தடுப்பூசிகள் உயிர்களை காப்பாற்றுவதற்காக போடப்படுவது. அதுவே சில வேளை பாரிய பக்கவிளைவுகளையும் தோற்றுவிப்பதுண்டு.25 வயதுடைய Cheerleader ஆக இருந்த  Desiree Jennings என்னும்  பெண்ணிற்கு இதுபோல் ஒரு சம்பவம் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. அவர் இந்த swine fluவிற்கு H1N1 தடுப்பூசி மருந்தை போட்டுக்கொண்டார். அந்த மருந்து அவரின் வாழ்வை திசைமாற்றிவிட்டது.இவரால் தற்போது நேராக நடக்கமுடியாது, நடக்கும் போது பார்ப்பதற்கு கேலிக்குரியதாக இருக்கும். ஆனால் எவ்வித பிரச்சனையும் இன்றி பின்னோக்கி நடக்கமுடியும்! அதுபோல் முன்னோக்கி ஓடவும் முடியும். இவர் கலிபோனியாவில் உள்ள தனது [...]

The truth isn't always clear or available when it comes to the US government! So with anything as personal and important as your health DOUBT EVERYTHING!!! Research every detail yourself. This girl's condition is heartbreaking. Some comments made on here were pathetic. God bless her in her struggle.

Yo she was mad pretty . this is sad. :(

Certain groups really are wise to get flu shots, while the argument isn't as strong for others. This woman's experience was unfortunate, but remains rare. Statistics are stronger than anecdotes, even when the anecdotes are heart-wrenching. I never got flu shots for years, but since I've finally developed a couple of conditions where doctors strongly recommend them (couple with my age), I finally succumbed this year. I was a lucky one--no side effects at all. Do your homework and make your best decision.

Okay, this is pretty simple.

Complications possible from H1N1 vaccine:
(a) Allergic reaction (even anaphylaxis)-- also a risk everytime you eat/breath/touch something.
(b) Guillen Barr Syndrome

Risks of H1N1
(a) Death rate at about 1 of every 1,000 to 3,000 people.
(b) Guillen Barr Syndrome - much more probably to contract this from a live virus than the dead virus that comes in the H1N1 vaccine.

Guillen Barr Syndrom (GBS) occurs at a rate near 1 in 1,000,000 with vaccination. Of those who recieve it, chances of permanent injury/death are close to 1%. That means you've got a 1 in 100,000,000 chance of getting GBS and dying from it if you get the vaccine. Compare that to the 1 in ~2,000 who die from H1N1 (I'll admit, I think this number is inflated, but it's close to what I read), not to mention if you're pre-disposed to conditions like Asthma, heart disease, etc, or are immune compromised like a young child or pregnant woman.

Numbers are very clear.
The risks are vast

The headline states "Cheerleader crippled for life after H1N1 vaccine." Yet, the story says the vaccine was seasonal flu vaccine, the only one available when she received her vaccine in August. There is no proof the vaccine was more than coincidental in her bizarre illness. And, despite the sensationalistic "crippled for life" description, only time will tell whether this lovely young woman may improve or recover. One should bear in mind, she is ALIVE. People who die of flu- now estimated to be 3900 people, including 540 CHILDREN- do not have any prospect of improvement or recovery. I urge people to take this virus as the serious threat it is. It is now a largely preventable infection. I got my H1N1 vaccine; I hope you will, too.

Wow, heartbreaking. Anyone think that this young lady had a pre-existing condition? My sons have both had the vaccines, as well as all their childhood ones. I have no doubt that I have done the right thing for my family. And by doing that I feel like we are also protecting others by not allowing us to further the spread of this virus. As I watched in horror, I can't go along with the notion that the flu shot will do this to another person. She is definitely one in a million, poor beautiful girl.

sad.
