CLOUT!

Another Doc chiming in. I have to say, I'm incredibly disappointed by the quality of discourse on this topic of vaccinations. I've been a progressive since the 1968 police riots, but I have to be honest with myself and allow that this discussion has been as biased as what you might typically hear from Insanity Hannity. Greene is not so subtly dissing anyone who calls in with a pro-vaccine stance, even though it seems pretty obvious he doesn't know the difference between the novel H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine and the seasonal flu vaccine. Or that there is no thimerosol in a live virus vaccine. Or that vaccines merely trigger an immune response and don't "suppress" the immune system. Or for that matter that there really are far more young people that will tragically die from this influenza ( allbeit fewer most likely than die each year from the seasonal flu) than are going to be injured by this vaccine. Wasn't it bad enought that the mainstream media whipped us into a paranoid froth about this virus? Does a respected member of the progressive media have to add an ignorant, unsubstantiated witch hunt to the coverage? And I thought Beck was a paranoid kook!

Hi-I am a physician, I went to get my shot while travelling a few weeks ago in Australia, because the sooner one gets it, the less likely to get sick. I am advising my family to get the shot as soon as possible. People will happily talk on their cellphones while driving, causing great danger to themselves and others, while the h1n1 shot has a risk of one in a million of serious side effects. Hundreds of people will die of the flu. This is not the same swine flu shot as the one given in 1976. The argument that you are injecting foreign things into your body is ridiculous. There is thimersol in a certain variety of the vaccine for multiple injections, but you can request the single shot vials if you think you are in danger from the thimersol. Pasteur proved in the distant past that injecting a minute quantity of killed virus will prevent the patient from getting the virus, and possibly save your life. The people who are afraid of the vaccine are misinformed and afraid of the wrong thing. It is the swine flu that's scary, not the vaccine.

yes the president should take on Fox News, commentary really. because not only do they have people like Hannity, Beck, Oreilly, and the rest, but it is what they push as news stories, tea baggers, ACORN, you know why they really went after ACORN? for one it was a distraction, ACORN pushed for living wages,
do you think they will go after the Republicans for Rape with the same zeal? I think not, how about the missing billions in Iraq. when they report they have already decided, even Michael Savage will tell you that, and he will admit that it is one of their news outlets.

Sounds like a Damn infomercialIf I wanted that I would get a TV
