to dismiss the threat outright is pretty foolish.

Like those who hang around when a CAT 5 approaches because the last one didn't hit.

Have a question for you. Notice an upswing this year of those concerned over vaccinations and/or dismiss the threat?

I am not making a judgement on those who do have objections to vaccines on various grounds. Remember when Dan Burton almost punched out Dick Armey over thimerosal. It is a legitimate debate.

However....I've never seen so much anti-vax rhetoric before. Brings out the cynic in me. Remember a few years ago when a foreign supplier had to trash its vaccine and start over? Liberals and the media went wild. Bush was going to kill the elderly because they would not get their flu shot.

For months Obama's HHS has been telling us we would have over 100 million doses by early fall. We won't. Probably not half what the HHS claimed. What vaccine will be here will be rationed. The elderly won't get it.

Could it be that the left is ramping up the anti-vax rhetoric to obscure the fact the HSS and Obama have been derelict? Liberals certainly aren't out bemoaning the fact the elderly will not get it when they should. I've even seen leftists claim the elderly are immune (some many have some immunity but as a group they are not immune).

What are the side effects of thimerosol and squalene (sp)?

A lot of the anti-vax rhetoric comes from the fact that a fair number of people believe it is linked to autism, and there is a lot of autism awareness. I hear PSAs all the time about autism, the odds of a child being autistic, etc. Then we're seeing a lot of stories about how the swine flu vaccine during the Ford years caused a few severe reactions.

I'm sure if it later appears that our gov't acted slowly that there will be no shortage of excuses for Obama and the Dims. It's seeme to me that both our gov't and the WHO have tried to cover themselves with rhetoric while taking no action other then raising the alerts, declaring a pandemic, etc.,

I don't take flu vaccines simply because I've only had a real case of the flu once as a child. Have flu-like symptoms, but no full, several days in bed illness since that one case as a kid. This time I'll just see what develops and then decide what to do when a vaccine might be available to me. Probably won't take it unless this becomes a very deadly flu with frequent respiratory complications.

Can you say a complete lack of trust in the government and ALL related activities?
