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.

"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.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      By ad47uk · Posted

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
