With Christmas and family gatherings on the horizon, we might be in for one really terrible flu season since the viruses are already so active. Schools and workplaces will be the playing fields after the New Year.

"its simple...wash your hands..."

Actually, wash your hands AND stay home when you're sick. Germs can also be transmitted in the air from coughing on and around you. Covering your cough helps, but many don't even seem to do that.

Sigh, what do you want to bet a significant number of these parents wouldn't let their children have the flu shot? They choose to ignore the science and listen to the uninformed parents who just KNOW that THEIR child had something really BAD happen due to the flu shot.

How many of you have seen people /kids that are doing ok, then get the flu/superimposed pneumonia and then , because their immune system is compromised, septic? I have and it is scary and sad to watch these individual litterly fighting for their lives, and some do not make it. A flu shot and proper handwashing , among other controls ( sick, stay HOME) can actually save lives. BUT, there is the human fact, everyone thinks they are invincible, sorry but ignorance is overwhelming in the world we live in. SAD!

there are 80-160 CASES (not deaths from) of GBS yearly reported that may or may not have been linked to vaccination status according to the CDC.gov website. in 2009 there were 282 pediatric DEATHS from h1n1.

compare the yearly death rates from flu virus to the yearly death rates from rare vaccine complications. not even close. but each is entitled to their own opinion. hope you fare well this year.
