Epi - not sure what country or planet you're from - but do you know anyone that has or ever had POLIO or SMALL POX? Ever wonder why you don't know anyone?

I don't get your type, Steve. Somehow the person who chooses not to get the vaccine is responsible for transmitting it to someone else who didn't get the vaccine. How about you blame the person who got it and didn't get the vaccine?
I'm willing to risk getting H1N1; if you're not willing, then get the shot and don't blame me if I give you the flu. |

Real Bingo - I don't get your type either 
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. |

By the way - who here knew about the 1976 'scare'? |

I will be getting the shot...Thanks for your concern.
And I hope you don't kill anyone you love or know or work with or stand in line with at the burger hut. Sure, they could have gotten Vaccinated, but since they didn't, there's no reason you have to be the one responsible for their death.
Sixty Minutes had a pretty good line last night comparing the vaccine with seat belts..."Ya just never know when you'll need one." |

And just like with seat belts, you can increase your chances of survival if you wear one. Not wearing one won't cause the other guy to die - if he doesn't wear his seat belt and dies, that's his own fault.
Take responsibility for your own actions. If I die because of H1N1, I'm not going to hold the transferor responsible. |

Seems like most people aren't getting it. I have an inherent distrust in whatever the government says; if they tell me to do something, most likely I'll do the opposite - and I feel that many others feel the same way. And this 1976 fiasco kind of backs that up. |

1976 was way before you were born...and as mentioned above, there hasn't been a large deal since 1976...
Did you get shots for Polio and Small Pox so you could attend public schools? If so WHY? |

| I think it's pretty self-explanatory. I - or rather, my parents - were compelled to. I know I'm 'up-to-date' for the immunizations...I presume polio and smallpox are two of them. |
