Help of a different kind

You do not have to shout as denoted by your use of capital letters. We hear you.

You do not have to vibrate, since we have 10,000 feet of overburden in Saskatchewanto to protect ourselves from the earthquake reaction you're displaying. We feel you.

You do not have to call us stupid because we don't agree with your reaction.

You do have to be a responsible parent, and it's not being shown.

I'm saying to you that the easy way is to give the shot to the front line nurses, many of them called back from retirement baby boomers who are administering the program. They may have immunity without using up your shot, but no one will ever know. If you want to complain, direct your efforts to this, and not to the speed of delivery of doses.

You know checking this was demoted to "childish debate" the minute you raised the "don't know what to prescribe" line. It's carried on by us both from there, hard to describe on paper emotions but I am not shouting or vibrating. I am looking into the possibility of being able to just go buy this vaccine apparently you can just have to find the details. I have spoke to many people over the last while, consensus is more than majority of people believe this;

The vaccine and past immune build up will protect those, from this point on by the time the other vaccine gets here those not immune by those means will likely contract the disease. So realistically the vaccine debate is over. What it will do who knows but it is more severe than the other flu to those such as kids young people vulnerable people. Wards of hospitals are full our local pharmacy pretty much sold out from aspirin to tylenal everything in between. Bottom line the disease beat the vaccine in terms of time. People are not so worried until it's there own child or significant other that's affected. Those in charge will be judged on this issue but time will tell how much. My opinion is that this was and is as they say a complete clusterf$$k of responsibility this is not 1918 this 2009. People in charge of this thing either fix their incompetance or give em at least the boot. Still don't understand the comment about being a poor parent given the facts but I don't care think what you want. Unless you have something that's actually an answer to the questions I raised, I am not going to waste time responding, have better things to do drying grain and making snowmen with the kids.

Now you're coming around to my philosophy. If you want to end a disagreement, tell the other party they may have a point. It'll make them feel better, and you'll still know they are your #10! That post was funny, by the way.

Question Period, CTV today, confirmed that a $2000.00 paid membership fee into a medical club gets you a queue jumping shot into two tier medicine. They could not get our dear Dr. David chief health administrator to admit that that was just plain wrong.

If you believe the BC hotline (no, not the sex line) 1 in 3 Canadians will catch this flu.

My farm worker suspects he came down with it four weeks back, and has no intention of receiving the shot when it does arrive. He will never know.

A type 1 diabetic under 65 asked for the shot. She didn't qualify. Her out, if she takes it, is that she could get it immediately through her husband's employment plan in the U.S. Go figure!

I have no idea, in my wee youth, if I was exposed to this same type of virus. I'm prepared to take my reasoned chances, my choice. Like West Nile, I still won't go out at dusk, and sit by a slough to tempt fate.

Happy drying - god I hope that wasn't a mistake to say.

no it wasn't a mistake to say about the drying. I can't believe I am wishing for more rain to take the snow away just so I can have a chance at drying some more. Hopefully h1n1 will not effect you or yours, good day!
