I don't think they will. My son attended a middle that had a swine flu case, and they did even tell parents until after the fact.

The last time the US Govt tried a vaccination campaign on swine flu, they killed 26. The virus only killed 1.

Would that be the same government that wants us to trust our health care to?

Its the government that already runs several health care programs that are failing people miserably, Medicaid, Medicare, and Veterans. Programs that they keep saying we just need to put more money into. More money, that always works. Not.

I'll get a swine flu shot if its from the same batch that congress gets!

2 points of contention on that link - guillan barre syndrome (gbs) does not affect the brain. all "flu" (influenza) vaccines, have a risk of gbs...

what happened in 1976 was an increase in the incidence of gbs... ie a hell of a lot more cases than expected...

so your question really should be, should i get any influenza shot at all, whether for "swine" flu or not.

add to that, when you look at statistics, influenza kills a lot of people every year... so, is "swine" flu really killing any more people than any other flu... the answer becomes very debatable, as one of the reasons this was caught is that the flu season seemed to be a lot longer this year, which got researchers looking into it...

at the end of the day, researchers and scientists found that this new strain of "swine" flu was detectable in the population back in august, and likely many years before that...
