The left loves to pride itself on its defense of “choice.” Unfortunately, the only choice they seem to actually believe you should be able to make on your own is the choice to have an abortion. If you decide to–gasp–have a child, then, in the eyes of the left, it’s up to the state to make your decisions for you. “It takes a village” and all that.
Why do we bring up that particular point? Well, let’s talk about swine flu. As much as the media is freaking out about swine flu, we’re actually pretty even-keeled over the whole thing – and we have a 7.5 month old. We're right in the supposed "target demographic" of this disease. But we find this whole hullabaloo ridiculously overblown. There is, however, something about the supposed swine flu pandemic we’re a bit leery of: not the disease itself, but the vaccine.
Last night on both Campbell Brown and Anderson Cooper 360, the vaccines were a big topic. Both hosts had doctors answering questions from viewers and giving general information about the vaccine, when it would be available, etc. on AC360, Dr. Sanjay Gupta stated, when asked about the availability of the vaccine:
“What's happening right now is sort of in this process, something known as finish and fill. All the safety testing has not been done yet. But they're still filling the bottles, and they're shipping them to the various centers so that as soon as those safety tests come back, they can start administering those doses.”

I am going to discuss the vaccine with my daughter’s pediatrician and my own Doctor and see what they say.
Boy this sounds just like the plot in Rainbow Six where the Shiva virus delivered at the Olympics would start the panic and the vaccine made by a company owned by a Soros type Eco-Billionaire would take care of the rest of the 99% of the population and “the planet would be saved”.
Medication time.
yikes that is scary
i read that pretty good the way the dealt with the ecowhackjobs too leaving them in the jungle with nothing
Probably the same writers.
It's providing a wag the dog diversion for the One.
They were one with nature.
Me too, especially because one of my daughters has asthma and the other has epilepsy and a heart arrythmia.
I should add that if my daughters did not have those problems, then I don’t think I would give them the vaccine. It doesn’t seem bad for healthy people.
i am also concerned for my folks
mom has diabetes and dad gets a specific treatment for his Arthritis that leaves his immunity to near zero for crying out loud
you keep getting conflicting reports on how bad this thing is i honestly dont know what to do so i figure ask a couple of Drs and take it from there
My dad has congestive heart failure. We went to visit him a few weeks ago (we’re in California, and he’s in Texas). The week before we were to leave, a bunch of the kids from our church that had gone to a Christian camp all came down with H1N1. My kids didn’t go the camp, so we all skipped church that week. We didn’t get sick or take anything to Texas with us.
I’ve added vitamin D to our regimen of vitamins. I’m trying to boost our immune systems naturally.
I’m thinking my kids will probably get exposed to the flu before the shot is available. They go to a Christian school, and lots of those kids all went to the Christian camp that had H1N1.
We’ll see how this thing pans out.
