Did you know that for about 5% of the people who get the flu vaccine every year it is ineffective? So for those of you who are freaking out that you have swin flu, there's a good chance that it's not!

Ah, yes, a thread about vaccines. Our family has problems with vaccines. I've never gotten any, and I've never had any dreadful infectious diseases or even caught the flu! The reason we don't get vaccines in our house is because of what happened one time when one of my dad's cousins got a vaccine. He was born as a perfectly normal baby, but when he received a vaccination it gave him a seizure disorder. (I think. I thought it was something else, but I'll have to check with my dad.

Yes, I've heard sometimes something like that can happen.

Oh no, not vaccines! I'm such a chicken when it comes to anything with needles...
And, again, for anyone who is still terrified by the whole swine flu thing, you really don't need to panic. I think it's under control now...
So get that pointy object away!
