I'm a pragmatist, and I belie
ve in being methodocial, considering all options, and acting with conviction. I will be getting vaccinated against H1N1 because my pragmatism have helped me to reach the conclusion that its the best option. I hear there are risks, but I am sick of the media spin on the potential risks. I do agree that this whole pandemic has been sensationalized and that the world is way too caught up in the sudden bombardment of this potential lethal threat. At the same token, I do not appreciate the counter spin put on by the media, in regards to the risks of getting the shot. There are always risks in taking any sort of medication, or vaccination. Take the Advil, or Tylenol that is commonly taken by millions of people every year and read the side affects. The only reason why there is no fear in taking such benign medicine, is because there isn't a media sensationalism on the risk of taking said medicines. What really offends me, is when the media implies that some doctors are advising not to get the vaccination. Those doctors, are probably nut cases, or some reporter got word from a chiropractor who doesn't believe in getting vaccinated. I also know that there is some concern in regards to how fast the vaccinated has been put out. Does anyone really have a choice? Thank god for the fact that modern medicine does exist and we have the ability to act quickly to create a vaccine. If we have the means of maintaining our health, at every opportunity use it, there are millions that don't have that chance.Obvi!
