So many of these H1N1 vaccines have come into canada... not kidding... something like 2 million flu shots are going be available and 'most' people in the 'top 6' categories of importance... namely children under 5, pregnant women, healthcare workers etc etc will get priority and shots up until Christmas.
Oh My Goodness. People have gone insane.
I know its important to be vaccinated against certain diseases and preventative measures are always wiser than reactionary measures for any problems... however... its just amazing how much fear has gripped people...
i still believe that more people die from the regular flu every year than so far has occurred with this strange strain of flu virus.
more people die from heart problems, cancer, aids and the rest, but you do not tend to see world wide proportions of cigarette banning or crackdowns on childhood obesity or ensuring correct educational resources are provided to those most vulnerable to certain ailments.
i'll get off my soapbox for now, but I guess our world has all its problems lopsided...
This might cause a few scorned respondents...
but if people really believe in Darwinism... would you think that H1N1 is just another way to weed out for survival of the fittest?
Truth be told... we're ALL going to die someday....
Mind you, I havent personally said that I believe any of the crap i just wrote, but I do seriously wonder where we put our energies sometimes in saving our world. Meanwhile... people die needlessly day after day in war-torn and impoverished nations... or even in our own backyards... but somehow, somewhere in the 'west' they'll spend billions of dollars over a strain of flu that may or may not infect you and in fact, you may or may not die from and lets face it... these shots do not actually PREVENT you from catching it!! It might just slow the virus down...
Ok. my rant here is done.
ps. i still feel sorry for the poor pigs who have now been ostracized for spreading something thats a little scary....
