If I am reading your report correctly Flumist is the swine flu vacine. I thought that flumist was the regulare flu vacine. We took the flumist and will never do it again. Still Sick. 1 month later.
I took my 8 year old healty daughter to the doctors for a Dermatology referral. She was healthy and we allowed her to have the flumist nasal spray. The next day she was sick.The onset was 12 hrs later. Runny nose, congestion ect. She did not have a fever or vomiting. It is a month later and she still is sick. Now at night she has a cough, but I am listening and she her lungs are clear, no rattle. I have taken her to the doctors again but they say just cold. They have Rxed nothing. I reported to Medimmune and did talked to someone and did a adverse reaction report since out peds office, said they would look into it but have never contacted me since. Did we get the swine flu vacine or the regular vacine??? I wonder.

The CDC does put out quite a bit of information as well as sites like www.swinetube.com Articles like this bring to light the sharp reality that the swine flu might effect everyone in the very near future.

I'm adding Steven Reinberg to my list of "unreliable sources." Way to sensationalize a serious topic.

Recent polls show that only one third of Americans intend to do it. Go to www.feelingflu.com and take an assessment of whether or not you should be vaccinated and what symptoms you have. It wll help you make that decision.

Headline of "some get sick when they are healthy" with sub-header of "but most do not" is terrible journalism.

I am no expert but feel that all the medicinces that we have put into our children are actually ruining their natural defenses to fight off illnesses. Our government promotes a war on drugs and then proposes that we all use them. Not sure that here are any unbiased reportes left in the world today - everyone just takes the bs that their being fed and runs with it. When will they actually do some real research and get the facts. Many vaccines carry dangerous chemicals - mainly as preservatives - like mercury, formaldehyde and others. Not sure about you but I don't plan on getting any shots!

Properly-prepared colloidal silver, vitamin D3, vitamin C, fresh garlic - these are some great preventive measures to prevent any flu, particularly the silver and D. Juicing fresh organic carrots, beets, and other veggies every day will do wonders for you as well. Forget these dangerous, toxin-laden vaccines (which don't work anyway and will actually make you sick and weaken your immune system) and stay healthy naturally. I do these things and I never, ever get sick anymore. Prior, I was sick constantly with sinus infections, endless colds, and all sorts of things. People, these things really work! You won't hear about it in the mainstream propaganda machine but take it from people that use it, it really works! And no, you won't turn blue from properly-made colloidal silver. You can purchase good stuff from any health food store or you can even make your own using silver rods and distilled water (no salts or anything else - those are what made that one guy turn blue. Don't believe the lies that it's dangerous!) The ions electrically charge the water and that's it. It works great, really! Silver was used back in the day because it is a powerful antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal. It does not destroy your immune system like modern antibiotics which kill all your good intestinal flora. It also protects against viruses and has been shown in several studies to kill any and all viruses that came into contact with it.

The headline is very misleading. The subtitle tells the real story, but not until you click on it. This is just typical media scare tactics. Why inform people when you can scare them into paying attention?
This article is the result of what happens when viewership and ratings (which drive ad revenue) become more important than presenting the facts in an unbiased fashion.
