1. Nurses and Doctors are refusing to get the vaccine! Yay!!!

That'll learn Big Pharma!

2. I'm always a *tiny* bit heartened when it's a YouTube link

As bad as it gets around here, nothing comes close to the brain-searing stupidity of YouTube posters.

On the first page of comments right now is a guy with his dodged-a-bullet horror story. He refused a hepatitis shot in the '70s and shortly after, it was LINKED TO AIDS!!!

Heh.

Then after a bit of chestbeating about being born free and intending to die free, he lets us know why he won't take the flu shot -- because everybody knows the virus AND THE VACCINE will mutate until millions die from both.

His username: mensa517

13. Smega517 was probably already taken. nt

3. Face it, some people on DU are just plain gullible

and are total suckers for any alarmist horseshit that's posted anywhere on a blog or video.

Once again, I identify the alarmist horseshit and force myself to move on. There is no way to talk to a believer, but other people who read the rubbish might be reached as long as it doesn't degrade into a pissing contest.

I guess paranoid types must enjoy scaring themselves stupid over nothing.

4. It was really strange

I've been clinically paranoid, but I don't remember thinking that the lack of evidence supported my paranoia. This was something of an eye-opener. The true believers are a breed apart.

6. What upsets me is not so much the medical alarmism even...

but the acceptance of right-wing sources if it proves the point. Someone just posted that 'sometimes you can get better info from far right sources than any other'. This horrified me.

7. Incredibly shocking, isn't it?

They so desperately want to believe in the conspiracy, they'll believe anyone who agrees with them on that one issue - no matter how completely whacked out and insane that source is on EVERY OTHER SINGLE ISSUE.

5. The H1N1 vaccine was invented ancient China, you know.

True fact!

8. FTR..I am signed up to get my H1N1 vaccine in a couple of weeks

Its been nice knowing y'all...:hi:

[uriel1972]

9. Vacc's just been made available in South Australia

Call me crazy, but due to my health conditions I really should get one. I get my flu vacc every year and it hasn't done me any har.... thud

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. Pfft, I'm getting my Gardasil booster in 3 weeks.

10. The H1N1 vaccine

is part of a gub'mint, Democrat, Commie, Antichrist (that being Obama) plot to inject us all with microchips as foretold in the book of Revelation. It's true! I read it on the Internutz.

11. And now...

a thread about the girl who died (of undiagnosed cancer, as it turns out) after a Cervarix vaccine in Coventry is leading to responses expressing distrust because the vaccine was 'approved by the Bush FDA'. I know that the UK is sometimes called the '51st state', but good grief!

[uppityperson]

12. Insta-killing-vx approved by bush fda in England. Good stuff

still fighting the stupid there

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. That's cause Bush knew how to get shit done!

:P
