The Swine Flu Shot a Waste of Time!

[snapdragen]

Got my H1N1 shot today -- now I'm sportin' a shiny gold star on my employee badge.

Is that sort of like a sign saying "I'm huggable again"?

Got my H1N1 shot today -- now I'm sportin' a shiny gold star on my employee badge.

Hope they remember this at annual review time!

I'm getting it. Feel like hammered crap. The only thing I absolutely need is cat food & I'm going to have DH pick that up. Otherwise, I have Ted Kennedy's memoirs to keep me company - oh - and that 85 pound German Shepherd who will be heartbroken that we don't do our usual walk-play-ball routine.

See, I'm a good doo-bee. Where's my atta-girl?

Just a note on my experience. The day before I started to feel bad, I didn't have the usual spark on the bike. It was weird - normal exertion felt really hard. I had zero symptoms otherwise. Don't know if that was the beginning but I'm glad I honored my body & took a leisurely ride.

Ooh, everybody who got it, get better soon! Watch the cough. If it seems to linger, and if it gets worse call your doc. Lung goobers after the swine flu are sending folks to the hospital.

Here's a link with bad words in it. (but it's a very funny link) If you cannot handle the kinds of words used by the average pre-schooler on the playground, do not click the link! (also, if you do not like sarcasm you would be best served not to click the link.) http://www.cafemom.com/journals/read..._to_not_get_it

<snort> errr - aaa oink....

That was pretty funny, though generally sarcasm tends to make people write you off more than change their minds (so I'd suggest reading it only if you already believe vaccination is a good thing)

As for me, I've had both now and I've not contracted the flu, haven't developed any strange neurological conditions, haven't started hearing AM radio through my molars, and haven't noticed any men in black following me around. (one of the MAs in the clinic really does seem to believe that the epidemic is made up and the government is planting RFIDs...... umm I've had my cats chipped and its a *big* needle...)

As far as I know H1N1 is still going strong around here. Before the vaccine was available apparently it really decimated our residents. They all go on a retreat in October - one of them took the virus too and they all ended up with it... As far as I know only one of our clinic's Docs caught it before the vaccinations, which is pretty good as ENTs are kind of at high risk because of the procedures that they do.

"That would make a good episode of CSI."

He makes an excellent point about protecting yourself from the zombie apocalypse.

I KNEW IT!!!!!

" The government puts tracking nanobots in the vaccine as well as RFID chips as part of the mark of the beast, and the vaccine doesn't work since it is part of a big government sponsored conspiracy to line the pockets of big pharma and inject the American sheeple with exotic new infections in an attempt to control population growth and help usher in a New World Order"

Still not having any after-effects from my H1N1 shot, I swear.....

I got my first flu shot in my life and I got sick... I know it could happen, but I get sick once a year anyway... so why... I asked myself. Next year I will not do this again...

This morning I went to the gym for the spin class, the instructor mentioned...oh by the way I don't feel goot today I am sick... whaaaat! I guess I have to stay away from gym LOL
