What, specifically, do you fear about the H1N1 vaccine?

What makes you choose one vax over another?

Folks keep saying this vax has been 'rushed', but I can't fnd anything that shows this how this vax has been rushed any more than any other yearly flu vax. I can't find any links about that.

We stopped 2 years ago when my son received his flu shot and within 5 days was having febrile seizures that were leaving him unconscious for up to 30 minutes at a time.

The first one was in the bathtub. My husband thought he was dead. It was terrifying.

Now my doctor will tell you that the seasonal flu shot was not the "cause" of my son's high fever and febrile seizures, but I find that hard to believe considering he never showed any other signs of illness. Oddly enough the doctor made a notation on his chart, "Just in case it happens again."

Anyway, in the past two years we've tended to be healthier without the flu shot. That's saying a lot considering my husband is a public school teacher and exposed to junk every day.

We are passing on the H1N1 vaccine. I think it would be better for my children to get the flu and develop their own immunity to it. Actually I think we all have it right now.

They tested blood samples they had from 1918 flu survivors and found that it contained higher immunities to this new flu strain. I imagine the same would hold true for those who develop their own immunity to this H1N1. It will hopefully provide them with long term benefits.

I like what i am reading about D3 and can get with that.

But

Mercola??!!

Those links do not answer the OP question at all.

Personally, I am looking for science, not ignorance or propaganda.

Swine Flu of 1976

This is a good thread, but I keep reading all these flu threads and am still unsure about the H1N1 vax. We do seasonal flu vax because we have a child in our home who is high risk, as are my elderly in-laws, etc. But we also do all the other vax. (I know, I feel like I am in the minority on that)

I'd like to just wait a while to see what kinds of reactions come from from the H1N1 vax when it's available, but for all I know there will be such a rush on it that if we did want to get it we wouldn't be able to. As it is the reg seasonal flu vax is all but sold out locally. Almost no doc offices still have it.

Confused I am.

Ignorance and propaganda is what we don't want. People want research, people want to be given ways to care for themselves without the need of injecting themselves with something that hasn't been researched for more than a few weeks (if even). Government officials, these makers of the vaccine, are trying to scare people into taking a vaccine that hasn't been tested. Things are being blown out of proportion over this so-called 'swine-flu'. Our government wants us to trust them, blindly follow them, and believe in something that health officials themselves are cautioning us to avoid. How can we trust something that has such an awful history? A history that no one denies and that caused the government to suspend the program in 1976, not long after it started, after many injuries (including Guillain-Barre syndrome) and death.

www.glennbeckclips.com scroll down to H1N1 Preparations Pros/Cons and click on the video. Two doctors, one pro/one con discuss the vaccine.

Perplexing and sad? Really? Have you read up on vaccinations? You are injecting a foreign chemical into your child's body. I think it's a bit far fetched to deem it as sad. Don't we all do what we think is best for our childrens lives? While we choose not to vaccinate, I would never tell another parent that it is sad if they choose to vaccinate. I would hope that they have done their research though, before injecting a foreign chemical.

I hope/plan to have my family vaccinated against this flu. I don't ordinarily vaccinate against seasonal flu, but this is an extraordinary year.

I will go to great lengths to get mercury-free versions. Our physician has always used mercury-free vaccines with my son.

I don't "buy" the discredited autism/mercury connection. But mercury is clearly not good for one in any amount. If we can't get a mercury-free version, I'll probably take our chances. But the risk seems high, so I'm planning on vaccinating.

And, yes I believe it will work since it's based on H1N1 and not a guess about this years "seasonal flu."
