Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I got a book like that from both my kids schools. They've been giving vaccines there. Of course mine did not get them, but the money that's being spent on all these little pamphlets and info books(which doesn't even have the actual facts included anyway)is beginning to make me sick. What a waste of valuable resources.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Our school did a survery to see what the interest was. I can't believe how crazy scared everyone is. It's out of control! People were pissed that it isn't being offered for grades under 5th (reason not enough staffing for what it takes with the little ones). One neighbor called me and told me she caved with her two because other parents were making her feel guilty that she hadn't done it yet. Then after she had them get it she read the paperwork and realized that it had thimerosal in it. So she called me to ask why. Oh boy…Call me before and tune out the media driven crazy, hysteric moms… I do know several people that had it, the one person I know that got pnemonia after it was my hometrainer. I took one look at her when she walked into my house, after being sick the 2 visits before, and I told her to call the Doctor because I could tell she had pnemonia. I was right, she did, she is also the only one I knew who took Tamiflu while she had the flu. Anyone know if a secondary infection is more common with Tamiflu? - From: EOHarm [mailto:EOHarm ] On Behalf Of andrea52521991 Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:31 AM To: EOHarm Subject: Re: H1N1 Propaganda I'm still hanging on to a bird flu calendar my daughter got a few years ago.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well, now today I'm hearing they suspect some of the H1N1 cases were actually a rotovirus (good old common cold). Only downside is that they are using that error in diagnosis to encourage all parents to vaccinate their children instead of assuming they are immune to H1N1 if their doc told them they had it (and weren't tested).

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 You probably mean rhinovirus, and I knew they'd use it to push more vaccines. http://tinyurl.com/yjb86w7 > Well, now today I'm hearing they suspect some of the H1N1 cases > were actually a rotovirus (good old common cold).
