What are the concerns surrounding the H1N1 vaccine?
That was the summer of...
But this time, just as the virus is about to metastasize, a breakthrough. The FDA today approved swine flu vaccine. We're safe. Hail Zeus, the Greek god of timely pharmaceutical research. Back to your homes, people. Nothing to see here. The H1N1 vaccine will finally become available. Is it safe? We finally contain the swine flu outbreak. But can we contain the doubt break?
What are you doing to us? Is this a deadly poison? Is the vaccine a deadly poison? And are we running out of it? Will you take the vaccine? Give it to your children. How much do you trust your government? I think that's the main question.
Wait, when did that become the main...
I always thought the main question was, does the vaccine promote the growth of H1N1 antibodies that could help ward off infection? I think the virus is more interested in killing you than the government is. But I guess I'm just one of those pasteurized milk drinkers, you know. I'm sure the vaccine isn't perfect. Science certainly isn't perfect. But does everything have to be so stupid? O'Reilly, you've become Fox News' sane guy.
What's your main question? So now we have the swine flu vaccine. Alright, so it comes to your town. Are you going to get the swine flu vaccine? I've decided not to share if I'm going to get it or not.
Really? You talked about your ass surgery on YouTube and now you're holding back on it? Now you've decided it's time to be a little bit more discreet and lay like... Come on back!
Oh, come on, Beck. I think this is important for everybody to make their own decision. This is injecting something into your body. And there's great arguments for and against.
He's right. On the for side, it protects against a potentially fatal disease, was found safe in clinical trials and can keep you from infecting those most vulnerable to the flu. Whereas on the against side, the government's out to get you, science is out to get you and oh, look behind you. We'll be right back. We move on now to the subject of health. And believe it or not, if you've been seeing long lines of elderly people standing outside in the cold lately, it is not all-you-can-eat-buffet-related. Rather, it was a product of the flu vaccine shortage fever gripping the nation. With serum in short supply, state and local health departments have been forced to allocate supplies only to priority patients like the elderly, healthcare workers and babies. In cases where there's still not enough vaccine to go around, babies in old people will ration the shots based on a best of three takedowns. You know what's interesting? That baby looks genuinely surprised.
I don't understand what's happening. It's gotten so bad, at a children's medical center in Colorado, thieves stole 62 boxes of the vaccine, which this worker was not too happy about.
Really? You couldn't believe that?
