Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 For the past seventeen years, I've gotten the seasonal flu shot around November, the first sixteen of those provided free from my employer, a health care agency. I've retired now, but the Veteran's Administration kindly provided my last flu shot last month. I asked at the time if the H1N1 shot was available, but no, even my doctor hadn't yet been provided it, and he's of the highest priority. He told me they were losing Doctors and staff left and right, and he was being very careful not to catch it. I have another appointment there on the 6th of January, for an abdominal aorta ultrasound. Of course, I'm going to ask again if the shot is available. I hope they'll have it, but if not, apparently Walgreen's, a local and regional drug store has an ample supply. I saw an ad on TV tonight saying that people could get their H1N1 shots at any Walgreen's store for $18.00. Okay, not free, but a reasonable price. I already had some kind of flu this past September, and it was no fun. It was followed by bronchitis and a cold that lasted for months. An internet friend in the UK reports that he had his swine flu shot recently, and it made him very sick for a few days. Maybe sore joints, maybe feverish, I don't know, he didn't use any adjectives, as I recall. I thought it strange, because in all those 17 shots I've had, there have been no side effects at all for me, and I don't believe that it would be any different with this shot either. In fact, I'm so confident of that, and so unafraid of the standard thimerosal-laced flu shot, that I'll volunteer for a little experiment. I'll take a shot every day for a month, (it may not be available on Sundays?), anyway, I'll take 30 shots, as close to every day as possible, provided somebody wants to pay for them. I would get the receipts, and scan them in for proof, and also report on my progress and any effects. If anyone (or group of people) would like to see this experiment carried out, just say so in a comment, and I'll provide my addy so you can send it via PayPal, and all receipts and results will be posted here. How's that for a deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 This is an utterly worthless gesture. It is tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot when you have a prosthetic limb. The damage that caused you to have a prosthetic limb was done before the limb was shot. > > > > For the past seventeen years, I've gotten the seasonal flu shot around November, the first sixteen of those provided free from my employer, a health care agency.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Clay, Just so you know, H1N1 virus has been in ALL flu shots for the past 11 years. H1N1 is very mild and like I stated been in all flu vaccines for 11 years. This all can be found at any one of the product info for Fluzone, fluvirin,flumist,agriflu etc. As for doing your own study, first of all you are not a child or an infant. Secondly how will you be able to note your progress if say you do have a neurological reaction. Right now they are testing the bird ( Avian) flu at Rochester University. Many veterans I know have died from the military experiments that were done on our vets, such as agent orange. Family members have lost their lives due to that at very young ages. So with that said if you feel necessary to chance your life at your age so be it. But again I will stress you are not an infant nor a child. Our children get more that what you recieved as an adult in one years time and with the weight of maybe 20 lbs. Unfortunatly there will be no comparison.
