Uh, yes you can, my mother gets it every year, after every flu shot, she's got the flu for a week... the flu vaccine is essentially the influenza virus.

No, it is not. The flu shots contain inactivated viruses, and the sprays contain weakened viruses that couldn't even infect someone without an immune system.

If the flu shot actually gave your mom the flu every year (and thus risk killing her if she's in a high risk group), then that would sort of defeat the whole purpose. Think, man.

I believe she may have incurred Guillain-Barr? Syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain%E2%8...%C3%A9_syndrome.

Here's all the pros/cons of the flu-vaccine accroding to the CDC. The con (contraindication) Guillian-Barre Syndrome is mentionned about 1/4 or 1/5 of the way down the page.

Its a good article to read if you want mor information about flu vaccines in general.

Not GBS, she's been diagnosed with Dystonia.

You cannot get the flu from a flu vaccine. I think that's fairly important to point out, since it might scare people.

Just re-read my post. Thanks for catching my mistake! I meant to say flu-like symptoms (head-ache, muscle aches, etc..) and not the actual flu. Although it is entirely possible to get the flu after getting the flu shot from someone who is infected. It takes your body 1-2 weeks to produce the anti-bodies to fight off the flu virus, which is maybe what iamawesomewicked was speaking about (?)

It aint fake, just look it up in a medical textbook (or google booksearch) :)

The condition may not be fake but there is no way of knowing is she is faking it though. Just like there is no way of knowing if it was a flu jab that bought her symptoms on, or even if she is really ill if it isn't all in her head (link).

Oh, and as for being diagnosed, there are thousands of people in the UK on disability living allowance after diagnosis who are perfectly well, like my neighbour with chronic back problems on disability who plastered my ceiling a few weeks ago.

Why people are so quick to believe this I don't know, but then again the Nigerian scammers are still making money. Maybe her good looks have something to do with it...

ummm... go talk to people who have had one. yes, you can get mildly sick from a flu shot. ive had 2 flu shots in my lifetime and after both i got sick. also children can run fevers afterwords too, i know as i have 4 kids. still in the long run, it's better than being layed up in bed for 10 days with the full blown flu. the h1n1 vaccine IMO was not tested on enough people. i know quite a few people who work in the health care industry and they and even most doctors are passing on the shot.

i read a statistic that states 60% of people will get h1n1 this year because it is a new strain and no one is immune to it. on the other hand i also read just the other day that anyone born on 1975 or before may have some immunity to it. i guess im safe then, lmao. i don't trust my government at all, id like to know if obama and his clan all got the shot, i bet not.

The difference is actually getting the flu vs getting flu-like symptoms.

Go talk to people who've had one? Why? Getting a shot doesn't make you an expert on something. Yes, you can get "mildly sick" from a flu shot. You can, however, not get the flu from it. There is an exceptionally big difference.

did you read what i just typed? you still get sick from it just not the "full blown" flu.

the point is your still sick. thats why alot of people avoid it.

"The flu" means being infected by an influenza virus. It is not a generic term for "feeling sick." It has one very specific meaning. There is no "mild flu" and "full blown flu." The vaccine gives you no flu at all. It can give you certain mild symptoms that are similar to those the flu can, but it cannot give you the flu. This is an important and fundamental distinction. It the flu vaccine could actually give you the flu, it would be extremely dangerous and would kill more people than it helped.

So, I've found that you should never stop at red lights.

I saw a car stop at a red light tonight, and then very soon after, it was involved in a crash. Based on my observation, I'm going to conclude that stopping at red lights causes car crashes.

Does anyone see the flaw in assuming that an observed event caused a subsequent event?

He's already publicly said he and the family will get the h1n1, including his kids, and they've already gotten the seasonal flu shot.

Well, I think it's more telling that his daughters would be getting it as well.

And if Fallout 3 has taught us nothing else, at least we know we can just elect a supercomputer.

Theres nothing wrong with the Swine Flu shots. I had one the other day and I'm perfectly fine, also didn't get any side effects. In Australia, theres been 1000s of people who have had the Swine Flu shot and theres been no reports of anyone getting serious side effects, including the urge to suddenly roll in mud or go oink oink. In all seriousness it's safe.

glad to hear it man. still the masses won't get the shot purely because it's new and not tested on enough people.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By WaltC · Posted

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.
