Swine flu and you!!!

So now that we know that swine flu is nothing more than yet another version of the regular influenza virus, although novel, it’s now nothing more than an inconvenience. The worst thing about the winter isn’t the weather, it’s getting sick. Even worse than getting sick is that day before you are in the midst of feeling like hell, when you know deep down that your getting sick but you keep telling yourself that its probably something like allergies…yea allergies…in the winter.

The government released a statement that there could be as many as 40 million+ people who come down with novel H1N1. That’s not including the other more common Flu viruses circulating. All of which could be greatly reduced if we started enacting some sort of “Cause and Effect Laws”.


I’ll explain this in a moment, but let me first give you some of the most common excuses why not to get a flu shot.


1. There is a chance you could get sick from it right?


2. I don’t like needles!


3. It doesn’t work anyway, one year I got the shot and still got sick.


4. My immune system is strong enough without the shot; it’s just for old people.


So Back to my “Cause and Effect law idea”. We should institute mandatory flu shots for everyone. Are you required to take it if you don’t want…no, but when you get sick, and need medical attention, and they check if you recieved one and it says "you were to scared of needles"…well you can GFY. Because I’m sick of getting sick from dumb people.
