This is in extreme circumstances, vaccination will not be given to individuals whom it is deemed will cause harm to them, if refusal then the party may be isolated in least restrictive environment until they are cleared as uninfected.

I am reading this to be a large scale communicable disease or some type of bio-attack.   

90% of the doctors in MA think the swine flu is over-hyped-sky-is-falling-hysteria.     Much ado about nothing.

I got a flu shot a few years ago and felt like crap for 2-3 days. I vowed never again. Like Thor, I haven't had the flu since then.

I read an article today that said the president won't make it mandatory but he "strongly recommends" that everyone gets the swine flu vaccine. You first, jerk. :whatever:

Note that this is the same vaccine that the folks in the lab engineering it won't take.  Tells me a lot right there.

First we heard that a few people in Mexico died from some kind of virus. A small village kind of isolated from medical centers where people  were dropping like flys.

Then pictures of thousands of people wearing masks all over the world.

The American CDC then comes out and tells us that they have no idea what this virus is or where it came from.  No idea what the symptoms were or how it was spread.

This virus seems to target individuals here and there but so far except for the village in Mexico no Clusters or pockets of the virus attacking a group of people in one area.

They say a virus will mutate and cause off shoots, like first cow pox then small pox, chicken pox on to Shingles and what not.

If the Scientists cannot nail down the source of this virus, how can they develop a vaccine to prevent it.?

The only thing I know about the flu shots I get each year is I have to sign a paper saying I am not allergic to eggs.   So like in Jurassic Park, using frog eggs to clone dinosaurs  we use bird eggs to make our vaccines------

I may as well hang garlic cloves over my doors and windows to prevent an unknown virus from entering my home.

Some say there are genetic markings that point to hog, bird and human markings.  How can this be ??

If we don't know what this virus is how besides washing our hands every 5 minutes  will prevent spreading the disease,?

I hadn't had a flu shot since I got out of the Army, then got one at the V.A. in October '07.  Ended up with a hideous case of flu in February '08.  That was my last vaccine.

Alcoa TN shut down their schools starting today until next Tuesday, because so many kids are out sick. Not known how many are "swine flu"....just a whole bunch of sick kids.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Probably not an issue there.  That part of the state is solidly rethuglican.   :-)

Alcoa is in Blount county....they shut the rest of the county's schools down today....still don't know how many of them are actually "swine flu"....but TV said that many of them have "flu-like symptoms".

This county is adjacent to mine....I was just over there shopping Monday.... :banghead:...Lowe's, Dolllar Tree, Hobby Lobby and Wal-mart.....all nice "germ-y" places.... :bawl:

Cannot get sick....doing a wedding for 90 (was originally 35-50) people on Saturday, finishing table decorations and grocery shopping tomorrow (uh...today) and cooking all day Friday. Next time I "volunteer" to do this....someone just needs to shoot me.... :censored:

Did you all catch the emergency powers granted to the Massachusetts governor and health commissioner?  "...to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property, isolate or quarantine people, to get and distribute meds and vaccines." Plus a list of "volunteers" to carry out these orders and $1000/day fine and prison for people who refuse to comply.

And guess what?  Now Maine declared a "state of emergency" because of the panic:

I have had one and only one flu shot in 94 and almost died I was allergic to one of the ingredients so the doctor saw me after advised me to never attempt another one.

I've never had a flu shot, and have never had the flu, or least haven't been sick enough to visit the doctor over it.

I've never had a flu shot and really don't think I've had the flu but once....about 1975 and it was called the Port Chalmers Flu that year. I was sick as a dog for about 10 days.

I did have new-moan-ya at age 6 and almost died from it. Had to have a Tracheotomy so I could breath and they could suck the fluid out of my lungs. That was 58 years ago this Christmas and I still remember it all quite well.

All this despite the FACT that REPUTABLE  MD's say the virus is mild. And that only those with compromised  immune syatems are in any danger above a mild discomfort.
