MALIA AND SASHA HAVE RECEIVED THEIR SWINE FLU SHOTS-HAVE YOUR KIDS?

First daughters Malia,11, and Sasha,8, have received their swine flu vaccinations, a White House spokeswoman confirmed yesterday(October 27th). The First Daughters were given their (H1N1) shots last week by White House physician, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, once the vaccine became available to school-age children in Washington, DC. The girls have also received their flu shots, the White House said. So what’s the big deal, you ask? Patricia Waltson of Examiner says it best:

“Many have been asking (and were curious) if these girls would in fact get the vaccine since there has been so much controversy over the effectiveness versus the possible side effects of a vaccine that seemed to have been rushed up. One lady reportedly said, “When the president’s girls get the vaccine, I will consider if my children will get it.”

Not wanting the public to think these girls got priority, they received their shots when they were made available at their school. The White House doctor ordered the vaccine through the same channels as any other health provider, it was reported. But there is bound to be those who feel these girls got priority since there is a shortage. By making public that Sasha and Malia had received the H1N1, it was hoped that this would help alleviate the fears of parents.”

So far, more than 1,000 people across the United States have died from the swine flu. There is currently a national shortage of the swine flu vaccine and President Obama has  declared a national emergency for doctors and nurses to better deal with the spread of the virus.

BCK Says: Have you or your kids been vaccinated?

    No and i will not be getting the H1N1 shot. The vacine is too new,

    Did you see the girl on the news who can’t walk forward. not gonna be me, i’ll take my chances catching the swine flu on my own.

    Besides that shot gives you the swine flu so you can build an immune system up for it. whats the differences, i’ll take my chances.

  • hello says:

    No thank you. My medicine is all natural eating healthy taking vitamins and drinking green tea. If we all ate healthier and built up are immune system we wouldn’t need all those vaccines.

  • Anna says:

    No, I don’t believe in shots against the flu.

  • BB says:

    I am torn. I am the mom over here scratching her head, while the father is pushing for it. What to do?

    That the Obama girls have had it done, does seem like a promotion of it of sorts…

    Will be phoning the pediatrician.

  • Tiffany says:

    as a nurse i have seen firsthand the side effect from vaccines. my kids will not be getting the h1n1 vaccine or the flu shot. my kids are healthy and i would like to keep it that way! there has been no credible evidence that the vaccine is safe and the clinical trials have shown conflicting data. vitamin d is the way to go.

  • Teri says:

    Nope. I don’t intend to.

  • Kinereth says:

    No. I’m not getting it either. It’s too new, and there have been a number of negative side effects that have been idenitified thus far…

  • Toni A. says:

    I’m actually afraid to give it to my son. He just received his vaccinations and flu shot on his 2nd birthday, and that alone usually leaves him with high fever and something I can only describe as the “shakes.” I really don’t want to add another vaccination(and its side affects) to the list until I learn more about it!

  • Blessed says:

    My children and I will not be getting the swine flu vaccination. But we have gotten the vaccination for the regular flu and have so for the last 5 or 6 years. With prayer and God’s blessings my children have never had the flu.

  • Kiki says:

    NO!!!!!!!!!! We got the flu mist for my daughter right before we left for a trip to Europe and Africa. My baby was soooo sicj for a week. We had to take her to a doctor in Italy. It is not worth the risk and the vaccine is to new to know the side effects.

  • MixtryMama says:

    Noooo friggin wayyyy!!!! Too new and too untested. Plus, they all have mercury, and this one has more mercury than almost any other vaccine.

  • BCKFAN says:

    You’d be a damn fool to take that shot, let alone give it to your kids…

  • Sin says:

    No, thank you! I will not be getting it and I will not have my son take it. To new-no info-not enough testing!

  • Blue says:

    Like others, I will not be getting the shot. My mom is a nurse and said the same thing as some of you (it’s too new).

    My best friend has been confirmed for having H1N1 and the doctors really dropped the ball. I’d been hearing stories about parents having to take their children to the doctors 3+ times before the doctors actually took any action, (like testing) but I didn’t know the half of it until my bf tried. After alot of hassle it took them 3-4 days to confirm that she had H1N1 (not sure if this is normal). She seems fine now and is past the 10 day mark but I’m steering clear of her lol.

  • Dee says:

    My daughter & I have not received any flu/swine flu vaccinations & we NEVER will. I’m not into anything that the government tries to “push” on us because it’s all about population control. They are creating as many illnesses & diseases that they can think of to get rid of a mass number of people……….AIDS, Cancer, Swine Flu etc. etc. (believe it or not, all of this mess has been invented by somebody sitting in a lab with nothing else better to do).There’s so much that I want to say about everything that’s going on in our world today, but if I tried to implement it into this blog it will turn into a novel (LOL). My daughter & I will keep eating healthy, keep praying to God & we will be alright. Have any of you heard of Martial Law, The New World Order, Illuminati etc. etc? If you haven’t heard of any of these things, you should try to read up on them because it’s some very interesting stuff. I’m not saying that I believe everything that I read, but it’s all starting to make sense to me now *_* Only in America……….S.M.H.

    • Champagne says:

      DEE, I AGREE WITH YOU 110%. MOST DEFINATELY EVERYTHING YOU SAID. ANYTIME THE GOVERNMENT IS PUSHING SOMETHING OUT THERE…WATCH OUT! I HAVE NOT EVER NOR DO I PLAN ON EVER GETTING ANYBODIES FLU,SWINE OR ANY OTHER SHOT!!!!

  • nette says:

    Now that I have read all of you guys comments I will not be taking any flu shots or swine flu shots. Or will I be giving it to my 8 1/2 year old. I always believe in giving kids vitamins to build up their immune systems.

  • Paraiso says:

    No swine flu shots. I would wonder if the Obama girls got the shot, is it a modified version. There are different versions, depending on manufacturer.

  • Sherley says:

    My son & I get our flu shots every year for 12 yrs & nothing has happened to either of us.

    From what I’ve heard, the H1S1 vaccine is just a stronger version of the flu vaccine.

    That being said, I will not give my son the H1S1 simply because it’s too new. I’m sure it’s fine, but I rather wait until it has been around for a few years first.

    My son does has asthma & epilepsy, so if his pediatrician strongly recommends it, then I will give it to him. I on the other hand, will continue to wait.

    If you have never gotten the flu, the very first time you get the regular flu vaccine, you may get sick. It’s your body’s way of building it’s antibodies.

    No, I’m not a doctor or nurse, I’m just very well educated.

    Am I the only one wondering why is it important for everyone to know the Obama girls received their flu shots? Promotion or safety, do we realy need to know their every movement? Can they please get some privacy?

  • Paraiso says:

    Sorry, I think injecting formaldehyde, mercury, detergents and egg protein with live virus into my bloodstream is not safe. What do we really know of long term effects? Perhaps some others might feel that it must be OK if the Obama girls are getting it, but I am not convinced.

    • Champagne says:

      I CONCUR! GO TO YOU TUBE AND READ ALL THE MESS THAT IS IN THESE SHOTS AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY SENSE AT ALL YOU WILL NOT PUT THAT MESS INTO YOUR BODY. WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO PUT ANTI-FREEZE IN A SHOT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS FOR YOUR CAR!!!!!!sHEEISH!
