Reply to: Just had the swine flu jag

[minestrone]

I'm stating the obvious fact that there are risks associated both with having the jab and with not having the jab. Everyone should do their own research and reach their own decision. I know several professionals in the field who wouldn't go near it. Others disagree.

You've done it now, If I were you I'd just try and forget about it.

No, you said...

"It might not even be effective"

You have no evidence to back up that claim. You just made that up.

I'll let you all know next week whe I have mine......

Not so sure about it, but am in an "at risk" category, so would have flu jabs anyway.

Will be consulting my medical friends about whether it's such a good idea or not

All credit to the NHS for dealing with the job effectively, professionally and dealing with the blatant scaremongering produced by the press.

Too many people are too quick to get laid into the NHS for their faults but when the system works nobody is quick to say "well done".

Well done NHS.

So you don't believe the conspiracy theorists stance that the swine flu jab/jag is a slow burning death sentence to bring about population control?

[RichardCranium]

So are you saying that the drug does not work? Why don't we email Roche that you are saying this on a public forum and see what their lawyers say.

We can then point them at the BBC.

And while we're knocking the NHS: "Three appear to have acquired the infection in hospital."

[conned tractor]

I don't know what to believe. Conspiracy theorists harping on about the dangers of squalene adjuvants present in the vaccine and such like or the seemingly self interested power hungry ****s that run this country.

And on that basis count me out.

As for the nhs...its good in theory but certainly has some 'issues'.

Well, if the NHS is issuing Tamiflu that doesn't work, and since it first didn't work in an NHS hospital, it all seems pretty on-topic.

What are your qualifications?

The thread, as was started, was meant to be about the NHS reponding to the flu.

FFS.

And your medical degree came from?

[minestrone]

Tamiflu typically reduces the length of the illness by up to one day providing it has been taken within a day of symptoms appearing. Not taking it doesn't make much difference.

You will probably get swine flu. If you do you will likely have a mild flu lasting a couple of days. You've probably already had it.

Having the jab definently exposes you to a risk. It might not even be effective.

Assuming the jab helps, the risk you take by not having it is of probably having an illness that will probably be mild for a couple of days.


No medicine is without risk or side effects. You take a risk either way.

I thought the Tamiflu post was relevant to this thread. I took it to mean:

"Don't have the jab if you want but don't be surprised if, when you get Swine Flu,the Tamiflu doesn't help".

Tamiflu-resistant swine flu spreads 'between patients'

Tamiflu do not make the jabs, they make anti virals.

If you want to look like an idiot keep posting.
