I won't have this flu vaccination the same as when the Big Boss at my work comes around at winter with a needle seeing if anyone wants a flu jab I turn it down too.

For one, I'm not partuclarly fond of injections, not scared or feel they are painful or anything, just not keen to get them done.

Secondly, I like to keep my immune system on it's toes Smile

And thirdly I don't buy in to the "OMZGZ!ONE!11 da nuw swine fluz iz deadleez" apocolyptic prophecy shite. A few people will croak it, same as every year. Then everyone will forget about it, and the papers will have to come up with a new super mega ultra version 9.4 virus for people to cry about.

And lastly, I've been in contact with at least 4 people who have had confirmed swine flu and I'm doing just dandy so I figure I'll be reet.

I expect that I'll be 'actively encouraged' to do so. Not having it would probably be seen as gross misconduct and deliberate (and preventable) risk to my health.

Joy!

On the 1 O'Clock news a guy just said that many people may have already had it but just didn't know. The seriousness of the virus has definitely been over exaggerated. I'm undecided.

Nope, not gonna bother. It's flu, dressed up by the media as AIDS.

Currently swine flu isn't even making my top 10 things to scared of so I'll probably pass...

We did get a scary internal (NHS) email about a 'movement to treatment phase' all very ominous...

Obvously we're all doomed...

Just not by this...

Thumbs Up

Dunno. I work in a respiratory hospital, and they're still only at the stage of sending updates to staff about how to deal with vulnerable patients, rather than telling us we have to all get injections to stop ourselves from getting it.

So I'm not panicking yet.
I'll have an injection if they tell me to.

You wouldn't believe the number of neurotic "asthmatic" women who have called me already, panicking. The real PROPERLY sick patients are too out of breath to actually bend my ear non-stop for 20 minutes about how sick they are, poor buggers.

You do realise though that the new flu jab also contains a retrovirus (no idea what that is, just sounds good) that makes people vote for the status quo... No! Not the band!! It's a desperate attempt by the labour government to stay in power.

Those of us who've been in receipt of the jab will walk automaton-like to the polling booth and a special hormone (distilled from Peter Mandelson's sweat) ingrained into the Labour candidates box will interact with the previously injected, ummm, retrovirus forcing us to cross that box and no other.

Is what I think...

I would have it. Good job it's not too dangerous, I live literally in the middle of nowhere and people are getting it left, right and centre.

It depends on how you need to get it, if you have to go to a doctors surgery or hospital or whatever I'd only bother if it means getting the day or afternoon off work. I haven't heard of it being fatal to anyone but those who are vulnerable when they get it so I'm not worried.

Mad_Mushroom, the argument about vaccines going through 5 years of clinical trials does not wash with the flu vaccine. Flu vaccines are presumably easy to make as they make them every year, so already have the necessary knowledge to extract the correct DNA samples to create a non-active variant.

I suspect I know as much as you on the subject of vaccination processes, so I wouldn't spread sinister undertones on a subject you don't know anything about. "Self taught using wikipedia" does not count as adequate medical knowledge either. Smile

Source? Or is it too obscure to release?

Well, since they cultivate these things in egg, I think I will pass.

Egg does quite nasty things to me, so the thought of knowingly making myself ill, to avoid getting ill from something else.... Rolling Eyes
