Messed up by N1H1 vaccine?

[SFRT - Frenchy]

Anyone eard about that? I was wondering if it was a fake news report, sadly I fear not. Very saddening to see this poor gal struggling like that

Wow that is really saddening.

Interesting that it didn't mention any medical connection, just that she came down with the disease 10 days later, yet they quite clearly crucified the vaccine as the cause of her affliction.

 "Desiree Jennings thought it would be a good idea to get the seasonal flu shot. Her job offered incentives for it, and she didn't want to get sick."

seasonal flu shot - not N1H1

Yep.

There is always a chance that you will have a reaction to the flu vaccine.

Thing is that that vacine has been used for years and the Swine Flu vacine is brand new. Makes you wonder how many side effects will come out when everyone starts taking it since it was rushed out.

the swine flu  vaccine is the regular vaccine, they just tweaked it for a specific kind of flu...same as they do every year.

I think the fear of H1N1 is rather irrational given that it has killed far fewer than previous flu seasons and does not appear to be accelerating.

Again, it's not the number it's killing but WHO it is killing...those being healthy young people in their mid 20's and 30's.  It isn't killing the older people and those that are immuno-compromised already, because they've already been exposed to the base genetics of this bug.  (generally accepted to be the 1975 H1)

I caught and was clinically diagnosed with H1N1, but barely developed any symptoms.  I suspect that is probably due to being exposed to the virus while a fetus, to which my doctor also agrees.  The person I caught it from was a visiting grad student to the lab I work in.  She's in the hospital on a ventilator, as she was one of the ones susceptible to viral progression into the alveoli. 

Irrational it is not.  If you are younger than 30, I'd suggest vaccination.  Russian roulette with one live round out of a thousand round clip is still russian roulette.

Though, it's mainly killing people with severe health issues, who might've died to a regular influenza just as well.

Regardless, I'm in favor of vaccination, should I get it before the virus gets to me. Unfortunately the government has decided to vaccinate everyone else before those healthy people at their 20's and 30's, who's most susceptible to the virus. It'll be at least a month to go.

first its very important to note that a very SMALL percentage of cases being reported as H1N1 are actually factual....... if you goto the doctor with a common cold it is marked on your chart as "flu like" symptoms...... these cases are ultimately being reported as H1N1

second in regards to the vaccine......... the case cited by the OP is an actual case caused by a flu vaccine..... the difference being that she received a form of the vaccine for the regular flu which contained mercury...... the same type of vaccine which caused a large number of issues in the 70s and has caused issues throughout its useage...... just not in large enough numbers to be a worrysome report.... youre hearing about this one because its on everyones minds so it becomes news

the "new" vaccine was supposed to not contain any mercury....... that is until they realized they werent going to make production quotas and have now allowed the mercury content vaccines to be used for H1N1 as well...... so we will see problems as a result, despite their best assurances

an untested vaccine containing mercury is a problem waiting to happen....... especially since like I said youre being lied to about this being an "epidemic"

Yeah, that's what's got my attention.  There was a story of a healthy teenager in Fort Worth, Texas who would have died if not for the intervention by medical personnel to keep her lungs and air passages open.  She's OK now. 

Three of four of us in this abode caught and recovered from the flu in October.  As of three weeks ago, they were not even testing in Austin for the type of flu you contracted, except at the Dell Children's Hospital, because %98 of those tested returned a positive for the H1N1.

[Chalenge]

So if the flu kills 200000 old people its not so bad but if it kills 1000 young people its a pandemic? Not hardly moray.

I'm not hopping on the alarmist band wagon.  But I won't deny that the interview with the vibrant young lady who only days before was fighting for her life gave me a reason to pause and think.  That's all I'm saying.
