Today I when came into work and got on the computer I came across a story that caught my attention. It was basically an article explaining the H1N1 virus. Well, actually it was talking about people who are at higher risk to catch the swine flu and it states their argument on why we need to get vaccinated.

I already knew about the swine flu being more of a risk for ages 18 to 22 year olds. Which means we are at higher risk to get the H1N1 virus. I think it has something to do with our immune system not being able to fight off the flu on its own, but I didn’t know that it’s also attacking little babies, children, the elderly, people with asthma or women who are pregnant.

This kind of scared me because I have a handsome son who is has barely started touching and terrorizing everything and I could not imagine anything happening to him. I am kind of a germophobe, which means I can’t stand when people cough and don’t cover their mouth or spit near me.

Also I am pregnant, and I do not want to get vaccinated for the swine flu. A lot of people are trying to scare me into it though. It’s not like I just don’t usually take shots, it’s because I am scared of what’s inside the medicine, I don’t know what the effects will be and every time I hear about the vaccine people make it seem like something is wrong with it, whether it’s friends or my spouse are telling me about the swine flu. They never took the vaccine before so they would not be able to tell me how it made them feel or if it changed them some how.

I wish someone close to me did get the vaccine so I can ask them questions about it and I would have to question their answers. I think if I get vaccinated I will get really sick, hurt the child inside of me, probably get people who are close to me sick and I won’t get better. I don’t really trust the government because I think they are the cause for the sicknesses across the world and they are only targeting those who are weak.

Even on the Internet I was reading about the vaccine and it said that all the vaccines have not had any bad effects so far, the word so far is a big no, no, to me. That means something bad is going to happen later on, I mean I know it well benefit me but I don’t want to put something in my system or even in my sons system with out having that mush knowledge about it.
