Do you REALLY want to take the H1N1 swine / pig / pork / bacon flu shot?

The photo looks like a botched up cosmetic operation.

We had several pigs that got the flu from people at the State Fair. Apparently people do not catch it from pork or bacon. - don't know where the "swine flu" name came from.

Vaccinations and immunizations are the reason these flus are getting stronger, well actually, people are getting weaker.

Not getting the shot, no one in my family is getting the shot. If you look at the numbers of confirmed cases by state, it's a LOT lower then what the government and CDC is reporting. Why, you ask? They are reporting ALL people who call in sick to work, a hospital or school with suspected swine flu. About 85% of the cases aren't swine flu.

Know anyone retired living in Mexico? I do. They say it was never a big thing down there either but if you watch the news, it devastated the entire country.

When there is no news, the news has a way to create news. It is called:

On CNN they said she had some skin removed. pre-cancerous spot I think. My parents were old school, unless they thought they would have to explain a body - we didn't go to the DR. I'm a bit more cautious with my kids but I have to say that I never get flu shots and I rarely ever get the flu. Maybe 2-3x in the last 15 years or so.

36,000 people in the US die from the normal flu each year. Where's the news? Where's the pandemic?

If it doesn't bleed it doesn't get on the news. Now that is unbiased reporting.

My wife's a nurse and they insisted/forced her to get a shot or actually one of those up the nose things. I myself never get a shot.

I personally think your immune system should be worked out like a muscle. The more you work your immune system the stronger it gets.

Anyone happen to know which ONE company has the license to manufacture Tamiflu (Oseltamivir), the only treatment for swine flu (also bird flu)?

And who chairs that corporation since 1997?

And how much he makes off each shot?
