Swine Flu Sunday
The good people of Lisablog say hello to all of you out there in the blogosphere. The beast is getting ready for bed by listening to her favorite CD, Kate Bush's Hounds of Love. Meanwhile we're mulling over the idea of the swine flu vaccination for the little one. Early reports are that side-effects are nil in adults, but there's no infant test-group. Also be aware that some of the vaccines being distributed do contain thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative. We're not big on vaccines, but we seem to be in the eye of the hurricane here in Queens. We may begin with the strategy known as "cocooning". Mama and papa butterfly will be vaccinated to protect the larva. We have more flu here earlier in the seaon, but not more dangerous flu. In fact, swine flu is pretty much the same as regular flu danger-wise. Count your blessings peops, it's not drug resistant. Other news is that it's chilly in Sunnyside and the heat is on. Time for the humidifier. We're watching Kenneth Anger films in the Sunday workshop. Today was Fireworks, Rabbit's Moon, and Invocation of My Demon Brother. We'll be back soon with more news from Pandemic City. Peace.

i've had some concerns about the swine as it is making it's way around the university here. someone i know had it, and the docs put her little toddler on tamiflu to resist it. not sure if that works, or which has the higher side affects, tamiflu or the vaccine. bea is getting lots of antibodies through your breastmilk though, and that helps.
