Flu Shot Hysteria

Flu shots, or the lack of them in the United States, have been in the news quite frequently, lately.  Google News has had at least one story per day, over the past two weeks, about the hue and cry over flu shots, or lack of flu shots, for Americans.  Just look at the plethora of flu shot stories available. High speed ferry cruise rides to Canada for flu shots, Yale donating flu shots, five million doses of flu shots bought from the Germans, and on, and on, and on.

Since Americans are seemingly so worried about flu shots, I wondered about Europeans, so I took a cruise around various European news sources to see what type of hue and cry was being raised across the big pond, and if the hue and cry was over flu shots.

Hungarians are more concerned about paprika being banned. Greece Health News seems to be worried about everything, except the flu shot.  France Health News is all agog over Arafat. That figures.  Estonians are concerned about 14 EU ministers having toxic chemicals in their blood.  I know what that means.  Get ready, EU countries, for another round of banished this, that and the other thing, for your blood, of course.

Feel free to check all the other European countries health news concerns, yourself, by clicking on the links supplied here.

Flu shot hysteria.  Only in America.
