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.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!

      Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
