That seals it. Im not getting it.

Fox Six news last night reported that the nasal spray version of the swine flu shot can only be given to healthy people because it contains LIVE H1N1. Add that to the shot version which has traces of Mecury in it. I understand the building of immunity, but this just seems out of wack. Am I wrong?

  1. I saw my doctor yesterday for a checkup. He told me that people who receive the nasal mist would be shedding the live virus and therefore the shot is preferable. Nothing about mercury.

  2. I saw a TV documentary about the immune system. It said live germs are the best for developing an immunity against a disease. In my childhood we let children get close to 'sick' kids so they would develope an immunity. BUT sometimes the immunity defense goes awry and thereafter you will always be suseptible to the disease. Oh Oh Me...I'm not taking it. MOI

  4. I don't even think I need it since I was born in that period of time where they seem to feel we have some immunity.

  5. Ok orbs, put your money where your mouth is... or is it only put your mouth there if you have the money? ;>

    Hate to break it to ya, you can only have the nasal vaccine if you are between 2-49 years old. It isn't given to geezers.

    My eyes feel funky and I'm a bit achy. I'm hoping it was my nocturnal activities last night that are causing it.
