Ok so they released the H1N1 vaccine in Alberta today. They had 4 clinics in Calgary, I heard 2500 people lined up at one clinic there, 6 hour wait. So the hypochondriacs and those that believe the media all run down there at once, somewhat chicken little, screaming that the sky is falling. My wife was going to go with our 16 month old today, I myself have never had a flu shot in my life, of course she was hounding me to go get a shot too. I have looked into this quite extensively, the latest research is showing this is no worse than seasonal flu, and remember it's not the flu that kills you, it's generally a secondary infection, liken pneumonia.

Anyway I have convinced my wife that I think it's a bad idea, I know 4 or 5 folks who already had swine flu, including my boss who was in Mexico on business a few weeks back and came home with a flu, which was 99% swine flu. What are your thoughts people?
