The vaccine will cause Guillian-Barre syndrome, a condition which destroys the central nervous system.
Heard this evening that the two Obama daughters WILL NOT be vaccinated for H1N1.
Now I wonder what the First Family knows that the rest of us aren’t supposed to know?

they live in a “bubble” and don’t have access to the “little people”
Gee, even the Bangkok Post is concerned about Obama’s flu shot. I like how he says he’ll do what his doctor says - what, not what Governor Patrick says or Sebelius?
Obamas to get swine flu vaccine

America’s first family will get vaccinated against swine flu when they are advised to, President Barack Obama said in a television interview broadcast Sunday.
“We want to get vaccinated. We think it’s the right thing to do. We will stand in line like everybody else and when folks say it’s our turn, that’s when we’ll get it,’’ Obama told CNN’s “State of the Union.’’
With the northern hemisphere entering its autumn flu season and infection rates again beginning to spike, many Americans are waiting for the first deliveries of (A)H1N1 vaccines, expected to come in the first weeks of October.
The emergency services personnel and others who are at risk or vulnerable, including pregnant women and children with underlying conditions, will be first to get the vaccine.
“After that, I think, you’re looking at kids, so Malia and Sasha would fall into that category,’’ Obama said referring to his two young daughters. “I suspect that I may come fairly far down the line.’’
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week that the flu season had begun earlier than normal and that the number of detected cases had risen.
“The Obama family plan is to call up my HHS (Health and Human Services) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and my CDC director, and just ask them, what’s your recommendation? And whatever they tell me to do, I will do,’’ Obama said.
Worldwide, at least 3,205 people have died of the virus since it was uncovered in Mexico in April, according to the World Health Organization. The United States has confirmed more than 600 swine flu-related deaths.
The US government has purchased 195 million doses of swine flu vaccine and will make shots against the influenza A(H1N1) virus available free of charge starting next month.
The vaccine will cause Guillian-Barre syndrome, a condition which destroys the central nervous system.
My wife (mostly because of my worry about everything mother in law) wanted our 7 month old daughter to get the H1N1 vaccine. I said over my dead body, and she knew by my tone and facial expression that I was not kidding. I told her our child is not a guinea pig for the government and will not be getting it. I then let her know that there was nothing either she, her mother, or the pediatrician could say that would change my mind.
