The United States of Esoterica

Just saw some news footage of folks in Oklahoma waiting more than an hour for the pregnant women and children to get shots at some big center.


news footage said California has received 836,900 vaccine doses (source was CDC).

Michigan got 151,200
Okla 65,200
Ohio 203,500
Georgia 204,700.
(those were the only states listed)


Is anyone gung-ho about getting their vaccine?

Not to keen on injecting things into my body. If it kills me it kills me.

The whole H1N1 hysteria is something that should be examined very closely. There's no reason to believe it's a shred more deadly than normal flu, and lots of evidence that it isn't even as deadly at that. People losing their damn minds over this just prove how controlled by fear we are as a population. It's pathetic.

I don't trust vaccines. The only time I ever got a flu vaccine (1992) is the only time I have ever gotten the flu.

My dad had the same thing happen to him. He'd never once in his life had the flu and took the vaccine on the reccomendation of his doctor. First and only time he ever got it.

My doctor is recommending I get both the flu shot and the H1N1 vaccine due to my health problems. I'm open to the flu shot, but I still wont touch that H1N1 vaccine with a 10 foot pole.

I might get a cold shot if one was ever invented. I hate getting colds. But I haven't been sick in a long time, since I started eating pumpkin spice muffins in the fall and drinking hot cider in the winter.

Never took a vaccine, never will. Call me stupid, but I believe in getting sick once in a while since it actually builds your immune system.

And all of these doomsday flues over the past few years just reek of drug company manipulation for profit, especially when they send out doses with live virus in them...

My brother has the swine flu. He has a 105 degree fever and is in the hospital.

Sorry to hear that. Hope he gets better soon.

Just curious, do you know if he got a flu shot?

Fazer,

Hope your brother gets out of the hospital soon.

My dad, his sister and his brother all got the Polio vaccine. That night, they all got Polio. His brother died from it. Oops, bad dose, so sorry...

I just heard my brother is getting out of the hospital today, but the virus was weird. It attacked his leg and he has a staff infection, so he will be on antibiotics for 2 weeks. He said he didn't get the flu shot.
Thanks for the concern.

I have never had a flu shot and have only had the flu once in my adult life. I think being cautious and washing your hands frequently is a better answer than the shot.

I never got any flu shots and never will. I haven't had the flue in a long time. I think in the next few years there will be all kinds of excuses to get an injection, this will be pharmas new meal ticket.

This should tell everyone not to get the H1N1 shots.
