In a nutshell..it's been rushed to get a vaccine and big pharma had no time to do the "normal" testing of it. Because of that the government has granted them immunity from ANY lawsuits resulting from possible bad side effects.
that makes sense! well, maybe i'll think about it.
but i had a flu that knocked me on my arse and it turned into pneumonia.
i refuse to go through that ordeal again. i'm a little freaked...
Last I heard was there will not be enough to go around initially anyway. They are urging pregnant women to get it as well as children. In the children that have gotten the flu, it appears the majority of fatalies have been in those over 5. People over 60 as said above appear to have more of a tolerance and are not specifically urged to get it as they are with the regular flu shot.
If you want one and can get it, go ahead. If you don't, don't. And if they try and pass a law forcing people, don't worry. The ACLU will file a lawsuit on behalf of those who don't want one.
I personally am wary of it because I remember the first swine flue back in the 70's. The shot they came up with then did far more harm than good. I realize they have come along way in science since then, but they had to come up with this so fast, it still worries me.
If you are suffering from the ugly germ, Bactene is for YOU.
