yes
no
not sure
I'm just wondering where you all stand on vaccines. I'm sure plenty of people get them, but I know plenty of people who are afraid of them, and refuse to get them or have their children vaccinated...they think the government is putting something/things in them to control people somehow (sterilize them? make them weak?). |

Haven't heard of this conspiracy, sounds quite extreme and in need of |
|
I'm hesitant to receive any sort of vaccination if I can avoid it. Especially since all the hype about H1N1. Seems like a scare tactic to get people to accept vaccinations that have questionable scientific backing. |
|
So I had my first OBE the other day... I was completely beside myself!
I put not sure, because that is as close as you have to some. I am against unnecessary vaccines, and trying to limit your exposure to them. |

Swine flu is pretty much propaganda to me. Media even doesn't try to compare new flu kills with the common one (at least here on Brazil). It can be a bit worse and kill more than regular, but not to an extent that is worry-able. |
|
I've gotten flu vaccines as far back as I can remember, and I got the H1N1 vaccine. I never bought into the autism scare because there hasn't been enough hard evidence to back up the claims of groups like Generation Rescue and other anti-vaccine groups. |

Vaccines that prevent very fatal or otherwise damaging diseases are necessary. MMR, hepatitis, tetanus, smallpox, and the like actually kill/disfigure people. Flu? Unless you're one of the types that could die if you walked into a stiff breeze, it shouldn't be necessary. |

I'm very positive to vaccination. There's no doubt it saved many of us from potentially lethal diseases, and if you contract a disease despite being vaccinated, it's most likely much milder than it otherwise would have been (have had Pertussis myself). |

I think vaccines are an amazing thing, and if you ask anyone from a generation or two ago, I'm sure they would agree (save, of course, for the autism nuts). Most younger people (like me) don't know what it was like to worry about diseases like polio, to see their friends die from virulent diseases that have essentially been wiped out thanks to vaccines. |
|
I personally don't take flu vaccines but I don't buy into the "population control" theories. |
|
Actually pretty much all scientists who have commented on it say that it is almost impossible for H1N1 to mutate into something lethal. I can't remember why but it's something to do with how it is structured. Google it lol. |
|
Hehe just got this in my e-mail inbox from Nature. You'll have to subscribe to view the full thing or you could probably find another article about it. |
|
Back when polio was around, the child mortality rate was around 50%. Before that, even higher. The Black Death killed nearly 75% of an entire continent. I'd rather have to deal with a few cases of autism than watch as everyone around me dies. |
|
198.726% of people will not realize that this percentage is impossible given what we are measuring. If you enjoy eating Monterey Jack cheese, put this in your sig and add 3^4i to the percentage listed.
Exactly, it's so blatantly clear that vaccines have helped. But most people alive now never lived through that so they don't know. It should be mandatory for everyone to watch an hour long video of all the diseases in history. A very graphic video. |
|
Eh, I guess I should start getting flu vaccines. After all, I live in an urban setting, and my university is supplying the vaccines for free. |

<3 vaccines. |

It's not about killing, it's about needlessly spreading the flu. Whether or not it will kill someone shouldn't be a thought that floats through one's head when they're infected with H1N1 or ANY disease. What they should focus on is attempting to keep the disease to only themselves and not transmit it to others, who will, in turn, transmit it to even more people. |

Staying at home when your sick, pretty much solves that problem. |

But SO WHAT? Why does it matter if you get the bloody flu? |
|
It matters because not everyone gets better from the flu. 300,000-500,000* people die from the flu across the globe per year. The flu can be very dangerous, and when it's not hard at all to prevent, then why the fuck wouldn't we? |
