Shots in the Dark

This is what happens when everybody goes batshit.

Two New York City school children were given injections of the H1N1 vaccine without their parents' permission. One of them is already in the ER. The other child's mother didn't want her daughter to receive the vaccine because the girl takes many medications and her concern was that one or more might interact unfavorably with the vaccine.

People, people, people, you can't go sticking hypodermic needles into kids just because you're afraid we're all going to die. Maybe you disagree with their parents, but it really isn't your call.

And if you're one of those looney-tunes who thinks that anyone who gets swine flu because they didn't get the vaccine and then gets sick, shouldn't be treated, please do us all a favor and jump off the nearest bridge sooner rather than later.
