Medical Community Doesn’t Get A Taste Of Its Own Medicine

Has anyone ever given you some advice they themselves would never take? Did your parents ever tell you to “grow up” despite the fact the they often acted like children? Has your psychiatrist ever exhibited the tics and neuroses of a truly crazy person? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be able to grasp the stunning irony of the recent CDC morbidity and mortality data which suggests that medical professionals were one of the least-vaccinated groups in america for H1N1, as well as seasonal flu.
The medical community’s apparent reluctance to get the shot bolsters the resolve of the already-paranoid tea partyers, conspiracy theorists, and pregnant single mothers who believe the inoculation is part of a government plot to take our children and turn our minds to Jell-o. When you think about it, drug-induced complacency might explain how the administration managed to get the health care bill through without starting a civil war.
