The H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine – Is it Safe and Should I Get It?

by admin

Since it first reared its ugly head in the spring, I’ve been tracking the H1N1 pandemic. More recently, I’ve taken interest in the H1N1 vaccine.

I spoke with contacts at the Mayo Clinic, World Health Organization, and the Center for Disease Control, as well as a handful of medical professionals, and asked them the question on the minds of many Americans: Is the vaccine safe?

No one is willing to say at this point, since the vaccine is only now being delivered to cities across the country. There are, however, safety measures you can take if you choose to get vaccinated.

1. It is important to know that the vaccine comes in different forms. One is administered as a nasal spray. This is a new type of delivery system and uses a live virus, rather than a dead virus, which is found in the injectable shot. If you want to get vaccinated, choose the injectable dead virus not the live virus nasal mist. The nasal form of the vaccine is new, and I wouldn’t want to test myself or my child on a novel delivery system of a live virus. The live virus may pose dangers that medical researchers are not yet aware of.

2. Before you vaccinate your kids, get the vaccine yourself. Wait a few days and if there are no serious side effects, then your spouse can be vaccinated. If there are no side effects for mom or dad, there is less of a chance for the kids to have side effects, since your children are your genetic offspring.

Top 5 Reasons Not to Take the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine

by admin

We have all had the pressure from our government, media, and others around us to take the H1N1 flu vaccine. However there is a small but very loud voice that cries out against this vaccine. There are those among us who have had to make the “choice” of either taking the vaccine or losing their job. Others who know of someone that has taken the vaccine and is now mentally or physically handicapped. Yet still others who say that the vaccine actually helped them. We will discuss the top 5 reasons that those who are not afraid to speak out against the majority are saying that the H1N1 flu vaccine is to be avoided at all costs.

First of all, the biggest outcry is that the H1N1 vaccine can cause death. Just search your favorite search engine for “H1N1 vaccine deaths” and you may be horrified of how many pages popped up from credit sources confirming the deaths in Germany, deaths in Sweden, death of children all over the place, etc., etc. Of course the numbers are small, when compared to how many people actually took the vaccine, however, does it matter? Are you willing to be one the few who died just to prevent getting a severe cold? I know I am not. I doubt that there are any of us who would. Government reports indicate that they are aware of the possibility of fatalities with the vaccine.  My only question then is how can the government recommend that people get this flu, knowing this information? Is it really okay for some to die just so the majority can live easier?
