Swine Flu

[Guest guest]

Someone posted this in another group. How do you talk sense into these people?

" I agree that it isn't the governments place to mandate flu vaccinations but I

do believe that it is important the action be taken quickly against this

possibly evolving virus. I have read that this virus or a variant of it was

first found in the early 80's It was not able to reproduce it self and went

dormant until recently where it has managed to pick up additional genetic

information making it possible to spread person to person. If it continues to

evolve it could become a super virus and kill millions of people. Will the

pharmaceutical companies make money on the vaccine, definitely. Will people's

lives be saved? Well that is one question that no one can answer. It could be

that it never evolves enough to become anymore deadly than it currently is but

what if......That is the problem, the what ifs. I know that there are dangers to

any vaccine, but compared to the dangers of many of the viruses that we

currently vaccinate against I for one am glad that we no longer have small pox

or many of the other viruses that killed so many. I definitely believe that if

you have a reaction to a particular vaccine you should be more cautious but lets

not blow this thing up, they aren't trying to harm people but the help them. "
