Due to the fully necessary panic caused by the news media and the U.S. government, the H1N1 virus vaccine is now in short supply as millions of hypochondriacs, and others who feel their survival is imperative for the success of humanity as a species, flock to get immunized.
Pharmaceutical companies are struggling to keep up with demand. One public relations director, from the pharma industry, stated that company executives are severely distraught because of their inability to fully deliver on their promise of bringing ample amount of vaccines to the public. One report even suggests that CEOs have been caught weeping into piles of money as a means to sooth their guilty conscience.
Many pet owners are also concerned because they are being turned away by their veterinarians when they visit to have their swine immunized.
How dare anyone question the necessity of giving money to people who make vaccines!?
I dare to question them, especially since they are the ones who created the need for the vaccine in the first place!!!
So does this make the H1N1 Vaccine the Nintendo Wii of 2009?
Yes, it does, Anthony. :D
So that means that instead of the tickle me elmo, I should give my kid a vaccine this year…
Guess I should return the Transformer and go get a syringe.
Screw the flu…I have never had a vaccine and have only had it once in my 28 years. I depend on all the other sheep to get the vaccines, thanks guys!
I love that people are standing in lines for hours to get a vaccine for something that is easily spread through crowds.
I guess hypochondria is not enough to actually make people think!
Also, that image of Pharma CEO’s crying into piles of money is so beautiful that I think I might go find a pile of money to cry in, myself! Pile o’ Pennies, here I come!
yeah but you see any person who is a real hypochondriac would be standing in line WITH a face mask.
LMAO why yes, it is easily spread through crowds ^_^
And yet with all the hypochondria, my coworker with the flu came to work today and wore a face mask. However, he wore it over his mouth and not his nose. I asked him why he was bothering to wear it at all, since it just made him look like a moron.
Swine flu is good for you! Come on, you’re gonna feel so much better when it’s over! So go kiss a pig, and I’m not just talkin about your girlfriend either. I mean sure if that’s your thing go ahead and do it but seriously, you really need to kiss a pig. You’ll emerge from your sickness a better person for the pain you’ve been through. ;p
Uptake of the new swine flu vaccine among NHS staff is set to be low as many have fear over its safety. Swine Flu UK
People should not be making such a big deal over this flu… It’s not actually that bad.
It truly is just hypochondria, there are fewer people who have died from the H1N1 flu, (aka swine flu), as well as the avian flu combined than die from the regular strain of flu that goes around during the year….ugh hypochondriacs
I refuse to get the flu vaccine, H1N1 or otherwise. My immune system works well. I very rarely get sick. It is better to let your body fight it off naturally if you are a regular, healthy adult. Only immunocompromised ppl should get the vaccine. The more you use vaccines to avoid illness, the weaker your immune system is because it never has to work as it is designed to do. Vaccines need to be reserved for serious illnesses like polio, mumps, etc. that are a serious threat to even healthy individuals.
