUOTE] Basically what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. [editline]12th January 2011[/editline] I wish I knew if I ever got the flu now, I do remember getting [b]a[/b] flu when the swine flu stuff was all over the news but since the symptoms are pretty much the same as regular flu I'll never know.

That explains why I haven't been sick since I got it a year and a half ago!

[QUOTE=Dolton;27372970]That explains why I haven't been sick since I got it a year and a half ago![/QUOTE] I haven't been sick either! :dance:

Lol, "survivors". Oh god H1N1 was blown out of proportion so much. Just look at how many people die a year from regular flu.

I went through Swine Flu, wasn't that bad. :qfg:

Swine Flu was like normal flu and not even as deadly. Now all I need is a beast cold virus that makes me immune to all the stuff that can cause a cold!

[QUOTE=Van-man;27370686]OR you could've died.[/QUOTE] Irrelavent. Normal flu is more deadly than swine flu.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

So... now it's good for us? Shit, we've gone from civilisation endng panic to humanity saver in just over a year.

I am not going to go to the source website ever again simply because of this comment "Holy shit, you mean that people who don't die from random disease X get stronger because of it? NO SHIT SHERLOCK! My question is, why aren't we now infecting people with this, to provide the immunity for the rest of their lifetime, and presumably to their offspring? Any regular person could deal with the infection, and by the time they're old and frail and the next animal-transfer disease comes along (I bet it will be porpoises) they'll be totally fine" :frog:

my point is that the person who wrote that doesn't know how shit works at all

When i read title, I thought it said Swine Flue Gives Its Survivors Super Powers

When I had swine flu I intentionally didn't cover my mouth when I coughed/sneezed you're welcome
