If it mutates into a deadly disease in the Autumn/Fall then "how" will that happen - it is unlikely to happen in the Whole world because mutant strains will be fairly local. Therefore as it stands it would be totally stupid to take a vaccine against a Swine Flu which is not much worse than the common cold. If the country you are in becomes a hot bed for the mutant strain then it is worth considering I suppose but only if you see people dying who are healthy. The best thing to do is be patient and see what happens. You are in no danger from Swine Flu at the moment. All of those who have died and been tested had underlying health problems. The latest 3 in the UK are being tested. But to take a vaccine when only 3 people in the whole country have died when it is supposed to be an epidemic seems to me like an over-reaction. Therefore based on common sense taking the vaccine is a bit like taking a load of Paracetemol on the offchance you might get a bad headache one day in the future. It is going to do you no good and might actually hurt you - so wait until YOU KNOW you HAVE to take a vaccine. Even then it is worth considering that it probably wont protect you because it has not been tested and so may only have a small chance of success against the Swine flu. I will prefer to use my own God given immunity and pray. I am not afraid of flu and never have been. This is a media scare and if the media was not reporting this then I would bet it would not have effected any of your lives in the main. Enjoy life and lets stop them scaring us into actions that are not necessary. |

My brother has just been told his daughter my neice has swine flu, my neighbour recently got sent home for it, aswas his wife and kids.
However the big thing is none have been tested, but instead been diagnosed from someone on the end of the phone nhs direct, can we really say this is growing as fast as they say when it isnt even being tested for. What do you think |

There is talk in my workplace about this jab being made compulsory for it's workers, and refusal will lead to misconduct and potentially loss of job.
Of course our union has decided to side with management and not with the people who pay for it to represent our best interests. |

it is a real mind f**k, how many steps ahead could we possibly get with limited resources, contacts & money..??, TPTB could be ten steps ahead & we feel liberated b/c we just jumped forward by 2 , they have unlimited ability, 1000's of ''think tanks'' producing endless scenarios...all we have is Google (which is owned by them), various book outlets & the odd insider contact who may have the tiniest shred of a story... but i do think for some reason its all about to end..... ![]() SK

My Father in law is in Hospital at the moment He very seriously poorly The docs ain't give him long to live bless him He is 82 tho so had a good innings.
However the point I'm posting is to tell you the ward he was on, which was a respiratory ward. HAD one case off swine flu 3 DAYS ago They now have five cases and have move father in law along with a few others, to differing wards. The ward is now going to used for the forthcoming influx off patients with swineflu. As told to us by the "Director off nurses" The head honcho apparently.

Pre-empt this vaccination :
1. Decide to have swine flu 2. Take lemsip to work and sniffle - cover yourself in Vicks Vaporrub so you smell flu like. 3. Tell your colleagues you are going to your GP 4. Ring your GP and tell them you have Flu 5. They dont do a test and tell you that you have Swine Flu 6. Take 5 days off work because the Doctor has told you that you have had Swine Flu. 7. Come back and you have a medical record that says that you have had swine flu and therefore you dont need the vaccine because you have the anti-bodies already. So they dont sack you. All totally above board and all in line with current Government policy to say that anyone who has a cold has Swine Flu in order to PANIC everyone else - you will be helping the panic but save yourself the vaccine. Simple :-) PS and you get 5 days to put your feet up and boost your immune system by resting. |

A "Swine Flu Group" has been setup in our workplace
I nearly fell over today when my boss told me. He says its just a precautionary step that Heads of Departments are identifying key areas of services that need to stay up if less staff in and they will put a plan in place to keep show on the road.

THat sounds real - supposedly it is effecting the lungs according to what I have read. 5 cases at a hospital or even one ward is still not that many people. IN normal flu epidemics hospitals often have to turn over 3 or 4 wards especially to old people with flu. Take care. |

I dont know if anyone remebers, but one or 2 years ago, the BBC ran one of their Oh so informative Panarama Scare-shows. In it, it went on about the inevitable on-coming pandemic of bird-flu, and how it would most likely kill young ppl, thru there immune systems, as being young and healthy their immune system would over (which it said would affect the lungs most) by creating too many antibodies and the bodies would end up killing off its own lungs.

The current scare was caused by someone who did not die of swine flu. The girl did not either in my view. Still no one has died without an underlying cause in the UK. |

For anyone even considering taking the shot --- the Mayo Clinic recently did a study that showed you're three times more likely to get the flu if you take a flu shot. That doesn't mention the mercury and all the other junk they sneak into these things.
Jab free world. |

ok thinking about this.. 1. if this swine flu has been genetically engineered (highly likely from what ive read) i would imagine they have taken many years to perfect this virus, but judging by the reported death toll from it so far its either not been made to mutate just yet, maybe it has a very long incubation period where its realy nasty stuff happens? (im no doctor it might not be possible). Or maybe its designed to make people infirtile or less furtile, or maybe thats the job of the vaccines? see i think they will try kill many but i imagine they dont want totaly anarchy right now cos all us 6 billion workers are keeping there asses in chartered planed and luxaries we cant even imagine. What i do know is all the toxic vaccines we know of do pass lengthy tests, so there not designed to kill too many or peeps wouldnt take em, however this vaccine is bieng rushed thru in 5 days!! I also know that while this virus may have been genetically fucked with it is still a biological thing, unlinke a chemical cocktail of god knows what, ill take my chances with the more natural!! n pitty any fool that tries to stick me with that shit.
