Am I just too stupid to understand why giving a “live virus” as a vaccine is a good thing???? Seems to me that that will only cause a bigger outbreak - Especially with this swine flu business of rushed vaccines.

Disseminating “weakened live virus” in a nasal spray!

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a mutated H1N1 to develope, doesn’t it? Or am I wrong?

It is only dangerous when administered during a full moon while laying down in a pumpkin patch.

This whole thing is a guinea pig situation. And it’s somehow connected to our future Health Care System...

Could it be that the swine flu is a fluke with help?

And talking to Jeff Knight, a communications official with Integris Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City, said “We are encouraging a mandatory (H1N1 and seasonal) vaccination for all our employees.”

Doesn’t anyone use proper English anymore? You cannot “encourage a mandatory” vaccination. It is either mandatory with consequences for non-compliance or it is not. Or, on the other hand, you can strongly encourage vaccinations.

Glenn Beck is dedicating his entire show on Thursday to the Swine Flu vaccine. Should be interesting.

Live viruses have been used in inocculation for hundreds of years. Modern live virus vaccines use either a less virulent related virus (e.g. vaccinia providing immunity for smallpox) or an attenuated (weakened) virus. FluMist uses an attenuated virus which cannot survive in the lungs. The CDC page on FluMist says the probability of transmission is low and unlikely to result in illness.

If you get FluMist, you don't get the real flu, so you won't be coughing and spreading the virus everywhere. Even if I catch the FluMist strain from you, it can't get in my lungs so I won't get the real flu either. We will, however, get immunity against the wild strain.

Other live virus vaccines include MMR, yellow fever, the oral polio vaccine, varicella, and both rotavirus vaccines (1, 2).

Two weeks ago, FOX had a doctor that was talking about the Swine flu vaccine and nasal spray. He warned that the nasal spray was only for adults over the age of 24. Those under 24 should receive the flu vaccine shot. The attenuated virus can cause a mild case of the flu and be contagious even without symptoms, so any adult who lives with children or adults who might be more susceptible to the flu should not use the nasal spray.

What I got out of it is that the nasal spray can actually create carriers of the flu virus. I’ve been thinking that they are giving it to the health care workers first for two reasons, they probably have stronger immunity and even if they get slightly sick, its better than having them get so sick that they can’t work. They don’t really care about them being carriers.

I'm not sure about his radio program. He mentioned the television program on his Fox News show yesterday. He said he's trying to inform people so they can make their own decisions on this.

“They don’t really care about them being carriers [of H1N1}”.

Eva, that is truly horrifying.

If this virus mutates as it moves though populations, just like the original H1N1 did back in 1918, it could be devastating and actually become a serious pandemic.
