#35 – Swine Flu / H1N1
Yet another good reason to homeschool – possible that half the country will get the swine flu, which is a scary thing. Especially when I’m still waiting to hear back from DHS over two weeks later and my son still doesn’t have insurance. =/
I called after mom said she’d called on Friday, but didn’t get an answer. And we went to the lake but my car broke down and so I don’t have one – the lights stay on even though they aren’t on and kill the battery. I see a new PCP tomorrow after the total mess that has happened with the one I’ve had, so I hope that goes well, and I guess I just need to keep an eye out for the vaccine release, and to see if it’s safe… I don’t like the thought of a vaccine that isn’t common, but maybe it will test out okay.
And it’s really messed up that doctors might refuse the H1N1 vaccine – some places will fine $1000 a day for that. It makes me nervous because I think that the trials will be rushed… it’s already fall, and there have been several drugs in the past where they didn’t know the consequences until many years later.
