This Swine Flu hype was quite a big issue here in Germany too. Fortunately it did not last long and was more a hype then everythings else. Jessy from belstaff jacken team

I agree. It's unbelievable that this "swine" flu is considered worthy of a national emergency and worldwide panic when it's been less dangerous to date than every other yearly flu.

If this is an epidemic or national emergency with the statistics to date then we should be hearing about these scare tactics EVERY year.

You can't blame people from being too extra careful in dealing with this pandemic. Many are afraid and have no clue at all that this could kill.

Why would aborigilnals be in a high risk group,when most of there communites are in remote places.How the virus gets to a remote area is questionable?If anything they should be protected by the remoteness.Yet they were some of the first to get the vaccine,after the body bags.

Dont get your knickers in a knot everyone, the illuminati(reptilian overlords) are just trying to protect your well being and the enviornment and its for the best. The flu shot contains mild birth reduction and obedience components, if you refuse the shot and human population continues to increase they may have to resort to more invasive means. I recommend simply doing as your told…

So if 4800 people could have lived by taking the vaccine, do you not think that it would be worth it? Out of the 2 times you had the flu because you did not get your flu shot, how many other people became sick because of you and how many of those people may have become severly ill or died because of contact with you or any of the many surfaces you touch each day. Yes, I believe we have a choice, it is up to the individual person if they want to get the vaccine, but there are REAL reasons for getting it which doesn't have much to do with whether or not you will survive, but whether or not the people around you will become needlessly ill and die because you feel it is toxic to your system.

I don't know. But(in the big picture) if the big pharma companys eradicated all disease and virus's wouldn't they be going out of business? If some new virus or disease came along then their pockets start bulging again. Sadly, it's all about the money. I wonder how many anti virus companys(for computers)have their own people working for them creating new pc virus's to keep the business going strong.

While it's true the spectrum of diseases in developing countries may be different than in western countries, this is often due to things like ID (eg. malaria etc). With respect to diseases such as cancer, and I'm making a generalization here, the relative "lower prevalence" may be due to mitigating factors such as problems with diagnosis (ie. if there are no physicians, lab tests, CT scanners), someone may die without knowing why.
In addition, while you seem to think 3rd world countries have it so good because they don't "run to the pharmacist", have you any idea what the difference in life expectancy and quality of life is?!! you overstate the state of healthcare in these developing countries.

There is one major problem, though. Not in Canada, but the US for sure. The nasal spray vaccines in the US DO contain live virus. Check it out and you'll see. And these vaccines were given out in public places. If a person so much as sneezes after taking that vaccine, the LIVE virus is spread immediately.

I am a pharmacist with growing concern over the plugging of the H1N1 vaccine by the media/ industry/ medical profession/ government. It is a shame that all of these institutions ignore the damage being done by the ethylmercury that constitutes 50% of the preservative thimerosal, that we as a society have failed to eliminate in the vaccines that we are injecting into the innocent general public.

Here's some common sense – it seems like there are a lot of misconceptions in this comments section.

No, you're not going to die of swine flu. But you will feel god-awful. For anywhere from a few days to several weeks, you won't be able to work or live as usual. There is a risk of having a more serious case as well that requires a short stay in the hospital. Believe me, it's worth it to NOT get swine flu. We pay a premium for a lot of conveniences in our lives (driving, buying coffee at a café, getting takeout..) – swine flu is very very inconvenient. I can say this as I am currently the Designated Chicken Soup Administrator in my swine-flu afflicted family (and I'm probably next in line to get it…)

Not only that, if you get sick, the people you see every day probably will too. Your coworkers, friends, wife/husband or kids, the guy next to you on the bus, the person who uses the elliptical on the gym after you… don't be the Typhoid Mary of your little universe.

Select Dystonia in the symptoms box
Select Season Flu in the Vaccine Products box.
Select ALL States in the States/Territory box.
Then submit.

THIS doctor is LYING

NOT ONLY THAT If you go back and select the Flu Nasal Spray in the products box you will get more results.

In fact, there have been MULTIPLE cases of Dystonia from the flu vaccine.

1154 people have died worldwide from H1N1. That is a 1 in a 8,000,000 chance of dying from H1N1. Why are billions of dollars being spent on one vaccine that is for a strain of the flu. People get your headout of the media fear mongering and propaganda and give it a shake. Shake it very hard. Funny how when GlaxoSmithKline missed the boat on Gardisal, which was to be the biggest vaccination campaign since polio, did they seize the opportunity to jump on the H1N1 campaign in order to make back the millions they lost out on. Between Merck Frosst Canada and GlaxoSmithKline the word recession really has no meaning. When times are tough create fear among the masses. .

how to decide….no idea… but have been reading many stories on the Gulf War Syndrome & how this shot in the arm has the same ingredient that is believed to have caused the GWS…..
in 1976 the USA began giving people shots for a Virus, similar to H1N1 and stopped after just 10 days, because of what they learned. …
are we all just trial cases, no one really knows,…..
are all our health care providers going to come down with GBS (which was the result of GWS, that attacks the underlying nerve system) & not be able to treat those of us that didn't get the shot, who knows…..
it is all like a Ripley's Believe it or not….

Not everyone needs the flu shot, see research. Some people should not get it–contains mercury which is cumulative and very slow to leave the body, and formaldehyde to which some people are intolerant or allergic. Not all alternative health care modalities are quackery —eg 5000 years or more of Chinese medicine, Homeopathy. Hard to research because entirely different paradigms.
Interesting question, what is the role of big pharma and the media in producing pandemic panic ?

1- Never trust FOX news

2- Never trust any M.D. who is also on advisory board of an investment bank. Healthcare and monetary profit is something that should never be associated.

3- Listen very closely to how she responds to the question. Even she cannot deny side effect from vaccination. And when she was asked to elaborate, she cannot give a direct answer

4- Her reasoning for getting the vaccine sound just so convincing. Quote “Does it feel good to have the flu?” she asks, “Do you like staying home in bed for two days feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck?”.

I must say I take exception to your characterization of me. I am generous, well-educated, and definitely better-informed than at least 90% of the population on most subjects, and certainly this one. While you and others are taking our governments at their word (that's worked out well over the past couple centuries eh?) I prefer to do my own research and rely on my own judgment, especially when someone is asking me to inject something into my body. As far as staying home goes, the majority of Canadians and over 3/4 of Europeans have stated they will not be getting this vaccine. Sorry to sound insenstive, but I think we outnumber the chemo patients.

And once and for all THE H1N1 "PANDEMIC" HAS A MUCH LOWER DEATH RATE THE THE REGULAR SEASONAL FLU.
