I heard today that “swine flu” shots will be for folks between 15-35 years of age. I’m worried about my parents (in their 80’s). Good Doc said that they not be in the range for the swine shots......

I heard awhile back that older folks (that's me) probably have been exposed to it some time in their life and carry anti bodies. Or it could be Oh'bozo practicing "culling the herd"

Yeah..., the ones who are old enough to have had experience with the 1918 H1N1 flu pandemic... :-)

I think the older you get, the less susceptible you are to the government’s hype.

How quick would you get in line if they said you HAD to take it?

Does anybody really trust the government anymore? I don't.

The last time the swine flu hit, in the 70s, the old folks were first in line for the shot. Now they try to feed us the b.s. that old folks already have immunity.

Sure.

We old goats probably have not been exposed to this version h1n1.

The word from the CDC is supposedly younger people (preschool, school and college age) will be the group hit the heaviest by the h1n1.

The Air Force Academy was recently hit with over 100 cases. The female AF doc did what the military has done before with infectious diseases. The documented cases and those exposed were isolated and kept in isolation until the H1N1 had ran its course.

When I was in Navy Boot at Great Lakes, we had two meningitis cases. Our barracks floor and the one below were kept in strict isolation with very serious and armed Marine Guards. One boot died and the other recovered. The rest of us received sulfa drugs as prophy, and there were no more cases. It was not a fun time.

People our age supposedly aren’t in danger from h1n1.

Make sure your pneumonia shots are up todate and get the flu shot for the regular fall/winter/spring flu..
