id rather not take a so-called vaccine, which is a more or less mortus version of the virus, which has so many ill released press about it, when the flu changes EVERY DAMN YEAR. sorry, but how can something be called a vaccine if it is rendered ineffective in 8~12 months? sorry. plus, the preservative versions have mercury in it. mercury, which is bad for you in large quantities. besides, its just a flu. we have one every year. im not buying into all this hype.
and this is according to my (rather cool and awesome (thanks for taking my rough draft of my final paper 1.5 months late w/o ANY point deductions!)) history professor who made this statement last class. towards the end of the roman empire and the rise of the dark ages, there was a plague that broke out. during the process the roving bands of nomads that lived in that time were not as affected by it and caused a minute mutation in their DNA, which if found present in a person today (of caucasian decent so far as i know via this short blip she made), renders them immune to AIDS/HIV entirely. if thats the case, then why should i, who has been exposed to the swine flu several times from various sources of infection, both work and family as well as school, bother taking the vaccine at all if over the course of 3 months ive yet to contract a single symptom of any flu, especially when i work outside in the cold without what can be deemed "proper and appropriate" warm attire? if i can survive the cold and the exposure, i have more than enough faith in my immune system to be able to handle whatever it comes into contact with with relative ease.
