Well for starters:
1. They aren't dropping off like flies.
2. If people were dying every single day of H1N1 the numbers would be far higher than they are.
3. Not many have died from H1N1 compared to the total world population or other daily leading causes of death.
4. Odds are, a least right now, that 100 other fatal things might happen to you or your kids OTHER than H1N1.

When polio vaccines were first given in mass to the public in the mid to late 50's it had this little substance in it called SV40. What is that? Simian virus 40. Why was it in there? Because they used kidney cells from monkeys to amplify the vaccine virus during production.
So what was the fall out from this colossal blunder? Health officials discovered that the SV40 caused malignant tumors in lab animals and they ordered the virus eliminated from all future vaccines. But by then as many as 30 million Americans had been given injections of the SV40-tainted polio vaccine.
Makes you wonder how many people developed cancer from this fuck up?
So yeah, your damn right I don't want untested bullshit injected into my body.

And as to your "loaded" question... No I would not. Why? I haven't seen anywhere that actually GETTING a vaccine for the flu actually prevents you from getting it. My parents get the flu shot every year but always seem to get it still.
