I went to Wisp on my birthday last year.....in the rain hahaha and I take day trips up to Liberty occasionally. But I'm going up to Seven Springs the last weekend of January and I'm stoked to go on that trip.



Brit didn't have any flu. They did a test and it was NEG! LIAR!!!! Plus a flushot doesn't guarantee you won't get the flu.

Chen

She said she did on friday or saturday or something like that.

So if the flu shot some sort of way the CDC raises money? They inject us with a very very outdated dose of the influenza and hope we don't get sick? Or is it like the placebo effect on our brains? We get a shot and think we're immune from getting sick? Same with the H1N1 vaccine, they just label it H1N1 vaccine when its just a regular flu shot?

I think its neither. Vaccines are not a "cure all" The h1n1 is made the same exact way as the regular one (which is updated every year but there is some guess work as to which strain will be prevalent).

It is my opinion that H1N1 is a way for the CDC to gauge its responsiveness against a pandemic. Thats why the publicity surrounding it is so high

OMG stop you scientist. I have no idea what you're talking about...

Chen

Ok so the H1n1 vaccine is just another "regular" dose of the influenza vaccine. It does not protect us from the H1n1 virus. The CDC says it is the vaccine for the h1n1 when its really not. It is just to put people at ease since everyone was/is going apeshit about it.

From what i've heard the "swine flu" did not originate from a pig/swine. It came from humans. There were some children or a kid with the flu and he was playing with some pigs in their pens and some how passed it to the pig and from there on it mutated.

No H1N1 is specifically made to combat the current/most common form of H1N1. The regular flu is specifically made to combat the most current/common form of regular flu. So H1N1 will work. You really dont need to get it unless you are in the high risk groups. Most people get swine flu and dont even know they have it.

Flu vaccines are made in fertilized eggs. They have huge chicken farms where tons of eggs are fertilized and raised. The eggs are then infected with the whatever flu you want. It could be flu virus A or b or H1N1 whichever you want. After the virus starts to reproduce itself over and over you can make vaccine from the eggs, basically purifying it. 1 egg per one injected dose. I thinks its like 1 egg gives you 10 nasal sprays but that takes longer to make. This is also why you need to be careful if you are allergic to eggs. The reason it took a while is the drug companies where in full production of the current seasonal flu. They had to change over production and wait for the eggs to get to the right gestation period, i think like ten weeks. The H1N! is made the same way as all the other flu vaccines have been made. Thats why it was available so "quickly")

They are reasearching making the vaccine in Dog kidney cells now. Less time (you dont have to wait for eggs to grow) and less people will be allergic to it (pure vaccine no egg bi products. FDA trials are going on now I believe

I have both the H1N1 and the regular soo hopefully Ill be ok lol

Chen

What i'm saying is what if the h1n1 vaccine is not actually a vaccine to combat the most common form of h1n1. What if the vaccine is just the vaccine for flu virus A and they peel off the label and stick on a label for h1n1. the companies making the vaccine would basically say "hey i have the h1n1 vaccine" but you're actually just getting the typical flu shot that will protect you from the common flu and not the h1n1 strand.

lol yall are crazy

then why would they give it away free??? it would just be one big waste of money

Jgrizzle

iTrader: (7)

They arent giving it away for free. You already paid for it with tax dollars. The gov't bought it all to give to the public. When things like this are purchased (chemicals, drugs, vaccines) are purchased by the govt they are required to go through quality control measures that are put in place by the govt. So its possible to just be getting the "wrong one" but its just as easy to make "right one"
