If we were really concerned with people dropping like flies our number one goal would be to heard ourselves over to the local Golds Gym and spend 30 minutes running in place instead of waiting around for a shot.

I’m not telling you not to get the shot.  I think that’s a decision each family or individual should think out for themselves, just like I would not want the government telling me what I should inject into my body.  I think the country needs to take a chill pill and not buy into everything the media shoves down our throats.

Another doctor, Dr. Frank S. Rosenbloom, having an opposite opinion to Dr. Synderman, wrote a fantastic blog post here about how the hysteria is way up but the pandemic just isn’t panning out.  He closes with the following…

Evidence is mounting that, as I opined previously, “Swine Flu” is less of a threat medically and epidemiologically than was feared, but is a great mechanism for the promotion of political pork. Our founding fathers taught that it is healthy to regard government intentions with skepticism.

What?  You mean I shouldn’t always trust the government?  I’m trying to bring myself down from the shock.

Here’s my predictions for the coming year:  I will contract swine flu, I will be out of commission for four days, I will survive and continue dining on my whole pig in the freezer, swine flu will be forgotten by January 2nd, and gold will be selling at $400 an ounce come July 4th instead of $1097.90 as of today.  (I added that last prediction because I have a surefire system for spotting financial bubbles.  As soon as all the air time for commercials promoting house flipping switched over to commercials pimping gold investing, I know the end is near, and I wanted to have it written down for proof of my genius).
