Let's take the emotional feeling out of the context of our discussion concerning the swine flu vaccine.
Now, lets use or brains. I'm an avid fan of logical reasoning.
Let's look at just a couple of facts.
We have already been told there will not be enough swine flu vaccine to vaccinate every human on earth. How can it be made mandatory?
This virus moves fast and is starting it's second season, without mutating. There seems to be no swine flu season like the normal seasonal flu.
I will take the swine flu vaccine. But adventure is in my blood anyway. There is something very exciting and refreshing to live life on the edge.
It sure seems to me that the ones not wanting the vaccine have turned into sheeple.
The government did an excellent job of creating fear of the vaccine.
Think about it.....when do you become a sheeple?
Not a sheeple at all. Had the flu a couple of months ago. My family and I are now "immune". The media is hyping the point that in order to stay
safe against this mythical mutation they need to take the vaccination.
But logic dictates that the vaccination would be worthless against a mutation. The vaccine induces the immune response to specific IgM/IgG receptors
on the virus surface. Mutations (when they occur) happen to those surface areas on the virus. They would have to spend months just to create a new
vaccine to allow for the correct immune response to those "mutated" receptors.
If the flu stays the way it is, low mortality, low infection rate, then this would actually decrease the death rate among those infected.
It would actually be better than the normal "seasonal" flu. It's the media hype that is driving this turkey.
