No flu shot for me...

Okay this is the problem.
Let's clarify.
The seasonal flu is the one that millions of people get vaccinated against every year. The shot is comprised of the the flu variants that scientist believe will be the most prevelant that year and as such the contents of the vaccine vary year on year.
The H1N1 Flu vaccine is the one specifically designed to combat swine flu. It is separate from the seasonal flu vaccine and, at least in Britain, vaccinations using it have not yet begun but will do shortly.
From this it is safe to assume that the vaccine she had WAS NOT the H1N1 vaccine but more likely the far more common seasonal flu vaccine and given that regular seasonal flu kills literally thousands every year the chances of suffering a side effect from the vaccine far outweigh the thousands of one to chance of catching flu and suffering any related complications.
Let's also remember that the flu variants included in the vaccine are only the variants that are assumed to be the most common that year which means that individuals that have had the flu vaccine can still catch the flu but since most flus contain some basic commanility, having had the flu vaccine means that you will also have the antibodies which usually means that the results of catching the flu are lessened.
F.Y.I i'm not ranting about that you should not take the vaccine, it's just that iv'e not been that hyped about it, it's more that the first vid just discouraged me even more and that the second vid explained some of the ingredients in it
Or to put it simply, is it worth the hassle? Because 2 of my mates have been sick for the past couple of days after the taking the H1N1 shot

Given that all types of 'flu can be deadly (I think they kill 45,000 people a year in Europe/America. I looked this up a while ago so I may be totally off-base here), if you are at-risk then you should definitely get the shot.
The girl's condition is debated as to whether it's real, and there is no evidential link between the condition and the shot either.
As an aside, did you know that 100% of domestic accidents happen in the home? Something to think about if you are worried about a 1-in-a-million chance of something that may not even be related at all. Given that there is a 1-in-a-thousand chance of you dying in your armchair in the total time it takes for the lottery numbers to be drawn, there are other things you should be worried about

But... Doesn't everybody get a lot of shots before their 10th? I even remember everyone telling me that getting 10 was painful cause you'll get two shots at the same time (one in each shoulder). isn't one of all those vaccins the one against the normal flu? And doesn't anyone even slightly healthy survive the flu itself?orc33 said:
Well, I don't know it's mandatory you get shots in america, but here I got a lot... Is this some sort of "not tested uber shot with which you'll never be ill again"? I wouldn't want that. I like being ill once in a while.
If you're at risk, take the vaccine.
Does no-one remember the measles vaccine controversy? Irresponsible scare stories about it causing autism (which turned out to be hopelessly wrong, obviously) led to millions of parents not getting it for their children. In the end, many children were hospitalised because of it, some suffered permanent brain damage, and several died.

those are shots for polio and some other once that can be quite horrific and have largely been eliminated by the shots, and among them you usually get a flu shot, but the flu mutates quite easily so you can take a refill for it to be more effectiveTooMiserableToLive said:

The internet has taught me two major lessons in life:
1. The internet has no SHAME or MERCY
2. I'm going to go to HELL for finding things like THIS amusing...

For the final and hopefully last time. Scientists know what they're doing! Also any new medication needs to pass through rigious tests, the scientists would have worked all hours to find a vaccine as theres lots of money in it. The ordinary flu can kill you, i'd drather be in a wheelechair than dead. There may be a few people that have an alergic reaction to one of the componements in the vaccine which is sad yes but millions of people have had the vaccine. One person is ill. Logic states chances of something going wrong is small. If we stopped everything that had one case going wrong then we wouldn't have morphine as i'm allergic to it.
This is like the MMR scare again and now there are children with measles and mumps which can cause nasty side effects such as your brain swelling up and death.

Why does the video skip at 2:02? When he's saying "Doctors say what happened to desiree should (skip's here) discourage people from getting flu shots." Did they intentionally cut this part out, because it sounds to me like it was supposed to say "Shoudn't" or "Should not".
Now-a-days some parents don't have there children vaccinated for fear that there children will become autistic or something of that nature, and because of these parents diseases that where on the verge of eradication are starting to emerge once again... There ignorance is a danger to the community...RossyB said:
Our new mutant strain of the N1H1 has killed around 3000, If the new vaccine killed 25 people the amount of lives it will save will more then make up for it.Vuljatar said:
