I don't know how dangerous the swine flu will prove to be, but I do not plan to get a shot. One was enough for me. I was in law school during the 1976-77 swine flu crisis that never materialized. The government and the university were strongly urging all students to have the shot. I drove two of my girlfriends to the gym where the shots were given. No one said anything about a possible reaction. Minutes after having the shot, I felt so bad that I barely made it back to the car. I just collapsed in the back seat, and my friends drove me home. I have no recollection of how I made it upstairs to my apartment or what happened the rest of the day. I was lucky compared to most who had reactions to those shots because I felt better the next day. Unfortunately, some died and others developed very serious, life-threatening diseases.

This round of swine flu shots is not supposed to produce the kinds of reactions that we saw in the 70's. It will probably save lives. But I still think I'll pass.

h1n1 is dangerous as most of the people know what are the symptoms of it . in the local areas there are no real place to check what kind of of disease the person is having but recently the cure had been found for this disease that will give people some relief as when they find which the disease it is thay have chance to survive

I think that it's a serious issue, but nowhere near as dire as it's been made out in the media. Ultimately, I don't believe that it will prove to be any more deadly than any other flu. The larger impact will be economic, with lost worker productivity and lost school days for our kids.
