Nope, never, not in a lifetime, maybe, yeah, ofcourse, tomorrow, today! That is what you generally hear when you ask someone if they are getting the SWINEFLU vaccine. Yes, SWINEFLU is written with capital letters, this to make you afraid. The general media seems to want you to think that if you dont take the vaccine, YOU WILL DIE! Me on the other hand, will not take the vaccine. First of all, I already had the SWINEFLU, so I am probably immune. Secondly I will here make some points on why you shouldnt get two to the arm.
- My local pharmacist actually told me (when i had the SWINEFLU) that I shouldnt worry about the SWINEFLU, but worry more about the media coverage and the vaccine (untested as it will be) coming later this fall
- Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo Smith-Kline etc are making billions on this, seems a bit too convenient in this economic climate
- Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo Smith-Kline etc have received FULL immunity of side effects from most countries, should mass side effects occur. This to secure early (untested) vaccines to our protection?
- 10-20 People have died in Sweden of SWINEFLU… Each year over 3000 people die (in sweden alone) of the regular flu
- The vaccine contains trace amounts of Mercury, nuff said.
- Adjuvants… A growing number of adverse side effects has been reported which is possibly linked to adjuvant use in vaccines.
- Guillain–Barré syndrome as a rare side effect.. Google it
- How come they didnt include this vaccine in the regular influenza vaccine? You know there are like 4-5 different influenzas included in this vaccine. Oh i forgot, more money!
To me it seems that the risk of getting complications from SWINEFLU is far less the risk of complications of the vaccine. If you are in a risk group on the other hand, the odds are different, so you probably should get vaccinated. Anyway, seems you are more likely to die in a car accident than of this media hyped SWINEFLU.
