Really? What studies would those be?

The idea that flu vaccines are not dangerous is not an opinion, its a fact borne out by years of administration with minimal side effects....

I have also not read anything about 4 doses being required, but then I don't read alternative sites much.

I heard on the news that there would be a total of 3 shots - one seasonal flu, and I guess 2 for the H1N1, if I'm not mistaken.

I have heard about the possibility of 2 doses for H1N1, you are correct.

The poster I was referring to seems to be under the impression that the H1N1 ALONE will be 4 shots....

No. It's ridiculous the number of vaccinations being given. It's terrible on the system.

I would probably not be lining up for all the immunizations, because my child would probably have a significant immunity advantage already over most kids. He would be quite accustomed to eating food picked up off the floor, and gathered from dumpsters, and drinking water from the tap, and eating leftovers with the discolored parts scraped off, and plenty of trips to Mexico eating whatever they eat there. There is a great deal of support for the idea that the more sanitized the environment that kids live in, the less developed their immune system is.

No way.

Ever see the movie, I Am Legend? This from my daughter after seeing a report on the news that they are scrambling to create a vaccine.

Most of the time your posts are so utterly ridiculous "sounding", but they make complete sense

I haven't yet made up my mind, but I suspect that we will have the vaccine.

Considering that I haven't given my son an old flu vaccine, I doubt I will be giving him a new one either.
