I have been reading about parents who are refusing to have their children vaccinated.
Since the Swine Flu is particularly dangerous to children and teenagers, I have two questions for
these "so-called" parents.
1) How would you feel if your children contracted Swine flu and passed it on to one of their friends and that friend died?
2) If you child contracted Swine flu and gave it to one of their siblings and the sibling died from Swine flu, how would you justify your actions to your surviving children?
Don't allow your children to become threats to their friends,classmates and family, take the time to get them vaccinated!

What a dumbshit.


For those of you not up to speed yet, it is entirely too late.

(Another good reason to turn over the nation's health care to the government.. :roll: )

If you are not vaccinated as of right now, chances are it won't do any good.

Thanks for showcasing your ignorance, splorks.

I appreciate it.


And LOL.

Ignore the stupid troll who has no idea what he's talking about. Since the swine flu is a new virus, a new vaccine had to be created. US drug manufacturers created millions of doses of the vaccine in record time, faster than vaccine production in other parts of the world. The sooner you get vaccinated, the less likely you are to fall victim to this pandemic.

How would you feel if your child died as the result of side effects from a vaccine that may have been haphazardly rushed into production?

LMAO....... :smt006

People should do what they feel is best for themselves and their families.

Don't let a little union hack electrician make those decisions for you or insult you into doing something you don't want to do.
Pious little swine like splorks always think they know what is best for people, yet he'll sit down and scarf up 2 boxes of twinkies before his first break in the morning and then pontificate about people not taking care of their kids.

If splorks wants to insult "so-called parents" then he should go talk to his pal the Mailman who was growing dope in his yard for his kid. Great parenting skills there.....Yes?

Way too easy.

Enjoy;

Swine Flu Vaccine: Are You Too Late?

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A new study finds that the H1N1 virus will peak before most people can actually get vaccinated for it.

The Washington Times reports that the study, conducted by researchers at Purdue University, found that the virus will infect the most people earlier than previously thought. It found that 60 percent will be infected, but only about 25 percent will become ill from the virus.

"The model predicts that there will be a significant wave in autumn, with 63 percent of the population being infected, and that this wave will peak so early that the planned [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] vaccination campaign will likely not have a large effect on the total number of people ultimately infected by the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus," the authors wrote in their study.

The most people will be infected between now and Oct. 24, according to the researchers.

Last month several prominent epidemiologists voiced the same opinion about the vaccine arriving too late.

Perhaps that should read "several prominent TROLLS" voiced the same opinion......?

Yes..?


Now you know...... :smt006

Life is full of risk.According to the CDC, the vaccine has is safe and no one has died from it. Last month, over 40 people died from the Swine flu. The peak season for the flu is January and February. I believe the risk from contracting the Swine flu is far greater than any risk that being vaccinated poses.
http://www.flu.gov/myths/index.html
Millions of Americans get the seasonal flu vaccine each year without any problems. Still, understanding that some Americans have concerns about “new” vaccines, the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine manufacturers have conducted more rigorous tests on the H1N1 vaccine than they do on other flu vaccines, and there have been no red flags from these clinical trials.

Also, CDC has stepped up surveillance efforts to track the H1N1 vaccine and any possible adverse events. Since it is so closely related to the seasonal flu vaccine, we do not expect to see serious side effects. But we are taking all the necessary steps to promote and monitor safety.

Our top doctors and scientists believe the risk of the flu, especially for pregnant women, children, and people with underlying health conditions, is higher than any risk that might come from the H1N1 vaccine.

Indeed.

And so you'll forgive me if I don't let some pious little twit like splorks decide which risks my family and I should take.

Thanks.

:smt006


Look into it, folks.

My kids are going to get their vaccines at school, but for those of you who feel uneasy about it, do some research and make your decisions based on what you feel is best for you and yours.

Tips to avoid falling victim to the Swine flu.
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't under estimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at using a Neti pot, but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton swabs dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C. *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list; you never know who might pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it - If you forward this message, please remove/delete all previous forwarding information. Thank you.

Another great tip from Dr. Sprinkles...demoted from legal sleuth to resident physician. (The Lawn Care season must officially be over)

Next week...Sprinkles advises us as to the proper method of cleaning the gutters...

Do you have even the slightest idea what you are talking about?

You're right.
I'll take the risk of not getting the vaccination.

Actually,pal,my lawyer tells me I should be finding out your real identity very soon.As far as your contention that I am messing with you, I respectfully disagree. Suing you is not the same as "messing with you", since I wouldn't make any money by simply messing with you. As I have said previously, there is a reporter who is interested in writing a story about this. Maybe he'll title the story Profile of a Message Board Bigot.I'll keep everyone posted on the case's progress.

Would you do me a favor, sploinks..?

Tell your lawyer (aka scum sucking cockroach) that I think he's only one small step above child molesters, which is more than I can say for you. Oh, and tell your make-believe reporter that is interested in "writing a story about this" that he's a bottom feeding scumbag as well and if that's the best story he can come up with, he better update his piss poor resume and think about going to work for the mailman growing dope because he obviously sucks at being a reporter.

Please don't keep us posted because nobody gives a rat's a$$ about your make believe bullshit.

Thanks and STFU.

:mrgreen: :smt006


(P.S. How's come nobody ever sues me...? :smt006 )

I do believe that "Tales Of The Pious Hypocrite", would be more in order.
