For the record, I had pork today (pizza sausage), I will have pork tomorrow (stuffed chops), and I will eat pork (breakfast bacon in a late morning omelet) on Sunday. I will not get an H1N1 vaccine unless I happen to go to the doctor and they offer it to me.
For six months the experts have be reassuring us that we need not be worried about pigs. People in countries that slaughtered pigs over fears of H1N1 were ostracized by the American media, because experts said there is no risk from pigs themselves.
Tonight I saw this story on my left-leaning local CBS affiliate. They think some Minnesota pigs may have the H1N1. Experts now say they expected this. Here is the kicker: The experts believe the pigs contracted the H1N1 virus from humans at the Minnesota State Fair in late summer.
My question is: If pigs can get the pig flu from humans, why can't humans get the pig flu from pigs? Isn't that where it started?
We can, but not from eating it. We get it from the airborne germs, not from eating the meet.

BTW...some OUTRAGEOUS snark over my way today about a fat pig in Congress.
Hussein is setting his evil agenda and our country is allowing it!!!..ugh!..no flu shot for me!

ReplyDeleteWHT, why is Sebelius taking the front on this. instead of our plus-sized Surgeon General?
Trestin. Why offer them 72 virgins, when they's be happy to have one with experience?
