I saw a poll on Fox News asking if you would take the vaccine 57% of those who polled said no. It is just downright ignorant in my mind, why would you not protect your family or yourself? I am still worried because my 4 year old has not had the second dose yet.
Hopefully enough people will get the vaccine to bring this flu down to levels like we see with the yearly flu strains.

Your right death is better, that drug might have some pretty severe side effects.

If there was a pandemic do you think it would be downplayed or blown out of proportion (Given the state of the economy, I suspect downplayed.)? Honestly now, step back for a minute.

For your information, I caught the Beijing Flu back in '93 or '94 and it was anything but mild. I was on my back for nearly four days. And I recovered. Do I want to become vaccinated since reportedly a mutated version of the Hong Kong Flu (i.e. avian flu) is found within this current one? Not really. At this point, given the conflicting views in the medical profession, I'm leaning towards taking my chances rather than create a precedent. And I want you to think about that word, because it's important.
If you volunteer to take the vaccine, fine. Your choice. However, if vaccination becomes mandatory as they are talking about, then what you are essentially doing is setting yourself up to say 'yes sir!' to taking a mandatory shot to every subsequent variation of the disease that will come about. And they will come about.
And once the general populace says yes to mandatory vaccination over and over and it seems mundane, then I'm sorry but you become little more than a farm animal yourself. And we all know what happens to farm animals.
Lest you think I'm paranoid about government wanting to kill us, it's because I have my own family history to back it up: I'm Native American and our own Canadian Government purposely sent my forefathers on our reserves smallpox ridden blankets to try to wipe us out. They were trying to murder us. With the information on 9/11 and other wars, I've come to realize that heck - people in power aren't even really out to protect their own - they'll kill each other off if it suits them just for increased power or wealth.
Be brave. Read through the lines and ask yourself who benefits from all this if it goes through. This flu has not yet killed that many people. Media will ramp up the pressure, and since massive amounts of money were spent in acquiring the vaccines to begin with, we all know that few people in power spend money without wanting to see some kind of return. In other words, they'll want to make sure the vaccine gets used and not be locked up in a warehouse - whether it's safe or not.
Like another poster above said, I prefer to wait a year or two and see how much hoopla happens in regards to the adjuvents.
