Comments about ‘3 more H1N1 deaths last week in Utah’

The H1N1 vaccinations are filled with mercury and other horrible chemicals that will hurt us more then help us. I mean come on people their injecting us with portions of the virus and more deaths are actually occuring from the vaccinations more then people are being affected without taking the shot. Don't give in to this epidemic, its global enslavery and they continue to control us through fear. God is not of fear but of power & a sound mind. I already had the flu 2 weeks ago and just took a multivitamin, lots of sleep, and some over the counter meds and I recovered and so will you. Don't give in!!!!

13,000 people died from the regular flu between Jan and April! 1,000 from the pig flu! Stop reporting on this hogwash! And avoid getting vaccinated!

I was exposed to the swine flu last Saturday and am presently going through it. It's a flu and I've had worse. I am fortunate that I wasn't one of the few that had a more serious case. However, I am visiting my 83 year old mother here in Holland and also saw my 86 year old Dad before I realized I had the flu. They didn't get the flu, fortunately. I am so grateful that they were vaccinated. I love the fact that we have the freedom to make our own choices. Anonymous and Enough have every right to choose not to get the vaccination, however, I'll choose the mercury and whatever else is in the shot.

Enough,

You are a fool. Advocating people not getting vaccinated makes you one. Nearly everyone is going to get H1N1 and it knocks people down flat if it doesn't kill them. It also kills healthy people that the regular flu doesn't.

Hogwash! Where is your evidence that more deaths are occurring from the vaccination than from H1N1?

On another note, however, I agree this is being blown way out of proportion. A future variant of the virus may indeed be deadly, but all evidence suggests the effect of the current H1N1 strain is not much worse than the regular flu.

that the vaccine is filled with mercury? Please post a verifiable link-

Sounds like a great idea in the midst of a pandemic to make people stand in line (with a bunch of other people who may have been exposed to the flu) to get the flu shot. In my county outside of Utah, the public health department runs drive-through flu clinics. The people coming to get flu shots stay in their cars and some large parking lot is set up with tents and public health workers and people directing traffic. It works fast and smoothly and people aren't exposed to each other.

I would suggest that Utah needs to update some of its procedures.

I continue to be amazed at people’s stupidity or pure stubbornness concerning vaccinations. How one can trade not getting an immunization that has a very good safety record, with taking the chance of a disease that can kill you. Think about it...How many people have died or were hurt by this vaccination (if any were, the press would of been on top of it)? Now, how many people have died from the H1N1 (so far over a thousand in the US). And flu season isn't even in full swing yet! It may or may not be as deadly as the regular seasonal flu BUT BOTH KILL. The immunizations do not, except under very, very rare circumstances, harm.
As a health care provider I have received both immunizations for this year. I am exposed daily to the flu and I can’t afford the time I would miss if I became sick. Also I don't want to play Russian roulette with a disease that can kill.
As for the mercury...1, it is the wrong kind and 2, there is not enough to hurt you.

The anti-vaccine crowd fails to realize that the vaccines prevent pandemics of various diseases that can causes, deafness, blindness, and other birth defects much worse than they claim as side defects.

The shots that are not in single doses,but come from a multipac do have mercury. It is in the preservative called Thimerisol. Sorry, the spelling is not right on that. I did some research and the flu mist does not have the mercury preservative, so we opted for that. You can ask your doctor's office if their flu shots or immunization shots have this preservative and if they do you can request that they get the single dose shots that don't have the mercury preservative in it. Most flu shots have the mercury in them, but I have found that the health dept. usually has some without the mercury if you request it. In my opinion the mist is best for the kids because there is no mercury.

I don't understand why people get on here and tell others not to get the flu shot. If you don't want it, don't get it. And talk about fear-mongering and outright lying: The vaccination has caused zero deaths and doesn't give you the flu. Please don't state that as fact; state it as your opinion. And as for their being chemicals in the shot: May I assume you only buy organic? Otherwise, the amount of harmful chemicals you eat every day far outweighs what's in a yearly shot. Try reading the ingredients of your next back of chips. Read the reports about how much pesticide is on fruit.

On the subject of deaths: Just because you had a mild case doesn't mean the next person will. So far there's been more deaths of the young than during the regular flu season. My opinion is if you care about your kids, get them immunized.

that please by all means Anonymous the anti vaccine person should by all means avoid getting a flu shot, not the rest of us. ;)

To those that keep harping about vaccinating, let me share a story. Several Christmases ago, my husbands family all traveled to Eastern Utah to stay at my mother-in-law's for a few days. My 18 month old and another 18 month old got sick (high fever, malaise, etc.) I kept my son up to date on vaccinations. The other child's dad is a chiropractor, so of course, vaccinations are evil. My son got better within 3 days using only motrin/tylenol to help with symptoms.
As my in-laws headed home to Vegas with their sick child, they ended up rushing to Primary Childrens because she was coughing and would clench up and quit breathing. She was diagnosed with whooping cough and was hospitalized several days. They were lucky they weren't in the middle of nowhere when things got really bad. My son and their child got ill from the same bug, but much different outcomes due to immunization.
My in-laws now vaccinate all their children. True, there are risks with immunization, but they are very small and you have a better chance being immunized than not.

If you continue to ignore science, perhaps the flu will visit your home. Wild conspiracy gibberish is not in the pubic interest and your irresponsible claims could lead to another's misfortune. Muslims in Nigeria felt the same way about polio vaccine and they suffered greatly for their folly.

"Stop reporting on this"

Ah yes, ignorance is bliss. But its a sad state of affairs when the ignorant want everyone else to share their ignorance by censoring the facts from the media.

Why is there such a large gap in reporting the age groups of those who have died? Is there a reason for having it stated that way? When a death occurs as the result of a car accident, or other means, the age will be reported if and when it is known. I feel this is just another case of media censorship. But why is that necessary?

It's difficult to make a decision when the newspaper says "a person between 5 and 24." What age, what were the underlying health condtions, etc.? A guy in our office had it and nobody else got it, so that's a good sign. I'm more worried when I get on an airplane at Christmas since planes have air worse than sucking on an exhaust pipe!

There's way more mercury in a can of tuna than there is in a flu shot. I don't care what anybody else does about the flu - if they don't want the shots, don't get them. But don't assume that those of us who DO want the shots are stupid or ignorant.

I know all about the death rates and the effects of this flu. But I've got two immediate family members with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of serious complications including death. So, for my family it would be stupid NOT to get immunized.

We're still waiting for those two to get immunized, we didn't get up early enough for Salt Lake's Saturday snafu. So we're doing all the vitamins and other precautions we can, hoping it will get us through until then.

The Swine Flu is no more dangerous than regular influenzas: TRUE National media plays into the hysteria creating unnecessary worry and concern: TRUE The H1N1 vaccine is not a guarantee but likely will prevent getting the flu: TRUE There is some risk that the vaccine might actually give you the H1N1 flu: TRUE H1N1 will come and go, like anthrax, SARS, the bird flu and others, and only a fraction of the population will learn what media does to people and then the next pandemic won't be as frightening.

I love how all these people come on here and talk about science and don't ignore the facts.. Its funny with how disfunctional our government is, and how biased the media is, that everyone will then believe them one hundred percent on vaccines.

1. The same people doing the "science" and "research" are being paid by pharmaceutical companies to do them... guess science come out a little biased doen't it?

2. 4 different companies produce different types of the swine flu vaccine, and on all 4 of their websites they explain that testing has not been down "at all" to know the effect on pregnant woman or the unborn child, yet pregnant women are the first that they recommend getting it.

3. Since the influx of vaccines, the 4 A's have all increased at the same rate "Autism, ADHD, Asthma, Allergies.

you may argue that a study has proven that vaccines dont cause autism, well those studies are funded by the same guys that would be held responsible if it was proven that vaccines cause autism.

You are not a bad parent for not vaccinated your kids, nor are you if you vacinate them
