I love this thread.

I guess in hindsight, swine flu was nothing but a hyped up seasonal flu...

I remember there were posts accusing the "non-vaccinated" as murderers. Where are you guys now?

How come my H1N1 shot didn't give me a sexy Aussie accent like that girl? What a rip...

That is pretty funny actually.

I didn't end up getting the H1N1 shot, but did get the seasonal shot.

I continue to be a high roller and have not had any flu shot, even spending some ample time rolling the dice in airports the last few weeks.

I rarely go shopping for anything so the most frightening moments for me were in a packed Wal-Mart just before Christmas and thinking if I was ever going to catch anything, that would be the place. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

It's 70 pages long but there were people saying that others who didn't get it should be charged with murder, compared not getting the shot to drinking and driving, so on. It was a pretty pathetic attempt at changing peoples minds but I'd say everyone say through them and knew they were just fear mongers. These same people also admitted to lying to get their shot before those who needed it, some people are just sad.

That's a stretch to say the least.

Quote:
If you get the flu because you did not get the vaccination, you may not die, but you could possibly spread it to someone else who does die.
This is medically accurate.
Quote:
If you cause someone else to die, may you rot in ****.
Is this the line that you think is implying murder? That's a stretch.
