      • Why? I'm going to get autism? I just poisoned myself in order to line the pharma's pockets? LOL. Right back at you.

        • No. You might just get Guillain-Barre though.

          • Well, hmmm, let's see. Since the occurrence of GB in the general population is the SAME as the occurrence in those receiving the flu shot, and since the 1976 GB scare turned out to be no more than a scare, and since that occurrence of GB is 1 in about 700,000 regardless of whether I get the flu shot, it looks like I'm not the one who is the idiot here.

            • My aunt got GB from the swine flu vaccine in the '70s. Died within a year at age 30. Really convincing "scare" that was!

              • So did you aunt barely walk, or did she die within a year. Somebody is fibbing! Somebody's pants are on fire. And, by the way, there are no cases of GB connected to the swine flu vax in the 70s. If your aunt really had GB, it wasn't from the shot. If you are saying that she was told that she got GB from the vax, you are lying. When you have to lie to make a point, it's probably not a very good point. Now, go put some flowers on your dead aunt's headstone or something and stop lying.

              • That is a tragedy. But how do you know she got GB from the swine flu vaccine? So many people were vaccinated, that people came down with all sorts of things after receiving the shot coincidentally. Epidemiologically, they were getting the same sorts of things they would have gotten had they not received the vaccine--but anecdotes like this are convincing if you are not familiar with the data as a whole.

                • I'm still waiting to hear if she could barely walk for a year or died within a year.

          • that occured in the 70s because the vaccine was made up of a live virus. the one now is a dead virus.

          • There is no proven correlation between Guillain-Barre and any vaccination let alone a recent one. My FIL had Guillan-Barre in 81 and he hadn't had a flu shot.

    • Congrats! I just got an email from db's ped that they are still waiting for more shots. I have no idea when we can get it for him and I've given up all hope for getting it myself.

      • OP: it sucks, right? My toddler is old enough for the mist, so we got that. Husband got mist, I got shot (because I'm nursing an infant). So annoying how hard it has been to get but I know it's been next to impossible in NYC.

    • I always like to thank people (thank you) who don't buy into all this vaccine linked with other diseases garbage. It make me mad to hear people say they won't get vaccines that could save their life. I always like it when people have the guts to stand up and do what it takes to make themselves healthy and not buying into a bunch of lies that have never been proven.

    • There is a one in a million chance of getting GBS from flu shot. The thing is, there's also a one in a million chance of getting GBS from the flu itself. Oh, and there's a one in 8,000 chance of dying from the flu. Guess what I'm doing!
