Love this: “I do not understand his reference to “natural parents” not wanting to put chemicals in their food but allowing their kids to get the virus. Our personal beliefs are that illnesses are natural and an important part of evolution. Now our bodies are more up to date with the viruses of the world we are better off, imo. To me that is natural. Putting a manmade vax into our bodies because we are afraid does not feel safe to me.”

Obviously this is kind of an old issue by now but I especially wanted to point out how right you were about not knowing how real the threat was. For all of the HUGE panic, it didn’t end up being worse than a regular flu and only the people I know who get some form of the flu EVERY YEAR ended up sick. That guy’s argument was TOTALLY laughable.

to all those people asking “What are we scared of?” well exactly what is happening in Australia surrounding our flu shots….one child is dead and many many more have been hospitalised from the combined h1n1 and seasonal flu vaccine. How? They don’t know….to me that is evidence that testing is not to a high standard. But anyway I can’t help but be smug (of course feeling immense sympathy for the parents of children that did had side effects) as I had recently had a argument with a close friend as to why I don’t want to get my son vacc (And just cos it is free…doesn’t win an argument for me).

I will NOT be getting H1N1 vaccines because in every multi dose shot is 25mcg of thimersoal mercury. FAR to much chemical for my child, End of discussion. When I was pregnant 5 doctors told me NOT to eat fish because it contains to much mercury these days and can possibly damage the baby. If it’s to much just in some occasional fish, then it darn well to much in a vaccine as well! But they are coercing pregnant women every where to get this thing? NOWAY! The nasal spray does not have mercury but it makes you contagious.

“Um, those who “properly” take care of their bodies with the right nutrition will never and I repeat NEVER EVER suffer chronic illness.”

Alright, now is time for being blunt:

That is a RIDICULOUSLY ableist thing to say.

Not just ableist. Ridiculously ableist. And ridiculously incorrect, as well.

That depends on the vaccine. Different vaccines work with different parts of the immune system, based on what people who develop those vaccines have determined is the best way to prevent those illnesses.

Um, those who “properly” take care of their bodies with the right nutrition will never and I repeat NEVER EVER suffer chronic illness.
For some ideas about living healthy till 100 and over read “Healthy at 100″ John Robbins.

And by the way… you will not find info on proper care of your body on television. Well.. maybe only the exercise part of the show called The Biggest Loser. All nutrition advice on TV is WRONG. Fat Free eating? WRONG! Low Carbs? WRONG!

Read Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. You will never see the world the same way again. And your health will be better for it too. Need proof? Me and my family as well as thousands of other who have been sick and are now enjoying great health by going back to the basics of traditional eating of natural foods. You see we are NOT scientific proof because we are regular people who do things that don’t make big pharma any money. (most scientific research is funded by big corporations to make them money) As a matter of fact, if I told you I became cancer free from eating certain foods, I will probably go to jail… thanks to FDA whose top heads are sleeping around with big pharma. Need proof for that too? Research the job histories of all top heads of FDA officials and big pharma whores.

Thanks for your time.

H1N1 is a scam, its a scam designed to scare American people into getting a vaccine, because if they do that, the Big Pharma industry makes some serious bank, think about it $25 x how many people, looks like people in Big Pharma got some nice christmas gifts for their kids……..if you get it, you’re nothing more than a piece of a paycheck for those people……and listen, the only time i ever get the flu is when i get the flu shot……….interesting huh? I say, don’t get the flu shot, but if you wanna listen to people who are trying to make money off of you, go for it.

Susan: I’m glad that everything worked out for you. Aren’t you glad that we live in a society where people have freedom of choice? You can choose what’s right for your family. Others can choose otherwise.
Health Canada is posting adverse reactions, so I guess you can take that up with them. Most neurological reactions would be based on the adjuvants not the virus, so they wouldn’t be based on seroconversion rates of the vaccine.
Gardasil is a whole other subject. Based on the clinical trial results and the FUTURES II study, I would never allow my daughter to get it. Sure, it’s effective against those strains covered, but other HPV strains then fill the void, so net gain is negligible. But I guess they can keep adding more and more strains to the vaccine…

One more thing, I had NO side effects from the H1N1 vaccine and neither did my 12 yr old daughter. Absolutely NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you claim you had fever, or flu like symptoms after receiving the vaccine, most likely you had already been exposed to an illness (virus) and your symptoms had nothing to do with the actual vaccine. Vaccines actually take a full 2 weeks to give you immunity.

To Courtney above, sorry your child has autism, but it has already been proven that autism has nothing to do with immunizations. Please read up on latest findings, there is a genetic link to that

Also, it is your choice not to give your child the gardisal vaccine ( which has already been proven to be safe) but I chose it for my 12 yr old because even though I will teach her about safe sex, all the preaching in the world will not protect her from the evils of the world, as I most certainly learned over 20 years ago when I was sexually assaulted and picked up the deadly HPV virus because of that horrible night. How thrilled I am to know my baby can be protected from that.
