**//__Would you get vaccinated for the Swine Flu?__//** 

I have called you all hear for an important issue that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later...the swine flu. The swine flu is a respiratory illness of pigs that rarely affects human. I believe that the media is over exaggerating the concerns of the swine flu, but it is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry. Getting vaccinated is one of the only ways you can prevent getting this potential deadly disease. There is no way of knowing how bad this round of the swine flu will be, whether it will become a __pandemic__, or just a rare illness across the globe. The last round of the swine flu was in 1976. It killed 20 million people worldwide. We can’t afford to have this happen for a second time. So react now and get vaccinated. According to health officials there are 93 known cases in the United States and 350 suspected cases. Also one person has died, and this number is still increasing rapidly. The __WHO__ changed the swine flu alert from a 4 to a 5 so the chance that you will become ill with the swine flu is increasing rapidly. Vaccines have been proven to be affective in the past, why wouldn’t you want to use it now? Just think... if you get the swine flu there is a possibilities of not participating in ANYTHING for about 2 weeks. Most Americans can’t afford to be sick in bed for this amount of time. You could prevent this completely by getting a simple vaccine. In conclusion, getting this vaccine is not a waste, it will pay off.
