It seems I had to get a Swine Flu jab this morning. I’d been wondering about it: I’m eligible because I’m part of a so-called ‘risk group’ *no I ain’t thát old, hehe* but I didn’t receive information nor was I told anything when I went to get the regular flu jab weeks ago. So I was kinda surprised to hear that I was expected to show up this morning. Next week they’ve organised another day which will be the last of the sequence to get the first of two jabs…

But I’ve made up my mind months ago: I won’t be taking any precaution. I still feel that the whole situation is blown way out of proportions and a sickening media hype. Plus… why would I want to take risks? The vaccine hasn’t been tested properly and not much is known about the side effects. If I get ill then I’ll get ill… too bad, but in this particular case I’d rather let things take its natural course than try to influence them by taking more risks, it’s just not worth it.

I refuse to be the next sheep in line to follow the herd blindly…
