twigby that's the worst joke ever.
she doesn't trust it because it's been produced really quickly and not tested properly, so basically it could make us all infertile/cancerous/the list goes on. like that vaccine in the 80s or whatever that messed up people's children. and yeah, she's a nurse so they're getting ready to BASICALLY do nothing but give people swine flu injections for the latter part of the year. PRETTY CRAZY.
Isn't this kind of like trying to shut the barn door after the cows are gone?
If this particular strain was going to wipe out humanity, it would have done so already.
And any future strains would probably be mutated to where a vaccine for this one would be useless.
In other words - WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.
well, here at least it's being expected to get worse going into the autumn/winter, and at the moment i'd say most people in this area of scotland know or know OF someone who has it. so i can see why the government are wanting to 'immunise' everyone, but it does seem a bit risky.
Considering how a new flu vaccine has to be developed and produced every year I don't think they're running a risk in developing this one quickly. Most flu vaccine mistakes are in the manufacture, which is pretty rare.

not that i have it or anything, but mum doesn't trust the government's plan to immunise the whole country.
