Amid the threats of imminent swine flu and apparently slow news week, we have entire news articles showing the Health and Human Services Secretary model the proper way of coughing into one's elbow so as not to spread germs.
Every year, starting when school begins, we are barraged with the ominous "flu" and the fact that there will be death and there will not be enough vaccines for everyone, but you might just be able to get them free at the local grocery store. This mass panic propagated by the media is enough to make me sick if you'll pardon the pun.
Why? Because every year, by March, there will be a small article in the second or third page of the news that will report the aftermath of the crazed panic of the latest flu. After most of us have miraculously (or by supposed vaccination) missed the dreaded disease, the news will report that the deaths are the same they have been since the inception of the flu vaccines and in the same population (the very sick and elderly) and that the vaccination turned out to not be as effective as anticipated.
Here is an article about the influenza epidemic of 1918.
Chiropractic in those days was about adjusting the spine to help keep the body healthy...the same as it is today.
