Don’t buy into this vaccination B.S..

The swine flu was first found in humans in 1918. The first (I believe) swine/H1N1 vaccination was used on millions of Americans in 1976 and is the cause of neurological problems for many of those people.

Swine flu is NOT as bad as the media wants you to think. Any person with a relatively-good immune system can overcome it without any problem.

Do you really trust what is in this vaccine? I have never had a flu shot and I won’t be starting with this one. This is nothing more than a money-making scheme for the companies producing these so-called “vaccines”.

The article above mentions a new vacine for the dangerous Swine Flu. Many families are terrified that either themselves or their loved ones will get this disease and nothing will end well. Some people were considering wearing masks on heir face and rubber gloves on their hands. However, the most effecive preventation of the Swine Flu is to wash your hands with soap or alcohol based hand sanitizer. The Swine Flu seems to appear in at colleges and universities around the country. Since the doctors are still working on the new vaccines for the Swine Flu, the death rate due to Swine Flu will decrease dramatically once the vaccine is out on the market.
This will greatly effect the community, the whole world and myself. If the vaccine that is being created works then everyone I know, all my friends and family memebers will be safe from this terrible disease. Tbe Swine Flu is a scary disease that can change a persons life very quickly, knowing that there is a vaccine being made and will come out soon then I won’t need to worry about getting sick. I also won’t need to worry about my friends and family members getting sick and losing them because of a terrible disease. This article affected me in many ways, mainly making me feel better and safer and healthier.

A new vaccine for the swine flu (H1N1) has been approved in the US. there is an abundant supply because production lines are efficient. The flu season has just begun, and there has already been a death of a college student from this flu. Although this person died early on, the death toll of the Swine flu are appearing to be lower in the near future. The United States is not the only country dealing with the swine flu.

This vaccine impacts me greatly. the community is most affected by the vaccine. this means there is less of a chance of me or somebody i know getting the Swine flu. we need to realize that this is not the end of the flu, and that was still have to be precautious of the way we spread germs. Supporting the article, we need to start washing our hands more and in greater conscience. I am sometimes guilty of not washing my hands correctly, so this article made me realize how important washing your hands can be. the “hype” about the swine flu has caused many people to be overconcerned. This has good and bad sides to it. this will cause people to follow procedures for overcoming the flu, but it also puts hardship in the heart of Americans. Hopefully the Swine Flu is oversome by a healthy environment, so MY school doesn’t have to get shut down!!!

Summary:
Vaccines for the swine flu have been approved in the U.S. and production lines are are cranking, making plenty for everyone. Flu season has already begun, and a college student has already died from flu related complications even though the swine flu rate is likely to be lower this year.

Opinion:
I believe that everyone should be cautious of flu season. It is easily spread and as said in the article, we all need to wash our hands. It is also important to try and not to touch your face because hand-to-face contact has surprising impact on health. I think this article is informative about the newly released vaccine, and also gives good tips for how to prevent flu. At the same time I think swine flu has been blown out of proportion and has kind of created panic. Even though we should be cautious of the flu, I do not think the media should have made it such a scare. If we take care of our health, we are doing the best we can to prevent flu.

If there is a die off, can you finally see the stars at night? Will the sky be as blue as it was on 9/12, and 13? Will they move the thundering flightpath from over my apartment when the lines go down at O’hare? Will the filth and stench of our urban places diminish when so d___ many of us aren’t there to pollute them?

Good luck suckers, I’m goin fishing.
