can anyone clarify this one?
apparently immigrants will get first option on the swine flu jabs.
i have no idea how true this is so don't ask me for any sources-perhaps one of the regular forum members can help.
if it is true then your thoughts please!.
well duh!-you make a very valid point-but as the swine flu has already infiltrated 99% of the country and government estimates that possibly 65.000 could die it's a bit like bolting the gate after the horse has done a runner.
cydney-and your point is what exactly?.

I found no truth to that statement. I heard this morning on the news there will not be enough vaccine for America as it is made in Europe and they will use what they need before sending it out of the country. It is most likely just another slam against immigrants by those fond of slamming them.

I have no idea if this is true or not.
However, given that diseases which were eradicated from this country are now back courtesy of our un-vaccinated migrant population, I think it would behove our government more to insist that all who enter this country have been/will be (on arrival) vaccinated against polio, smallpox, TB, hepatitis etc.
I see no benefit in prioritising immigrants for vaccination unless, as government says, the "flu" is more likely to affect those with existing health problems/deficiences.
I myself would decline "swine flu" vaccination for the same reason I decline any flu jab, I am healthy and have no underlying health conditions that would cause my demise should I catch it.
Also, I refuse to be brainwashed by government and media driven propoganda.
The stats will bear me out, as of the present they are no worse than any seasonal flu figures.

I doubt this highly. I think those most at risk - so anyone under 25 and anyone with underlying health problems will be the first.
A vaccination doesn't kill the flu, it simply gives the individual a little of the dead virus then allows the body to check out the dead stuff then if work out how to kill the live stuff if it comes along.

actually more people will die from the vaccine than from the swine flu itself. I for one eil NOT take the vaccine,m and I will not allow my son to take it either.
http://www.whale.to/vaccines/deaths.html
for those of you who follow the herd mentality and say that I am risking your health by not being vaccinated - that is such a load of BULL>
Think about this - WHY does my being unvaccinated bother you??
You are vaccinated, you will NOT get sick,. The vaccine companies swear that vacines work, I choose to not beleive them. You can believe them all you like.
So if swine flu shows up you WILL BE PROTECTED. The vaccines companies SWEAR that is true. I may die but thats not your problem, because you are protected and you are safe. If I die, that is my problem, not yours.
Hypothetical situation - say you take the vaccine and you die the next day of an allergic reaction - well thats your problem, not mine.
I chose to not take the vaccine and I am still alive.
You chose to take the vaccine and you are dead.
AND the US government has ruled that you CANNOT file a lawsuit agains those vaccine companies if someone dies after receiving a vaccination. Its true - its in the PATRIOT ACT.

About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water. Of course, this value is highly variable - the water content of diarrhea is much higher, and the amount of water in poop that has been retained (voluntarily or otherwise) is lower. Water is absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer a turd resides inside before emerging, the drier it will be.
Of the remaining portion of the turd, about 1/3 is composed of dead bacteria. These microcorpses come from the intestinal garden of microorganisms that assist us in the digestion of our food. Another 1/3 of the turd mass is made of stuff that we find indigestible, like cellulose, for instance. This indigestible material is called "fiber," and is useful in getting the turd to move along through the intestine, perhaps because it provides traction. The remaining portion of the turd is a mixture of fats such as cholesterol, inorganic salts like phosphates, live bacteria, dead cells and mucus from the lining of the intestine, and protein.

Immigrants or illegals who are bringing the diseases into our country? It makes sense. I say give the a shot and then deport them.
