All that article says is that Obama wants to streamline the paperwork for people who are sick with swine flu to get faster treatment when they go to the hospital, instead of sitting around in the waiting room infecting everyone else.

It would be nice if they had enough vaccine for the people who want it. I'd have my kids vaccinated already, if it was available.

I think the whole H1N1 thing is a scam cooked up to make money for Pharma and whittle  away a few more of our civil liberties. Declaring a "national emergency" is just the beginning.Mark my words-this will not end well. I just don't trust these greedy rat bastards one bit.

I do know a few. Some are plausible.Many are beyond ridiculous.
I think that the persuit of self interest on the part of the wealthy and powerful,without regard for the consequences to the rest of us,fully explains most of the horrific bullshit that goes on in the world.

i dunno, if there's anything being covered up, I'm pretty sure it is something completely different that will be drowned out by the screaming hordres of paranoid conspiracy nuts, fundies and whoever was yelling death panels before cause surely obama is trying to kill our children this time.

in the mean time while everybody is looking the other way a bunch of banks will clean out and slurp up the last bits of bailouts, or some far away country will be invaded to please the big corps and Xe/Blackwater or anything you name it.

and yeah they'll take more of your liberties away, like they ever stopped doing that.

but it won't be the vaccins.

who the fuck cares about the vaccins? i mean, you get a flu shot. boo hoo. big fucking deal.

H1N1 is not a made-up flu.  It's not being spread so that the pharmaceutical companies can make big monies.  Especially since it's only the government who's buying it here in the US, not the private medical sector.  A BETTER conspiracy theory would be to say the government is spreading it intentionally to CONTROL the populace, in its never-ending pursuit of controlling health care entirely.  Because it's the government who is releasing it to the clinics and hospitals, as well as giving out the guidelines on who is getting the vacc and who isn't at this point.

Seems I'll be getting it today, along with my kids, per my husband's suggestion since his clinic just got some from the county.

your baby brother really died because of a flu shot? sorry to hear that. i can imagine you're worried about mandatory flu shots then.

and that news article, what about it? except that it's related to bio research on strains of flu, what's it got to do with the topic? (also, did you check out the kind of paper Toronto Sun is?)

The article mentions that Baxter, a major manufacturer of vaccines used in the US, "accidentally" distributed material containing live avian flu virus to be included in the experimental phase of manufacturing some new vaccine. I find this disturbing. Here in the US, some hospitals and public health departments are already mandating H1N1 vaccination for health care workers,which I happen to be. There's a very good chance that any vaccine you receive will be made by Baxter, who, thanks to the PREP Act, is immune to litigation if one of their "experimental" H1N1 vaccines happens to kill or disable you. I find this disturbing as well. If these fucking idiots don't even know what's in their vaccine, then I should be able to sue them if it fucks me up.

No,I didn't research the Toronto Sun prior to posting the link. I Googled "Baxter bird flu accident" and snagged the first source that I found. I have since checked it out  and the general consensus seems to be that it sucks a little more than Fox News-so my apologies for inflicting you with it.

No. My baby brother didn't die from getting a flu shot. That was a complete fabrication. He was crushed to death in our driveway by my coked-up asshat of a stepfather.

Oh pish.  You go away based on this thread?  You got nuffin' when it came to argument.  Fer chrissakes.

I heard there were many in the health profession that were against being made to get the vaccine.  And I know why--it's the proliferation and the possibility of the added virulences.  Since it's a virus that has few antibodies in the young and can, as any flu does, cripple and expire the old, there's an added fury to the fire in getting it "contained."

But the fact that it hasn't added the virulent strains yet, even though it's shown to be quickly proliferate, gives a lot of people hope that it won't, indeed, do so.

Nevertheless, the pain and suffering I watch my 9 year old go through when he gets one of the simpler viruses is enough to make me get double-vacc'd, along with my pediatrician husband and my other child, so that we can spare my immuno-compromised mate (he almost died of aplastic anemia 2 years ago), my asthmatic son and my other son and I will have a better chance of not being miserable.

You can't have lurked long if you think there are going to be those of us WITHOUT arguments of some reasoning on shit like this.

Title: Re: Aaaaaaaaand They're Off!
Post by: Cain on October 27, 2009, 09:35:47 AM
Personally, I like flu shots.

But then I was an asthmatic and the last time I caught the flu it took me over three weeks to recover to the point I could actually get out of bed and walk around without wanting to take a bucket-load of painkillers.  Every time since, when I qualified for a jab I took it, and, surprise, I didn't lose the best part of a month to disease.

Now, I have doubts about H1N1 vaccine because

a) it hasn't been sufficiently tested for my liking
b) the rush on production is apparently causing mistakes at labs who are under pressure to produce as much as possible
c) in Germany at least, the vaccine most people is getting looks to be cheaper and riskier than the one more privileged individuals, such as those in government, are recieving, because of the presence of immunological adjuvants (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunologic_adjuvant) used to lower the cost.  Some medical experts suggest this is not suitable for young children or pregnant mothers, two target groups for vaccination, due to this.

That said, I still think getting a decent, working vaccine on those in critical services and the most at risk is necessary.  It's just some of the companies who are doing it are, well, pharaceutical companies, and you know how they are by now...

The nasal spray is a live virus--so anyone who gets it needs to not be immuno-compromised, already sick, or the more vulnerable part of the population.  The shot is the dead virus, so it's safer.

I got it yesterday afternoon, and I felt a twinge in the arm late last night before going to bed, and that was it.  The regular flu shot gave me a stiff, sore arm for at least a day and a half.  With this one, I was sleeping on the actual side it was given last night.  *shrug*  But then, like I said elsewhere, I don't have reactions to flu shots really, just where the shot was given some residual soreness, and that's with EVERY shot I get.

Sooo... "material" containing the live vaccine accidentally went out in the packages for experimental manufacturing. And this is a threat to public health how? It's not like this material wouldn't have been (as it, indeed, was) discovered.

No, it was a couple things. I remember one of them was Cram's parody of type one diabetes as an insulin addiction, which I raged against not knowing it was a parody. Suu also raged against something else in the same manner.
