Swine Flu

This seems to be all the rage these days. One of my friends asked me if I had gotten a flu shot. I said no and that I had no intention of getting one. The risks are way too high. There are reports out there that are claiming millions will die from swine flu. In fact, the people who have died from swine flu are those with a compromised immune system to begin with. It's not normal healthy people who die from the swine flu.

Those whose immune system is not strong are more prone to get any infectious disease and are more likely to not be able to fight the disease because of their compromised immune system.

I would say the risk for you to develop a complication from the vaccine are greater than your risk of getting the swine flu.
