Well of course they are, but I believe that's the whole point. You see the media can do the same thing but most people will believe ridiculous stories just because it's on the news or on TV. I believe the point of a lot of these theories is simply to get your attention and point out some of the obvious holes that exist which will show you that the same information can be looked at in completely different way. Then just maybe people will start to think a little more for themselves instead of believing whatever is presented to you. Of course there are the two byproducts which are the two types of people on the extreme of either side, one that only believes everything the media believes and the other that only believes crazy conspiracy theories. I believe where we should be is somewhere in the middle asking questions and trying to get as many facts as possible before making a decision.

I am more educated and feel better knowing I read this on my own accord this time. I am so sick and bloody tired of hearing about this stuff on the news and seeing it in all the papers. I am still not going to get the vaccination though. Just standing in line for hours with so many other people is a risk in itself already. I have hand sanitizer in every pocket and use it always. I don't touch anything I don't touch my face and I take immune enhancing supplements and vitamins. I feel this is the best that I can do.

There is so much hype on both sides, I am just going to sit on the fence and try not to watch or touch anything.

But if there was no line would you get it? I know a lot of family practice doctors in BC have it already (well at least my doctor and 5 friends who are doctors). They are probably only giving it to patients who are higher on the list like kids, pregnant women, & people with conditions.

I would not get it... I don't feel that I am a high risk individual and I do not work in the general public. I work out and train at home which is a blessing since I cannot imagine how risky the gym would be at this point. If I still worked out at the gym, or took public transport,I would definitely consider getting the vaccination or if I worked in retail or an office tower I might consider it as well.

However, even with all the input on the subject here in this topic I am still not convinced it is all that people say it is. However this is just my opinion and I am entitled to that.

What I resent is the media ramming this down my throat day in and day out... I don't frown upon people whom choose to get the vaccine, but I don't want to be judged if I choose not to do it myself. I take good care of myself and hope that the time and effort in keeping strong and healthy would pull me through.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories, I don't believe in vaccines (for myself) but I do hope everyones takin care of their kids, my 4 year old with epilepsy just spent 6 hours in the hospital with my wife cause she can't sleep, has a fever and can't breath very well... End result is she has h1n1. She's a hard 10 days comin up, not aloud to leave the house and another 2 medications on top of her already 8. My point is kids can't make the choice so put your theories aside and keep your personal feelings in check when it comes to your kids who can't think for themselves in this matter. If a person decides not to vaccine their children becuase an ex porn star and a horrible comedian told you it'll make your child autistic as apposed to now documented proof that this flu can cause death, you got some seriously disturbing issues and are not putting your children first. People need to get their head out of their asses and think... for once. Oh and... My little one did get the vaccine at childrens hospital, just too late.

Sorry to hear about your daughter, I hope she will recover quickly. I don't particularily like getting shots either but I got the vaccine for my kids safety and if they get it then I can suck it up and get it too. My oldest one is terrified of needles so it wasn't a light decision.

well it is might right to not inject my otherwise healthy children with a chemical cocktail that they in my opinion don't need. the media has spun this swine flu epidemic right out of control....everyone thinks they are going to die...you are not. the people who have their heads up their asses are the ones lining up like sheep to get a shot in the arm with a largely untested vaccine and they really don't know why....just because tv said so.
