Swine flu: Patria not buying the fear-mongering
"This ain't 1918, folks"! That sums up Patria's take on the H1N1 (aka swine) flu fear-mongering. It's only a mild strain of flu, and for most people the worst that will happen is that they will get sick for a couple days, recover, and have a strengthened immune system. Don't worry, or don't worry too much. And don't be in a rush to get a H1N1 shot. Trust your own immune system more than any vaccine, particularly one that has been rushed into production without adequate research into potential side effects. The best way to prevent flu and stay healthy through the 2010 election campaign is to take the usual precautions (wash or sanitize hands frequently, cough/sneeze into your sleeve, avoid hanging out with sick people, stay home if you are sick, etc.) rather than inject some unproven and possibly toxic stuff into your body.
Patria vividly remembers the 1976 Swine Flu farce and the useless shots that didn't protect against what was hyped as a killer flu but stuck millions of Americans with Guillain-Barre paralysis. Just another brutal experience in the 40th Congress (1974-1978).
