realy confussed,get the H1N1 vaccine or not?

i was one of the pregnant women that said a big NO  to getting the H1N1 vaccine.for all the common reasons such as we dont know the long term effects it will have and so on.. yesterday i was watching the news and it was reported that a pregnant woman with no underline health problems has died from swine flu.my heart goes out to the family and my prayers are with them.
now i dont know what to do.this is the first case of this kind in this country so its all to real to me now.i am asking myself should i not get the vaccine bc i dont want to take the chance of harming my unborn child bc we dont know the long term effects,,, or should i get it bc if i dont i could die and the baby.. so its like im asking myself should i put the baby at risk getting the jab now or put my life at risk not getting it. im realy so confused. swine flu is in our area and in the school,its seems everyone is getting it.just woundering what are your views? has anyone here said no then changed their mind,and for what reasons?

again, I was not the one being so rude. I asked you to let other people have their beliefs is all...I don't understand why you targeted me to get upset at when there were far worse things said. You are right in that I can not find an example of you bold-faced telling someone they are wrong, but a lot of times you toss their opinions out the window even though you don't like it when people do that to you. That's all I was saying....If you want people to respect your opinions, respect theirs. And I believe you do a fairly good job of doing that with only a few minor exceptions (usually not instigated by you in fact :), ). I just did not like being aggressively targeted, in fact this is the sort of argument I was hoping to avoid by posting what I did. Oh well, got sucked in. My bad. I apologize again if you felt attacked.

If i said anyone was wrong please point it out, cause i do not remember doing so. In a debate when someone said snippy things to be about not doing my research maybe i went back and forth with them, but i do not remember saying anyone was wrong. So please point it out so i can fix that. I dont think i post Biassed info, i post what i think is right, and im sure the other side does too. Your trying to say what this post was about or what is should be about, it is what ever people want to post on here. and their feelings most people will post their oppinion, and some back it up by a link or what ever, im sure their feelings along with their personally stories are valid. Sorry but i try to be pretty nice when posting untill someone acts like im crazy as if a lot of people do not agree with my side, then i get alittle bit more arguementative, but i still do not try and act rude, read the other comments people wrote me, they were rude. What people do not understand is that they do not have to agree, but they should be respectful and nice about it.

I do not agree or disagree with any of the information you posted. I understand where you are coming from and would be happy to drop this argument if you would agree as well. I am only upset because you attacked me when I was not the one being rude, I was only asking for things to chill out because it is OBVIOUSLY a very emotional argument and it's had to make a logical decision with so much emotion.

Ashelen: I didnt mean to be rude, but im trying to understand your attitude toward me, just cause i may not have posted info you agree with, when M3l posted similar stuff we have the same oppinion. Im not rude or push it on anyone, you have to understand if i was not pationate about it then i would not care of post my feelings , but i never made or tried to make anyone feel like i was telling them what to do, maybe that is just the way it comes off cause i believe in what i say. But i still advice you to do your own research, so if that is so bad then so be it! But i didn' say anything bad or diff from M3l. She may even have a stronger view on it! We all have our own views. I do care and i wish i had all the answers, but i do not need to be bashed for it! I will stick with, telling people that i know appreciate my views instead of people bent out of shape cause i posted Links. Links are everything on this damn computer, i thought it was a good way to show the other side, not from Mercola, but from Dr. Blaylock, I find what he says to be interesting. Along with the 60 Min Clip on the real PAST of what went on with the last Flu shot. I see these as being good links, you do not want to view them, that is fine. I can not make you!!!

Please re-read the earlier posts. I was not the one bashing you. I was simply asking you to let other people's opinions be heard and not respond with every opinion with "you're so wrong!!" there WERE people saying fairly rude things, but I was not one of them, there were far ruder comments than mine. so un-bunch YOUR panties and let it go. I was NOT saying take a poll, I was simply saying that most women are probably here to hear what choices other women have made, not receive a bunch of biased information...ON BOTH SIDES. I haven't made up my mind, haven't I stated that? And I don't appreciate your aggressive posting, because all I said was that I really wish you would let people's opinions stand and not try to tear them down. I said I respected your decision not to trust the CDC and refuse to get the vaccine. And I do. I actually respect everything you said up until your last post, I just was hoping you would stop trying to tell everyone they're so wrong for their own beliefs, because clearly you don't like it when people do it to you (who does, honestly?). I apologize if you felt I was attacking you but I really feel I deserve an apology too, because your last post was out of line in my opinion.

Again it is people like you that make me laugh, i ant believe just because i post my thoughts and LINKS, not just links, how you get your panties in a bnch cause i didnt take a pole of the women on here and ask them how they feel, oh please. Bottom line i respect what ever choices people want to make, you however do not, that is why u are on here bashing me acting like im trying to make people feel bad, i think it is halarious, I do not need to follow any guidlines you put in place as far as how i post info on here. Everyone does it all the time in their posts, but obviously this is one you guys don't agree with so you are makin a big deal, as i said in all my posts do you research, and that doesnt mean im right, dig on the internet drs, schools whatever you can find because if you think the Govt and some Dr are going to always be the ones to tell you what is right,you are sadly mistaken. That doesnt mean im right, it is just what i believe, and to each their own, but that is not going to stop me from posting links i think are good, just because you take offense. So take your own advice, and realise you are the one who cant handle the other side and are being snippy! If you do not like the links or posts i put dont read them, not really a big deal. I have plenty people as you do who think i am completley right. Again that does not mean im right, but yes people do what most good Dr who advice, try and build your own thoughts on it and gather your research, in todays age we are so scared people do not even question the authorities, and we should sometimes, there is nothing wrong with that in what ever you descide.
