Flu Shots - Page 2 - Brown Cafe

bigbrownhen · 08-30-2009, 12:35 PM

I am not one to go get the flu shot every year. I rarely get sick, maybe one cold a year, but I was in the hospital once for a week with type A flu, that was awful. I don't want to take the chance this year with all the nasty viruses around and the contact I have with the public. I deliver to too many doctor offices and one urgent care.

My hubby is diabetic, and our little one just started Pre-K this year, so they are both up for shots as well. I asked at a pediatricians office the other day what is recomended for little ones in school, and the flu shot and a H1N1 booster when available was the answer I got. Since keeping a 3yr old in a bubble isn't feasable, we are getting her the flu shot just in case.

Yeah, but how do you wake up in the morning without scratching your ass...It's a guy thing..

Without China there wouldn't be a Walmart !
I know, but China does have technoligy, too.
The most exporting country in the world, ofcourse they make mistakes.
And as far as all those kid toys go.....
holy crap... yeah, they pick stuff up from old dirty, filthy carpets, and put that in thier mouths... nothing said about that.
Carpets that pets lay on, and people step on, etc.
Now, they are thinking about banning lead pencils in schools... it's going a bit too far... I smell jelously, because China is doing so well.

Yes, and if the current vaccination doesn't work, and China has it right, what then ?
Those that already taken the first one, probably can;t take another one, thats effective.
It's scary... - I'm NOT being a LAB RAT with the current, who knows what shot !

for once I agree with Klein.
This government is in quite a rush to give everyone a shot, without first fully testing what's in it. And those stories floating around about imprisoning anyone who does not get a shot are growing.
In Massachusetts there is already a law on the books that gives the public health dept control over the general population, they get to decide who can be locked up without due process .
Welcome to the New World Order, where panic controls all.

klein · 09-18-2009, 06:28 AM

And Baba, I like your lemon law in Massachusetts.
Is it 1 week you have, when you buy a used car, and it fails inspection, your entiteld to bring it back, with money full refunded.

They should have that everywhere.
Unless, you think differently.

NATURAL REMEDIES - AVOIDING COLDS AND FLU

* Keep current on inoculations, and ask your doctor about flu shots.

* Wash your hands often, with lots of soap and lots of water! Don't share washcloths or towels.

* Use disposable tissue instead of cloth handerchiefs. Put used tissues in a waste basket.

* Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. If you don't have a tissue, cough into your upper sleeve.

* Don't bite your nails.

* Don't share food or drinks, even a taste.

* When in doubt, hug instead of kiss, even if your heart feels otherwise!

* Drink plenty of liquids, especially fresh water.

* Get plenty of sleep. Go to bed early!

* Cut back on sugars and alcoholic drinks.

* Eat correctly, especially lots of fruits with high vitamin c content as well as veggies and grains which cleanse your system.

My kinda vaccine, must be the reason I never have had influenza.
Seriously, at risk persons should take the vaccine.
As to the total threat to the general population of H1N1, I think it is an over blown reaction.
Driving on a US Public Highway kills more people, by multiples.
"Standard" regular Flu worldwide kills more people, by multiples, than H1N1.
Bath tub slips and falls kills , or injures, more people than H1N1.
I need to change my signature to;
"Worry now and beat the rush."

It works better for new cars. If something can't be fixed after 3 attempts, then its a full refund.
