“My concerns are that G-d forbid we should not be in a situation as in 1959 with the Thalidomide vaccine which was also rushed onto the market and hailed as a wonder drug. “
That is EXACTLY what I posted. We are on the same page here. I don’t know why more people are not concerned about its safety,at this early stage. In any case, it is a choice people make. I had the flu twice last year (regular varieties) and I was very sick for several months on and off. I still would not rush to get the H1N1 vaccine.
I do recommend that everyone follow the safety guidelines for cold prevention, wash the hands, wash, the hands. wash the hands, keep Purell sanitizing hand wash nearby and in your car. Spray your telephone and doorknobs with Lysol and take zinc, vitamin c, and echinachea. I started to come down with a cold which I caught from my baby ainekel, just prior to having my surgery. Had I become ill with what this typically would become, they would have cancelled. I really doctored myself (went to the doc actually, but he said he couldn’t do anything), took the aforementioned vitamins and minerals through the day, and what normally would turn into a two week “chasunah” was with me two days and I was fine, B”H.
