Sounds fun eh?

So, you move when the herd moves?

Ya.... That's kinda how the herd survives aint it? 500 million people died of small pox before the vaccine came out, and only the odd straggler who was too busy stairin at udders after it came out.

Sorry, I'm not livestock. I don't follow the herd becausae it's what the herd does. I am ME, I make my own choices. It's part of being an INDIVIDUAL.

Sure, maybe this N1H1 Vaccine is the best thing since sliced bread but I am not going to get it because someone says I HAVE to. in fact, if you tell me I have to do someting, I wil usually do just the opposite to prove to you that I don;t HAVE to.

The way the media hypes everyting up all the time just sickens me. yes they do treat the general populace like livestock. "Do what we say." "This is good fro you, that is bad" "Do this, Don;t do that"...............


OK, I'm gona stop myself here, I feel my blood pressure rising.

Wow.

I'm with Binare on this one. It's depressing that things have sunk to this level. I won't even comment on the asinine vaccine-autism connection - that's just ignorant sensationalism spurred on by the media (it's a conspiracy )

I can certainly see how the media has influenced people's decisions here. In one breath people are saying I won't get the shot just because the media is telling me I need to and then in the other they're basing their decision on media (including the internet) sensationalism to justify not getting the shot.

As a healthcare professional with database and journal subscriptions I have access to basically every online journal you can think of. The crux of the quality studies clearly suggest that not getting vaccinated will increase death rates in those most susceptible.

Those people who want to act as vectors and not get vaccinated are not only making a decision for themselves but willfully choosing to put others at risk. That is a fact. Now if you're comfortable doing this then it's certainly your prerogative. But I can only hope that one of you doesn't visit with your nieces or nephews over the holidays and potentially kill one of them.
