As far as the Umbrella corporation making the vaccine, LOL. How's this? Maybe I'll head out to Colorado with the rest of the non vaccinated survivors while Obama's people head for Las Vegas just like in "The Stand."
Please don't come here if you're not going to get immunized. We have enough "home grown" objectors to make things dicey.

Sure, good handwashing is always an important infection control method, but it's not going to prevent most cases of the flu. College age people are at high risk b/c they are in classrooms full of people coughing, and live in dorms or apts with numerous people who are doing the same.
getting a flu shot might not protect you from the flu.

Better hurry up and get your shot, sweetie!

The first article was written by a chemist and is one of those things, like Michael Moore's movies, that is technically true, but really isn't. She talks about how it "might" work, etc, but the fact is that in most cases it does work and even if you get the flu, you often get a lighter case.

Swine flu vaccine has not yet been released.

When the first 'Swine' flu hit, thousands lined up for their shot, and hundreds either died or suffered lif changing disabilities as the result - how many died from 'Swine Flu'? - 1 person.

This whole H1N1 thing is nothing but fear mongering. In the next 12 months I doubt more than 250,000 Americans will become infected. The media seems to think 250,000,000 Americans will become infected.

Hmm... 1/3 of all nurses interviewed say that they will not take the shot because it is too dangerous, and scientists who worked on the vaccine refuse to take it - sounds like something you really want to give to your kids, right?

hmmm ... have any of you read this article about the swine flu?
Journalist Files Charges against WHO and UN for Bioterrorism and Intent to Commit Mass Murder (http://www.naturalnews.com/026503_pandemic_swine_flu_bioterrorism.html - broken link)

BTW ... the info in it about Baxter Labs is true. See the Google link:
baxter labs scandals - Google Search

My family isn't planning to take the shot either. Knowing that Baxter Labs is involved and how inept they are, I'm not willing to risk my life or children's lives over it.

If you wear an H1N1 mask, cover your mouth/nose when you sneeze, cover your mouth when you cough, and wash your hands when necessary, and take vitamin C -- you can avoid getting sick and/or spreading it to others.

A lot of this is just plain common sense. People seem to have a real lack of manners when they're out in public, sick. They hack all over, spit and wheeze, it's no wonder so many people are catching it.
