H1N1 - What's the Feeling in SL Community?

Hopefully most people will have better sense than to get medical advice from the same web sites they go to for information on black helicopters, the ZOG/Illuminati/NWO, Reptilian-Humanoid conspiracy, Holocaust denial and other assorted light fiction.

Well, I did have a few more questions...

I had never heard of Dr C before, so did a little search. Scary. Do you think the woman believes that anal penetration of a child makes them immune or just gives their brains more energy?

Local Farmers Market, FTW.

But not tease too much, coz I know what it's like and despite whoever you ae and what you do, it can really hurt.

Make up now, and not mention lizards again.

Funny thing about the flu shots mandated by the military: During the 20 years I was in the Navy, I got the mandatory flu shot every year (my last two years, I was offered the nasal spray, which I gladly accepted - beneficial or not, I fucking hate needles!). In that 20 years, I believe I got the flu exactly twice; once was a fluke, occurring within my first two years; the second was likely due to a mismatch, as I was living in Japan at the time, and they got a different strain than what the US got. After having retired from the Navy, I stopped getting shots. I was fine in 2007; but in the 2008-2009 Winter season, I came down with the flu twice, and so far this season, I am currently recovering from a particularly nasty case of the flu. Next year, you can be sure I will be rolling up my sleeve for that flu shot!

Anthrax. If ever there was a controversial vaccination amongst Navy members, that was it. The rumors and conspiracy theories I overheard regarding it aboard my ship when the series became mandatory would make Debra's theories seem quite sane. Nevertheless, although a few people were court-martialed for repeatedly disobeying a lawful order and unauthorized absence, and several more were administratively discharged when they suddenly cited religious beliefs against the vaccine, nearly all of us, me included, got the series.

I am not quite sure I would rate the pain of the anthrax vaccine as low compared to childbirth as you did (they don't give you an epidural when you get the damned shot, after all). But I did get, not only the series of six, but also three boosters. Everything I knew about anthrax and what it does to the human body told me that, even if the chance of encountering the stuff while deployed to the Gulf was minuscule, it was still an unacceptable risk, so I had no qualms about the shot (even if I did cry like a baby after getting each one).

Finally, you are seeing the light! And this time, it is *not* from the Illuminati!Hmmmmm, I don't know... Possibly, maybe because THEY DO NOT WORK?

Never underestimate the power of the placebo effect.

Probably the same reason we cannot resist watching a building burn down, watching a freeway overpass collapse, watching a tornado rip through a town, or watching a massive train wreck.

Damn, Kira! You didn't even have to mention lizards! Now it seems questioning Dr. Himmel's authority is all it takes!

Geckos? Can we mention geckos? What about monitors? Komodo Dragons?

Crap! I just spewed soda out my nose!!!

The Anthrax series was by far the most painful inject i have ever experienced and the weird part was each one was different. #1 hurt, #2 i didn't feel anything, #3 was a lil painful, #4 sent me crying for a while and #5 and #6 were so painful i just remember laying in my bunk until i was out. I got an epidural for the birth of my son but when i had my daughter the epidural was administered poorly and was only affecting one side of me and that was not a good feeling at all. I clearly remember the part of the doc telling me to lay on my side and let it "creep across", while i was having labor pains. Government health care yay! But really, i am thankful i had both my kids in the Navy, the bill for childbirth is like 15k.

Way to go on serving for 20 years!

Pretty soon Debra will be allllll alone on the Forums and wondering why nobody is posting any more.

Am I on your list yet, Debra dear? If not, please put me there. I'd hate to say anything else to disturb your warped and wacky worldview.

Not that I need to. Following your insane beliefs will, IMO, soon make you a candidate for the Darwin Awards.

Obviously, if she's the only one posting, she has won!

I've decided to keep you as my pet. I won't be putting you on my ignore list.

Honestly? The way a majority of the 'regulars' treat people here, that might be a GOOD thing.

If you eat garlic and take vitamin B1, all the mosquito's will pick another target. They don’t like it.



One of my ambitions is to own my own organic farm. It won’t have any animals, but not because I don’t like meat, I just never eat much. I want to have one that is large enough to also feed a lot of the local population. Maybe do something like all the food you want but help with the farming a little. I just want it to break even.



It’s important to make your own. It’s not difficult and doesn’t take long. The colloidal silver you can buy in the shops will probably not work as the silver will no long be in suspension in the water because the product is likely to be older than 3 months. This does not apply however to the Super Silver product which will last for a few years and I only use when I do have something as I do not take the colloidal silver each day.

If you use colloidal silver in the final rinse of you clothes washing, you will find that they stay fresher for longer because some of the silver particles will end up in the fabric.



If you are going to take vaccines, be warned that taking colloidal silver will kill the virus in the vaccine so no anti bodies will form if the vaccines do work.

I have a friend who had to get hepatitis B or C vaccinations because she was working with old people. However, she didn’t really want to take it. So she would take the Super Silver just before and after she had the vaccine. They would then check a few months later to see if anything had happened, maybe for anti bodies and then give the second vaccine in the course. They never found anything because the Super Silver killed it. They tried several times and then gave up.



Actually, I enjoyed reading your post Ceka.

we cant get sick in here!

Argh. Again with the clique?

You're wrong, Melita. MOST people who come to these forums get help and a warm welcome.

Some come looking for a fight, and they find what they're looking for.

Some come trolling to stir up controversy. All too often, they succeed. I've fed trolls myself, darn it.

Some are just plain looney. You can say anything you want to them, be it sound and reasoned advice or rude insult, and the result will be the same: more looniness.

I stand by my assessment. Debra is a loon. That won't stop me from teaching her to texture a prim or edit an attachment, but darned if I'll waste any more time listening to her wacky conspiracy theories.

No 'clique' just contagious behavior. And a certain amount of territoriality that bears frequent self 'checks' to avoid.

Whatever one's opinion of someone they can be treated at least with courtesy, or if that is not possible somehow, with avoidance.

Ganging up on someone because one finds their views out in left field is - well I am feeling really disillusioned with this whole spectacle. Granted, self restraint goes both ways. Debra could've chosen not to post things like Alvaro quoted by her. But enough with the lizard stuff, everybody, I mean, it's just mean. It's like blood sport now.

/me starts singing from The Mikado

And if Debra DOES happen to feel paranoid or anxious, what is this type of ganging up on, going to do? There are real people behind the avs, whether we like what theories they hold, or websites they read, or not.

Oh, damn, Veritable! Sucks to be you!

Hmmm.

All right. I can admit when I've been an ass. Melita, I apologize to you and to the thread for contributing to the "piling on".

Doesn't change my opinion of the person in question, though. The best I can do is keep my mouth shut, and I'll do that.
