Yay or nay aside, it bothers me that the media are (whether deliberately or inadvertently) running a pro-vaccination propaganda campaign. The swine flu isn't just a flu anymore, it's a media phenomenon with its own theme song and 3D graphic. It's an enemy as formidable as the Al-Quaeda -- silent, invisible, and able to strike anywhere at any time. It's just the latest media circus, and too many people are lining up to get vaccinated not because they've decided that it's the right choice, but because they're afraid. Hi Susan (wave wave)!

Can't imagine they have people whose prime training is to apply CPR, (CLEAR!), and tourniquets dealing with complex issues. What are they thinking? Didn't know what metastasize was - hell, I'm not even a hellth (not a typo) care worker and *I* know. Not acceptable. Great post.

I recently read an article by a Doctor who said that if this flu is not stopped in its tracks by people being vaccinated, we could be facing something like the Spanish Flu, post WWI. We have to protect ourselves and others. Sorry, Annie - bacterial wash just ain't enough. With you on this. Good post. I’m with Suzuki on this as well.
