A clip from Fox News. A doctor talks about the vaccine and does NOT recommend it.

That DR is out numbered. Most agree that the vaccine is safe.

The clip from FOX even pointed that out... not surprised though, this guy is pretty liberal.

I am a nurse in public health. There are risks to vaccines but you have to weigh the benefits. Yes, thimersol is a preservative in some vaccines, but you get more thimersol (mercury) in a can of tuna or 6mos of breastfeeding than you do in a shot! H1N1 is grown the same as other flu vaccines--here's how it happens. The CDC looks overseas to see exactly what flu strains are hitting (their flus season hits before ours does) and usually takes the top 3 strands and makes a vaccine out of it. The swine flu (H1N1) is no exception. The only reason it wasn't in this seasons regular flu vaccine is it took longer to grow than they thought it would. So this is nothing new, just a particular strain that is highly contagious. As far as Gardisil it's currently licensed for only up to 26 yr. olds and when it comes into my age category don't think I won't take it. Cervical/uterine/vaginal cancer is so scary for women because you don't usually have any symptoms until it has grown so big it's usually spread to other parts of the body by the time it causes any problems for you bring to your Dr.'s attention.
Finally, the swine flu vaccine wasn't made out of thin air quickly---they know how to isolate and grow flu strains cause that's what they do every year.
They recommended the vaccine from 6mos-24yrs., pregnant/breastfeeding women. Ages 25yr-64yr get it with a medical condition, if they're a healthcare worker, or are a caregiver of an infant <6mos. People 64 and over will be the last to get it because they were around during the last swine flu outbreak and are believed to have residual immunity from it.

That doctor is not an immunologist...he's a endocronoligist...he's not an expert on vaccines at all

.

What he actually says is that if you react neurologically to theromisil vaccines don't get the h1n1 shot....that's not anything new that we don't already know.

He also talks about how the vaccine will have squalene it it...which it doesn't. and he fails to mention you can get the h1n1 vaccine without the theromisil.....just like with the regular flu.

I don't think I'll be getting the vaccine yet. And I think I'll have my kids opt out too. We pump plenty of other vaccines into them. Since the odds of them getting a serious case of the Swine flu is probably only slightly higher than the odds of them having a reaction to a vaccine, I'm not going to bother. I think the "epidemic" proportions of this thing are getting blown up by the media. And I think politicians are jumping on the band wagon too much with it for my comfort. It just doesn't sit well with me. I think I'll wait have it injected into my kid's veins till the hoopla blows over and we see more evidence of its real worth.
