    there is a very interesting video on you tube. It is an interview with one of the leading immunology experts in the US stating why he will not be giving it to his family......real eye opener it was when someone in the front line is rejecting the vaccine.

    In my opinion the risks of contracting side effects from the vaccine are far greater than the risk of contracting swine flu so i will not be getting it.

    Hi,

    I wont be getting it, I just keep thinking of that anti nausea one they got MANY years ago that caused problems....It just freaks me out too much to do that to bubs, but Ill get it as soon as she is out.....Id rather it only affect me and Id hate to pass it to her if I did get it postpartum...

    Glad to see I am not the only person opposed to getting something that imo has been rushed through...How can they test it over time if there has been no time lapsing???

    I'm not going to get it either, it is just too big of an unknown, the possible long term effects. It seems, though, that DH and I are the only ones to feel that way in the circles we travel. I work in long day care, and we going on a cruise in 2 weeks, and everyone from co-workers to family to Ob are all pushing me to get it. My GP is the only one who isn't pushy and just gave me tips on lessening the chances of infection etc.

    To each their own....

    melbel do you have a link for the you tube vid? I'd like to see it or can you remember what its called?

    And I won't be getting the vax too many unknowns can't possibly have tested for long term effects when the vax is only weeks old!

    I won't be getting it for the reasons you guys have mentioned.

    Don't plan on being a guinea pig for anyone.

    I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow and I know she is going to suggest it but my answer will be a big fat no.
