Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Is anyone not doing the swine flu vacine for school age dc? Are you doing a general flu one or neither?
12 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreNeither. Both contain mercury. Swine flu is not tested at all. Plenty of studies show that the general flu vaccine doesn't work, ESPECIALLY in children.
[ Reply | More ]NP: It's not that simple. The general flu vaccine usually does not work all that well, but it does confer SOME protection. Whether or not you want your children to have it is a legitimate question, but to say that the general flu vaccine doesn't work is misleading.
[ Reply | More ]Alright, I give you some credit: a review of 51 studies evaluating the effect of influenza vaccines found that there was "no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than placebo." In children over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu (note that flu-like symptoms can be caused by more than 200 other viruses). Reference: Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2 (2008).

I will be getting both for my dcs, and I think that anyone who doesn't has never experienced the real flu.
