wondering if you should get the swine flu vaccine? why not, it probably wasn't potent anyway?

Thanks to the hysteria created by the mainstream media, I went out and got my kids the swine flu vaccine, well, the twins at least. Anna wasn't old enough, and they didn't have it for kids over 6 so, you know we were like 50% protected. Or maybe 0% protected, depending if the vaccine my kids got was actually potent. Ridiculous.

Terrific: Government recalls 800,000 doses of kids’ swine flu vaccine

Hey, stop worrying about a massive government takeover of health care.
You’re in good hands:
Health officials are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough to protect against the virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified doctors about the recall Tuesday. The recall involves about 800,000 doses made by Sanofi Pasteur. The doses are pre-filled syringes intended for young children, ages 6 months to almost three years.
…Health officials say it’s not clear how many doses have already been given, but they don’t think children need to be re-vaccinated. The lots passed potency tests when they were first shipped, but tests indicate the potency waned after.
