Bill Maher is also in favor of children dying of infectious diseases.

Seriously, a fucking Kennedy? Aren't they supposed to be the sane ones?

No, they're supposed to be the popular ones.

Obama's kids aren't vaccinated.

Just sayin.

a coworker of mine, otherwise rational, buys the "there sure seem to be a lot of good arguments" line from the anti-vaccine folk.

I want to punch him in the nads.

Jim Carrey is a douche and we should have revoked his passport long ago and watched him freak out as his Visa expired and he got kicked out into the ocean by his beloved America.

Just sayin.

I have had a fairly large number of people ask me if I think it's safe for them to get the vaccine....

First off I have no idea why they'd ask me. They did though. So I tell them that adverse side effects are very rare and that it is simply the smart thing to do. Then I tell them to go hit the CDC website or the national institute of health website.

As an Ironic side note, there was a big stink about the 1976 swine flu vaccine too and one thing they are finding now is that those who got the 1976 vaccine are still getting some protection from the current outbreak. Although they too should get the new vaccine.

i blame glenn beck, and his standard "the government is going to kill you line"

although i note he is getting all foxy, and refusing to state whether or not he is getting vaccinated, and letting everyone else use their judgment. any takers on a bet that he was standing in line waiting when the first batches came out? he's an idiot, but i'll bet he knows damn well it's safe, and he's not going to chance his health - but he'll sure let other people take the risk for his ideology.

my aunt, who despite being a basically nice lady actually listens to that jerk, is not sure she is going to get the h1n1 vaccine, although she has already gotten the regular flu shot. her daughter, who works part-time in a medical clinic that was pretty well swamped with flu cases this last week, is the same way - regular flu shot good, h1n1 (made exactly the same way) not so much. i asked her why, and she didn't have a reason....just, she didn't think she was going to do it.

he's not behind it, but he's sure pushing it.

....which i guess means he _is_ behind it, sort of, because you have to be behind to push. but he didn't start it.

........which i guess is why he has to push, if it won't start.

DAMN YOU GLENN BECK, YOU ARE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!
