What H1N1 swine flu? Majority of Californians intend to ignore the late vaccine: Times/USC poll | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

So what do you think of it?

Well its only killed about 5000 people world wide while the normal seasonal flue kills about 500,000 a year. With the side effects and dangers from the vaccine you might as well just take your chances with the flu and try to build a natural immunity.

Come on people, use some critical thinking here! Mr. Obama claims H1N1 as a crisis, yet the deaths have not reached anywhere NEAR the deaths of the seasonal flu. After almost two seasons, why have we not seen these astronomically high death rates?

I'm glad people are waking up. It kills me every time I see on the news that someone got vaccinated.

Fallow the money. How much money do you think the drug company made from the vaccine? 90% of the people that died from swine flu had pre-existing conditions. I think I am actually coming down with it right now. Lots of people at my sisters school have gotten it and were both coming down with something. Immunities FTW.

Also 50% of health care workers refuse to get the vaccine.

My cousins had it, it was no big deal, unless your severely ill before hand or very vulnerable, your odds of dieing are pretty much 0.

I'd rather go ahead and get the H1N1 and get a natural immunity myself. This is nothing new, it has made its rounds before....

People that got it back in the 70s or whatever have better immunities then people that got the shot.

I don't listen to swine flu advice either, for two reasons, 1. i've had it, yeh it's bad but nothing compared to what its made out and 2. everyone i know whos taken tamiflu has been ill longer than those who didn't and had awful side effects, so i wouldn't trust the vaccine either.
