"One must keep in mind that once the vaccine is injected, there is little you can do to protect yourself—at least by conventional medicine. It will mean a lifetime of crippling illness and early death.

There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement using supplements, and a good diet."

And always remember what your mother used to say, "WASH YOUR HANDS!"

I have no intention of getting this vaccine.

More than 20 years ago a friend of our family got a flu shot and soon after started developing numbness in his legs, which eventually progressed to paralysis extending up to his mid-chest. He was receiving treatment from the VA hospital and doctors who, for the longest time, would not say there was any correlation to his problems and the flu vaccine, even though he suspected it right away (they eventually told him it was either a bad batch of vaccine or he just had an adverse reaction to it). He was eventually confined to a wheel chair till his death.

I decided right then and there that I would never get any flu shot and neither has my wife or our children. Guess what? None of us have ever got the flu either (praise the Lord!). We still get a cold or allergy problems once in a while, but we try to eat right, wash our hands often when the flu is going around, and take general precautions, and so far it has worked.

I never felt that a vaccine made from last year's flu strain was any sure proof against the current year's flu anyway, so I am not willing to take the chance of being injected with a tainted vaccine. I'd rather deal with the flu (on the off-chance I would even get it). I just don't trust flu shots.

"Where the hell it got all these genes from we don’t know.” Extensive analysis of the virus found that it contained the original 1918 H1N1 flu virus, the avian flu virus (bird flu), and two new H3N2 virus genes from Eurasia. Debate continues over the possibility that swine flu is a genetically engineered virus.

Nuff said.

Crap.

Unlike a lot of other people, Russell Blaylock seems to be a credible voice.

So we’re basically between a rock and a hard place. You have to weigh whether you think the swine flu is more dangerous, or whether you think the vaccine is more dangerous.

I have had one flu shot in my life and that was the only year that I have gotten the flu. I felt like death warmed over, I told my husband that I was going to lay down and for him to check on me in an hour to see if I was still alive. He woke me later and I had a temp of just over 104 degrees. He spent the day with me trying to get the temp down, at one point carrying me up the stairs to put me in a tub of cool water. I barely remember those 2 days, I am lucky I didn’t have lasting effects from it.

I do however worry about one of my sons. He has allergies and asthma and will catch any bug within 50 miles. Not sure where he got them, neither my husbands family or mine have any allergies or asthma history. None of the other 5 hardly get even the sniffles.

I lived through many flu outbreaks over the last 60 years...got a bug...lived through it..no big deal...

then 10 years ago my company gave us free flu shots....

thanks to the shot I have guillain barre syndrome and am a near cripple for 10 years.

no more vaccines for me or my family unless its for a life threatening immediate outbreak.

FTA: “Baxter had released a seasonal flu vaccine containing the bird flu virus, which would have produced a real world pandemic, to 18 countries. Fortunately, astute lab workers in the Czech Republic discovered the deadly combination and blew the whistle before a worldwide disaster was unleashed.”

Damn.

FTA: “Despite these two deadly events, WHO maintains an agreement with Baxter Pharmaceuticals to produce the world’s pandemic vaccine.”

Super mega damn.

And then you hear people just get the flu anyway. I’ll take my chances with the flu.

I found an article regarding lavender oil, three drops rubbed into each foot. Apparently years ago when the bubonic plague killed so many in Europe, one city where they manufactured lavender oil, nobody got sick. I’m going to get some and rub it on my hands as well. I wash my hands a lot.

Makes one wonder, especially regarding the nasal spray with the live virus, if this isn’t deliberate to spread the flu widely.

If so, it may be only for profit motives - many in DC, including the obamamama, bought early stock in the vaccine, even before it was developed. The more that’s used, the more money for the stockholders.
