Vancouver Forum: Swine Flu and YOU

I have a life sciences bachelors degree. LOL. *points at idiot* That's gold! Interesting that you think that you are smart. Are you trying to say that white people are smarter than us???. It's not even close. You don't even know jack about how vaccines work. That's why whatever you say are rubbish at best. And if you think you know about me, go ahead. You'll only make yourself look foolish.


"The infection rate of H1N1 is much more than seasonal flu"

Infection rate does not mean more people can get the flu. It just means the virus is more easily transmitted from one host to another. Makes sense since the "new" strain has a bunch of proteins (as opposed to some) that can bind to receptors (respiratory/nasal area).


"I know that in Germany an other two people did right after being vaccinated. There are also some long term effects with some people."

Probably the elderly group. Depending on their genetic makeup, the immune system may inadvertently react with the vaccine. It looks like allergies, but not quite. With the immune system exhausting, the pneumonia virus infects the elderly and then wham! Death. Basically, death due to secondary viral infection. This is why...if you are the elderly, you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. If I were them, I would not take the shot and just stay in confinement.

If no one took the vaccination shot, I will bet that the number of people infected is statistically no different. And besides, the vaccines came in late. That clearly gave it away that the virus is not lethal to everyone, yet I cannot understand how people are panicking like a dumbass.

As I mentioned a bunch of times, reputable doesn't translate to articles containing factual information. Research journal articles are by far the most reliable, but they are generally not accessible. I have access to them, since I worked for one of the research labs in UBC for like a couple of years.

Wow, I can't believe these people claimed you are smart. LOL. I'm disappointed.

I read that in the end, 400 people might die from this in Canada, compared to the 4,000 that die every year to to influenza..

so why the hell is this getting so much attention? if you're going by numbers, Diabetes should be getting more air time than this...

sounds like fear tactics

Beyond that, actually. The government and the corporations are and has always been colluding. The vaccines may appear to be free, but the government will pay for the vaccines by taxing us. And the money goes to their corporate buddies.

See, the dumbasses here know nothing about this stuff. If they want to call me idiot, they are boring me to hell.

Life sciences was the science class all the mental midgets took when they couldn't pass Chem, Bio and Physics. Let me guess. You got that from some private institution where you give them a shit ton of money and they hand over a piece of paper. Queen's anyone? LOL!

charlie, keep in mind that 6 million+ high risk Canadians have received the vaccine. That alone will keep numbers down, which is exactly what they were hoping to accomplish. Lower numbers is a plus for the pro-vaccination camp.

lol i cant believe people are still arguing about this

I know there was a shortage and the government sent sent out more, but doctors were all saying how this would only kill around 400 people before the vaccine shortage.
So now that 6 million people have recieved the vaccine (1/5th of canadians) that should bring estimated death total to 320 people
Still getting way too much press attention compared to the actual risk.
I think the fact that 7000 people have viewed this thread is proof of that.
