H1N1

My friend Dr Ottematic has written a couple of great articles on the H1N1 vaccine controversy.

Here’s her latest post:

Please folks. Educate yourself on the risks of getting the vaccine as well as the risks of not getting the vaccine.  There are several links on the internet by credible sources, many of which are linked in the blog post above.

Personally, I believe that the risks associated with not getting the vaccine are far greater than having one, and I will be having one.

    No problem! I find it quite frightening that people are making decisions based on psuedo-science, Hollywood celebrity and rumors that they’ve been hearing.

    At least a hundred persons in our city have been infected with the H1N1 virus. I was very scared to get infected with this disease during the pandemic,`.

    H1N1 in reality is not that very deadly at all, it is just a nuisance disease:*~

    While I agree that it was perhaps overblown in North America, I don’t think calling a virus that “According to the latest World Health Organization statistics, (it) has killed more than 18,000 people since it appeared in April 2009″ (source) a nuisance :)
