And that gets back to the Globe and Mail column stating that it is selfish not to get the vaccine. We have limited resources for our health care budget, and we will be spending it on people that can't be bothered to get the vaccine because anti-government people like Glenn Beck are telling them the government is out to get them. The column pointed out that our health care budget could much better be used on help for autistic children, purchasing new equipment, hiring more doctors... but instead, we will be spending it on crowded emergency rooms. Hospitals here in Ottawa are already turning people away and suggesting they go elsewhere for treatment.

Obviously, I was going to get the vaccine as soon as I could, but it looks like this thread has just become moot for me. I've got a cough, a headache and really bad chills. And they say the chills are the precursor to the coming fever. I mean, I haven't even started with the fever yet and let me tell ya.... bring on the Gulf War Sydrome. I've jacked up the heat in the house to 25 and I'm shivering like an Inuit in his birthday suit. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's not communicable over the Internet.
