Just want to know what your opinions are on the swine/mexican flu.
Has or is anyone experienced/experiencing it?

At the moment I'm quite ill. Not saying it's mexician flu, but it sure ain't pretty.

If everyone took the vaccine the spreading would come to a full stop. In my belife the vaccine isn't mainly to protect the ones with perfect health but to protect the risk groups, if also all the healthy ones took the shot it would stop from spreading to the risk groups aswell.

I don't think this angle ever was in the media; that one should take the shot to protect others and not themselves first. The angle has been to scare people into taking it, which makes folks evaluate "do I really need it for my own sake?". But probably led to a lot more taking the vaccine compared to saying "99% of the population don't need it t protect their own health, but please take the vaccine anyway to protect the risk groups". Who's number one? Appealing to peoples sympathy for others would probably lead to noone except the risk groups themselves taking the vaccine. Sad as it seems. dry.gif


From that aspect NOT taking the vaccine concidering one doesn't need it is very selfish. Maybe not realizing the purpose is to fully stop the spread and not protect you and you and you and you who already are healthy but to stop it from spreading to risk groups where there for a fact will be causalties. People will die.
I urge everyone who can think further than to themselves to take the vaccine. Because if everyone does that, we can later pat our backs and say we helped saving XX or XXX number of people from dying. It takes 30-60 minutes until you're back home again, I think it's worth it.


I usually don't tell people what they should do but in this case I see too many who has interpreted it as being all about themselves and their own health when it's actually about stopping the spread from reaching others. Everyone that doesn't take the shot gives the flu free passage.
Put yourselves aside and take the vaccine for the sake of the people who for a fact will die if they get the flu, even if you don't know them! smile.gif
