Yes, it is a problem to people with depressed immune systems, but so is a simple cold. One girl got swine flu so mild, it's possible for her to get it again. I am hoping to create a pill for hypochondria in the future....I should make millions. I will call it placebo. Amen!

Also, Fuzzy, antibiotics, when overused, do cause a depressed immune system and vaccines, in those who are susceptible, have been linked to auto-immune conditions. Granted, you need an immune system in order for it to be destroyed however..... Anyway, I have concluded that all this swine flu hysteria is just plain ol' hogwash!!!

I also know several people who have had it, and one girl was back to elementary school in 3 days. It depends how one's body handles sickness. The article even states that the regular flu is 40 times more deadly than the swine flu. I do not believe in treatment for all sickness. My son was improperly treated over his life for "ear infections" (his ears just do not vibrate well). He now has a slight immunity to amoxicillen and can no longer take it if he developed a serious infection. Did I mention he isn't even 2 years old yet? Medicines and immunizations are not always the best way to go, and if others want the vaccine, that's great. My husband and I, however, will pass this year. Next year, if it continues to be a problem, we will reconsider.

Even non-risk people have died from it. At my house there are 3 asthmatics and one person with renal failure....we will be getting the vaccine.... Please do the research before making decsions on ANYTHING. I did; with the health issues at my house, I must!

After losing billions when menopausal women were told to stop taking Hormone Replacement Therapy, the needed to find another big money-maker and H1N1 seems to be the ticket. BUT, you are minimizing H1N1. If you are an asthmatic, the seasonal flu stays in the upper parts of your lungs, which are easier to keep cleared through coughing. H1N1 settles deep in your lungs and, for that reason, is a terrible virus for asthmatics, especially those who have daily uncontrolled asthma. It is also not a '3 day' illness. A friend had confirmed H1N1 and she says that it was 7 days IN BED and another 7 before she could go about her daily activities without extreme fatigue. She coughed until she thought she fractured ribs. Just sayin'! Stephanie,

The vaccine has been created in less than 2 months, so there is no possible way any long term tests have been done. I would rather risk 3 days of being sick than any complications from the vaccine. Most deaths occur from complications of the flu, such as pneumonia, anyway, not the actual flu itself. Besides, there is way too much medication for every ache and pain that is SO unneeded. Has anyone seen the commercial where you can take a pill now to make your eyelashes bigger and thicker? This is why I refuse to get my son vaccinated.
