Out of all the people that received the flu vaccine, how many had reactions this severe? I'll guarantee you that it was less than would have otherwise had severe reactions to the flu virus itself...

Everything comes with a risk. If there is a problem here then it's the the average person does not make the effort to make that they are aware of the risks that they are taking.

yeah how are you going to guarantee that?

By abasing myself before the community if I am proved to be incorrect. Would that be deemed sufficient? Bring the evidence.

By noticing that the number of reactions to the vaccine comes nowhere close to the number of cases of H1N1.

The woman from the video has, I presume (did not watch the video, as I'm at work), suffered an extreme reaction, and that is indeed incredibly unfortunate, but I'd wager it's also incredibly rare.

Both the magnitude and the odds of any drawbacks must be considered. We human creatures are very prone to emotional reactions to such anecdotes, but we are making poor use of our invaluable rational minds if we don't try to overcome that.

Surely you can see the irony in those two statements put together?

There is no irony. I am tired of government propagandists. I don't want to end up like that chick. I sure hope you put your money where your mouth is and take the vaccine.

Already got the seasonal flu one, three weeks ago, along with several million other people.

So put YOUR money where your mouth is, and show some evidence that more than a miniscule percentage of the vaccinated had that sort of reaction. Otherwise the irony stands.
