The Last, Best Word On H1N1 Vaccine Queue Jumping...

....Come From Our 10 Year Old Daughter, littler e....


Here's what e. had to say on the way to school this morning:

"Oh, now I get it.

It's the difference between someone missing a few hockey games and someone maybe dying, right Dad?"


Absolutely right, kiddo.

****

Look.

Here's the real thing.

The chances of Jerome Iginla, what with his stratospheric lung capacity and unlimited access to Tami-Flu, dying if he comes down with the flu caused by an H1N1 virus infection are infinitesimal (eg. really, really, really, really, really, really small to essentially non-existent).

As for any and all teenage kids with severe asthma that had trouble getting the vaccine in Calgary last week and who may have been infected with the virus while the clinics there were shutdown due to vaccine shortages?

Well - that's a different story (ie. those kids were not identified as truly high risk for nothing).

OK?

And with that, I'm done with this matter.....Unless, of course, we suddenly start reading about entire swaths of luge runners and their coaches and hangers-on who considered themselves at high risk because they have to touch a chairlift on an almost, but not quite, daily basis....
