Hi Tami, I had to have flu shots when I worked, or I would have my hours reduced. Talk about dangling the carrot. I don't work now, but am getting a series of shots over the next few months from the Naturopath to boost my immune system, rather than a flu shot. The body needs to be strong to fight these things, not add more chemicals to it....

Yes, I've noticed that it's been super hyped everywhere. From what I always understood, flu shots were primarily geared for the very young and the elderly. And that's because they were less able to fight off a flu. I've never received a flu shot and probably won't any time soon. I take enough meds for hypertension and don't feel the need to add more chemicals to my system. Seems to me that overall health is more important than this vaccine.

I hope what I've said will reach more people. Have you noticed that they even have it timed to when the "thing" will hit. On our news they've practically got it down to the exact hour. Precautions of course for any flu season, but this is so over the top, I can only hope people will take a step back and think longer before acting out of fear.

Great post! I'm a MS microbiologist and all of this hype over H1N1 is just driving me crazy. yet, it can make you sick. and it can get away from you if you aren't careful. but I agree --- this is all money money money.

vaccines have a relative safety level to begin with... let alone a rushed one! thanks for the links. good discussion pieces.

Hi Shashi, People really need to educate themselves on these things and everything in general, but particularily when it comes to someone injecting things in their bodies. Don't take it on faith, check it out....

I agree with you Ramona, this swine flu thing has been blown out of proportion. My Dh is a transplant patient so we have some concern over it but we take the extra precautions needed on hygiene. There are no swine flu injections available here in UK and as far as we know will there be.
