A few months ago I blogged about the Swine Flu, and how everyone was getting all excited over another new flu to the extent that folks were putting up websites to track the outbreaks.

Now, the latest web buzz is all the craziness over whether or not to get the vaccine. As with any new vaccine, there are those that are leary of getting it, and you can find any amount of information on the web to convince you that you never, ever want to get another flu shot, lest you end up with GBS or worse. Unless you are in the “get the shot” camp. Then you can search the internet and discover endless bounties of information and testimonials that prove that every single person absolutely must get the vaccine or we are all doomed.

You gotta love the fact that the web has taken the ‘conspiracy theory’ to a whole new level. Used to be that there were quiet groups or individuals that would put out flyers, newpaper articles, or whatever means they had available to them to warn folks of impending doom. Now that you can do it on the web, mostly for free, they are coming out of the woodwork, from all sides!

All kidding aside, the h1n1 is a flu, most people who get it will be fine. If you are sick, stay away from people! As for whether or not to get the vaccine, you decide…
Yikes! Keep that needle away from me!
I’ll never get another shot!
OR
Where’s my vaccine???!!!
I want my pig flu shot!
