Well, on the other side of the coin...........my husband and I have gotten the flu shots for the last upteen years..........never, not once, any ill effects for either of us.
Its my understanding the flu shots given yearly are their 'best guess' as to which flu will be circulating........based on the previous years flu. No live viruses are used.
This year its we're looking at two shots........one for the regular flu, and one for the H1N1. Yes, its a crap shoot. But, I won't take a chance at this point. Maybe it will work, maybe not.
But I'll never have to wonder.........."what if"...........
Of course, personally, and this is just me, I don't see any conspiracy behind H1N1, or think people are trying to just make money.
I just see a lot of health care workers trying to keep us healthy.
