Should I get the H1N1 vaccination when it becomes available in my country? It will become widely available here soon.How safe is it really?

I don`t think there is a right answer for this. We will only be seeing the effects in the long term, and then it will be too late. Think about why you want to get it.Do you have a chronic illness?

Do you work in healthcare? Etc.. Most people in those categories want to ensure they do not get sick because they are more likely to get the flu and/or have serious consquences which could lead to death. The usual flu kills hundreds of thousands a year yet the swine flu has only killed a few thousand.

Many people have recovered from it like any other flu. I personally think it has been hyped up to the point where people are so afraid that they will go against their own ideas and values, which just shows how easily mass hysteria can have effect. Noone can say which will be more fatal, getting the vaccine and dying from it, or not getting it and dying from the flu.

There are cases of both and they will continue. Now I am personally not getting the flu shot because It doesn`t gel with me. I think it is impossible to perfect a vaccine in a few months and it is sad that it is administered to the whole population when its long term side effects have not been determined.

If everything thing goes awry and people start dying in 6 months and up, it will be too late. I watched these videos and I think they are pretty interesting. youtube.com/watch?v=61ySNSQTR-Q.

The issue is not the immediate side effects of talking the vcaccine. The danger is in the preservative thiomerisol which contains mercury, mercury is not something that usually reacts immediatly in the body. Mercury toxicity is a cummulative effect, so if you are a person who eats fish regularly and gets flu vaccines every year and has mercury fillings in your mouth than you will develop mercury toxicity sooner than someone who has not done all that.

You are not going to get any useful responses by asking if anyone has had a reaction to the vaccine. There are generally very minimal reactions immediatly to a vaccine. There is always the ongoing debate about the link of thiomerisol to autism, this debate keeps going back and forth with no conclusive evidence on either side yet.

The h1n1 flu is actuall killing less people than the normal flu does, you are not at a greater risk this year than any other year, it is a hyped up vaccine that pharmacuetical companies were hoping would be much worse so they produced a lot ov vaccine and arenow trying to create a huge demand for it by limiting its distribution which seems to be a very effective approach. The usual testing for this vaccine was not done as the swine flu was falsley elevated to a "pandemic" status. When we are in pandemic status companies can bypass the usual round of testing for safety, the truth is it is never the same flu strain so it needs top be tested every single year.

I would not risk it, eat healthy keep your immune system in shape and you will not get it.

H1N1 Vaccination is created the same way as other flu vaccinations. They couldn't put it in the regular flu dose because it was not ready yet. news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_artic....

Here are some related Q&A's on this topic. mahalo.com/answers/from-twitter/disturbi... mahalo.com/answers/health/do-you-think-h... mahalo.com/answers/public-health-concern... mahalo.com/answers/science/is-there-a-di... After reading the above I believe you'll have the information you're seeking.

The vaccine in 1976 was highly untested. It was administered out of a panic. Back then, people didn't regularly receive flu shots the way they do today.

Since the mid-1990s, the technology has been pretty stable. But you could argue that we are still in a panic. Even though the normal flu and H1N1 affect different populations, the number of deaths are still the same.

From personal experience, I have only had a normal flu shot. The only side effect was a sore arm for a couple of days. However, I eventually did up getting a completely new strain of flu not contained in the shot.

I realize the new strain experience I had may not apply to the H1N1 shot, but I personally will not receive it. However, if I do start feeling any symptoms, I will seek treatment immediately. So you have to ask yourself...do the fears outweigh the benefits?

Do you have other health problems? Will you need severe medical care if you are infected? If you choose not to receive the vaccine, will you be vigilant about symptoms?

Do you have access to proper care? It's a personal decision, what's right for some people may not be right for you. Whatever you decide, don't take this decision lightly.

The situation is going to change in a good way,Even now looks like all this problem can cause so much trouble. Now my advice is simple. Do you consider that can help you ,then do it.In order to stay healthy ,having access to it ..i suppose it's a good idea to use it.

Have a try. Now have a look at it. youtube.com/watch?v=NkLCw5GFn5A and youtube.com/watch?v=Ucovhf6IDZc and the link under simply the best , I think ... And good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
