Continue living in your eutopia, dont be suprised when it all comes crashing down.
You are being completely irrational, believe whatever you want to believe that's your right as a human being. But with those beliefs comes the epistemic responsibility of backing up your claims with sounds scientific evidence. Linking to a bunch of phony websites doesn't prove or validate anything.

You claim that our utopia is going to come crashing down, care to explain how that is going to happen? And before you waste your time, don't bother posting youtube video's or links to skeptic websites. Give me something from the world of academia, something peer reviewed or in a scientific journal of some sort.

But the point still stands, and thank you for ranking it as classic. I know my posts are good, but didn't know they were that good.

This is insanity.

The flu kills people. The flu vaccine stops people from getting the flu.

We're being told that H1N1 affects people with underlying conditions with more severity than the common flu does. So why not just get the damn shot? It's safe. You aren't going to die from the shot. You *could* die from the flu.

Get the damn shot.

I can't believe how much of a 180 I've done on this topic. We need a new poll, because I think the results would be vastly different.

Right back at me? OK:

I have actually reviewed some of the scientific literature in this area, as it is a part of my job to do so. I have a decade+ of post secondary training in medical sciences, the majority of which is spent examining other peoples scientific studies for validity, accuracy, and application. This means actually reading the original articles/studies with a critical eye, and making my own rational judgements on scientific merit. I have no reason to accept someone elses interpretation of findings, as I am perfectly capable of doing that myself.

If that's not enough, I can tell you our ICU's are overloaded with H1N1 patients, much more than I have ever seen from seasonal flu, and there is not a single patient I have seen admitted for vaccine side effects.


Your move Scully....

Well I think I can say that you're full of the crazy. When you watched "V", did you think it was a documentary?

There's nothing wrong with being crazy.

Oh wait, I see what you mean. You did think "V" was a documentary.

A little prodding is usually enough to reveal people's true intent.
