the h1n1 shot is BS…just extra medicine in your body!!
i got h1n1 and didn’t have the vaccine, i became better in a week of rest. Just with medicene from my doctor
i dont want to be mean.. but i highly doubt h1n1 killed her. millions of people die a day. i took the shot and so did everyone else in my family and nothing bad happened to us. i bet if they would of mentioned if she had any diseases it woulda explained her death. i like how the news on t.v these days like to leave that stuff out to make it look like if the shot is a bad thing. i dont think doctors want to kill us these days.
The key is staying hydrated…when I had it, I drank about 12 glasses of water a day and got better after a few days.
my brother had h1 n1 and he was better in a week
i dont wanna die so i am going to get a flu vaccine
My son got the H1N1 vaccine and I am proud to say i made sure he got it.
He is aspergers and fully vaccinated. His dad is aspergers but never vaccinated. So in his case, vaccines are not an issue.
What is an issue is that he has asthma and other respiratory issues from RSV he had as a baby.
I did come down with H1N1 and it is was like a living death I have no complicated health issues.
Those refusing to vaccinate, keep your kids home when sick. You owe that much to the rest of us.
omg there are commercials on youtube now? seriously?
Alll those kids that have died …Is it beacsue they took the H1N1 flu shot?…
or isit becasue they didnt get the shot and had catched the illness?

Im just stating facts. If your unsure their true, please look them up, and humiliate me here.
120 million vaccines were suppose to be made, but 12 million vaccines are available. – fact.
Just as bad as “cash for clunkers” program
Obama’s children haven’t gotten the swine flu shot – fact
You would think the president and his children would get vaccinated after declaring a “National Emergency,” but they didn’t.
Can you point me to your information about Tamiflu?
I hope you are right, that would be the best for everyone. H1N1 has certainly raised my awareness of the harm that can be caused by Influenza. My kids and I will be getting shots every year going forward.
Now, I understand why H1N1 is news. People are afraid and it sells ads. Maybe you can tell me why the media drones on about climate change (formally global warming)? Talk about a conspiracy to transfer wealth. Why isn’t the truth being exposed there by the media?
LOL, H1N1 may be a “little” more deadly/infectious to young people, but does that give a STRONG enough reason for our president to DECLARE a NATIONAL EMERGENCY in the U.S? 10/25/2009 to be exact – fact.
An average of 100 children die each year of regualr seasonal flu, swine flu has killed around 50-60 so far in the U.S, and we are nearing the end of the year.
What’s the big deal?
Why the mass panic?
Why the mass fear?
Why the mass corporate media coverage? Ask yourself that.
H1N1 virus has raised awareness about other strains of influenza and the media have pointed out what you are saying. But this variant is more deadly to young people than the regular flu – fact. Do some research. This story drives home the point about being very aware and proactive and maybe even pushy about treatment. Yes, lots of the world’s children die each year. But your point is pointless in the context of this story; it comes across as cold hearted. This story is about H1N1, not hunger.
This is a very big deal. It may not mean much to you; however, Chloe is my baby sister. Please have some respect. This pain of losing her will never go away. All is important whether it be swine flu or the basic flu.
Im just stating an “imporatant” fact. My point to this story is, it shouldn’t be a big deal at all, period. Your Corporate media is pushing stories like this, so you and your children can get H1N1 vaccinated.
Its sad, but that’s how corporate America works. A small number of Children die every year, from the basic influenza strain. Why doesn’t your corporate news report on these cases?
I guess children dieing of “basic influenza,” isn’t as important.
What are you doing about that? Why are you always looking to someone else to take care of the world’s problems. Do something about yourself!
What does that factoid have to do with this story anyway? It’s pretty clear you don’t have any children.
i dont know this girl, and i was positive for this virus a little more than 5 months ago and i wasnt that bad at all. my heart goes out to this little girl and her family, i cant imagine this, i have a sister this age. may she rest in peace
15,000 children die of hunger everyday in this world. What does your world leaders do about that?
This poor little girl. We can thank our government and our bad doctors for this. Can you imagine what will happen if government takes over health care? This girl should have gotten the proper meds as soon as the tests came back positive, Its too bad the government restricts suing in this situation and protects the doctor. We all need to stand up and fight to get our country back!
it’s ok..just make sure its doesent happen again..the government is not for the people
my neice is 11 and she has h1n1 swine flu im worried about her
that is so sad i had many people from my familt that died from sickness it is a very painful thing to go threw
h1 n1 is man made wake up people
