I'm just curious if this has changed anybody's way of thinking about getting flu shots as it has mine.
I'm not sure what "this" you are referring to, but I am not getting it for sure, and I am campaigining for my 10 year old daughter not to get it as well.
Based on the following;
Statisticly it's just another flu.
It is being way over-hyped by a group of politico's who I don't trust and who are associated with other people who stand to make millions both on the vaccines and the rush for tamiflu products, but only if the hype and propoganda are effective.
I believe I have already had it, a few people at work got it when one of their kids did. I got sick at the same time but it was very mild and lasted about 3 days, most of which I worked and stayed away from people.
If my daughter (10 yrs.) gets it and shows more severe symptoms tamiflu will be sufficient to treat it at that point should it become necesary. it is very effective.
I am not sure the flue is that harmful, but I know the vaccine itself in it's various forms has aluminium, mercury, some detergents, some oxidizers, and possibly some adjuvant agents depending on how trustworthy this administration is. I am sure that all these things are harmful to a certain degree especially to children since most of those things can be traced to neorological disorders and retardation in developing brains.
So, basically I am not convinced of the emergency, but it is documented that in the more severe cases tamiflu is enough to treat it, and the chances of the vaccine even being effective against the strain of this new and unstable flu is very questionable so why would I hurt my daughter for no reason to gain questionable results for a threat that I don't see, when I can wait and see and if I'm wrong about the threat there is still a very successful treatment that DOES work.
