Would you take a swine flu vaccination?

If your government were to offer such a thing would you take it? Please state why your choice is as it is.

For me the answer is no to all options, because I am not in a caatagory at risk. The data coming back is that Swine flu is (in the UK) only expected to kill the same number as regular flu would have anyway.

Offer? Pfff. The United States government and many other governments around the world are trying to make it a requirement. I refuse to take any flu shot vaccine because I know what is in them. You stick me with it, I'll stab you in the heart with it.

I would, if administered by a voluptuous, curvaceous lassie.

Absolutely not. Quite frankly its like any other kind of flu. However when I'm in one of the high risk categories I might consider flu shots, but even then it seems like a huge waste of time and money.

We've had the terrible Mad Cow, Bird Flu and now Swine Flu, maybe after we have dog, cat and snake flu then I might consider getting a vaccination.

I probably will as I am generally very prone to colds & flu viruses and most of the winter I am sniffy and feeling under the weather.
So I guess it won't hurt me to be better equipped this time...

I can't remember when last I was ill. My immune system is probably good enough to ward this off on its own.

No. For just the same reason that I won't stop driving a car. Or flying. Or going to a bar. Or walking in the streets for that matter.

How many it has now killed, globally? Hundreds? Thousands?
NOOOOO!! We're all going to die!!!

Thanks for the video VA. Believe me I'm well aware. One of the big reasons I got into natural medicine. Its even more frustrating for me when the people in the Natural Health arena pull the same shit. Scare tactics and bullshitters looking to make money.

In a semi off topic statement. I just gave my mother an herbal regiment for her Thyroid problem. The pills they were going to give her would have been something she would have to be on for the rest of her life. Her next blood test is in October. I'm hoping that I can get it under control before that.

If I got swine flu then it would very unlikely kill me or do anymore then set me back for a few days. That means there is no point getting a vaccination against it. There's no point in unneccesarily vaccinating or taking any sort of medication. It just means your immune system gets lazy. I like to keep mine busy with seasonal colds and flus and living in a damp moldy room
