I'm actually the guy that makes this happen.  Remember I do work in Navy medicine.  I'm actually waking up early tomorrow because I'm administering the vaccine to all my marines in the morning.  This is seriously no big deal.  I have been getting mandatory flu shots for years.  Since before I joined the military.  All health care workers, military, and elderly are usually mando for the flu shots.  It has nothing to do with h1n1.  Its the same as the annual flu shots we have all been getting for decades.

Fosho...I just remember you saying you weren't gonna take the hini shot.
..Yeah don't go there,

I let you get to me

yeah yeah.

Variable

and I wont.  I dont take the mando anthrax shots either.  To be honest, I might not even take this flu shot.  Its the Nasal mist.  I like the shot better.  The Nasal mist is a live virus and can legit get you sick.  The shot is dead and only gets you sick in your head

But thats a power I have because I'm medical and I can just write down whatever I want in my record.  Of course me being me, if any of my marines had any real reasons to not want these shots other than being scarred of needles, I would do the same for them.  I'm telling you guys, not all of us in the military - government are bad

And you have proven that fact to me a long time ago. I appreciate your insight and knowledge, it helps me understand some things better. What I want to know is if there are more you in the military.

yeah yeah.

You would be surprised actually.  A lot of my friends are like minded.  Also a lot just didnt know any better but after you explain a couple things to them they become much more aware of what is really going on.  Its usually just religion that is the breaking point actually.

My girlfriend has been diagnosed with Swine Flu and she is very ill. I see her a lot and I am a diabetic and a little worried about getting Swine Flu because it will cause huge problems for me. I will still refuse to take the Tamiflu though or any other Flu related vaccine

Variable

Well bro tamiflu is not a vaccine its an anti viral.  Just like taking penicillin for strep throat or a z pack for a sinus infection.  So if you did get the flu and someone wanted you to take tamiflu, I would.  There is really no danger to that.  The vaccine would be a shot they gave you to make sure you didn't get it in the first place.  For my own reasons I don't want to take that.I don't really understand how you diabetes would complicate the flu though?  I mean I can see how it wouldn't help.  Maybe if your sugar is really high I can see how some of your immune system wouldn't be working right.  But how bad is your diabetes?  Are you able to keep it under control?

And yeah so I took my flu mist and I feel just fine.  Just as expected.  I havent had any of my marines claim to be sick either.

My diabetes has been pretty well controlled lately. I used to get the annual flu shot every year just like the old folks do, but after reading some shit about the flu shot (it contains mercury etc) I decided that I wouldn't take it anymore. I don't think it's healthy putting that shit in my body year after year...

The only danger I guess for a diabetic and the flu is that when you get the flu you lose your appetite and diabetics have to eat all the time to maintain their sugar levels. But I'm a pretty healthy person who looks after himself so If I DO get the flu I don't think it will be that much of a problem for me. Its just taking the vaccine for Swine Flu which I know they will try and make me take because I'm more 'vulnerable' to it.

Variable

that makes perfect sense to me
