Is there any reason to not get the H1N1 vaccine?

My moms sister is a doctor and her whole family is getting the shot, and my mom us using that as part of her arsenal to insist that I get it.

To be honest, I don't want to get it.

I really haven't researched it too much, but I've been starting to look around to see if there's any reason I shouldn't just get it.

You're a dead man...

Reasons not to get the H1n1 vaccine:
-- Laziness
-- Procrastination (see also laziness)
-- Inconvenience (see also laziness)
-- You think "not worth" the time and/or money because "it won't happen to me"
-- Availability issues (demand > supply, drug companies are not making the vaccine as fast as they said they could)

Note: my excuse is procrastination. Don't get me wrong, I intend to get my flu shot and h1n1 shot, but .... probably will never get to it or find the time.

I might at some point. IIRC, as of friday there were fewer than 100,000 doses in my state. I'm not in a high risk group, so I'll wait.

There is no reason not to get one. I don't plan on getting one, but that doesn't mean I won't tell you not to get one.

I have no reason to. I don't have sex with pigs so I'm at no risk





Regarding the normal flu shot, that's the biggest load of bull ever. A flu shot gives you a cold for 365 days. Every day you wake up with a cold, but you never got the flu, cause you always have a cold

You can't teach the stupid out of some people.

Indeed. Not only is Pig Sex safe, but it's the best damned sex available. I weep for the future.

If I die from the flu, you all will be already long dead.
