Cedar Rapids Don't blindly fall in line for H1N1 vaccine
Nov. 24, 2009 11:50 pm
In a herd of sheep, there is one sheep that wears a bell. When the bell sheep moves, others follow. Just like many people do.
I'm an independent thinker. I do not follow. When the president says he wants to change things, I ask what does he want to change. I do not blindly follow.
In regard to the H1N1 vaccine that the president wants us to take, which I don't think is fully tested, the president and the first lady have not received their vaccination.
I believe he is not taking the vaccine because he knows the dangers.
I asked a doctor if the H1N1 vaccination was safe. He replied we will not know until the public gets the vaccine and we can follow up on side effects.
