      If they are last on the list for the vaccine, it's because they already have the antibodies that do not necessitate this. The young people (under 35 or so) are the people that need it, because we haven't experienced H1N1 virus.
      Idiot.

      Its amazing - he says that it impacts children far more than adults and then, totally ignores this as a reason to do it this way.

      I didn't know that Sean could read. Apparently he couldn't comprehend, or is choosing to ignore, that the elderly are less likely to get infected than teens. So, they do not need it as soon as others. But as long as Sean can play his fearmongering game he's happy.

      Anything anyone says can be distorted by this guy. He probably get's most of his ideas from Dick Morris, or from the "intellectual" that lives in a bunker.

      I am 76 years old. In the survey taken of those who came down with the HI virus, most seniors were immune. (Although some did get the flu). I think the government realized that our participation in getting regular flu shots for up to 10 to 15 years has given us some immunity. So we get the shots last unless a senior like a lot of other people have a life threatening disease.

      I am perfectly satisfied with that decision. I think it is a true assertion.

      Totally irresponsible programing [talk radio and Fox News]. Stupidity and hate from these idiots is non-stop.
      [Klan]nity has a history of giving bad press in order to discredit black people, and he has been very successful in the past. That's why he won't let go of Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright. Sean was instrumental in turning thd tide on the black woman who claimed Duke players raped her. Despite reading the charges and evidence on air, Hannity, with a straight face, said "I don't see anything that would support her case". Hannity and Fox News ignores anything they disagrees with. Instead they will push what they believe the story should be, and they will do so if they have to lie or make up a story. Since they are not held to a high standard or accountability, truth, reality, law, policy and justice is of no concern to them.

      Hannity is not unlike other liberal talk shows - incesent whining and complaining. Just shut the heck up already. The only people that take it seriously are those who have a tendency to get worked up over this stuff - the knee jerkers. But even they are easily convinced with a calm voice of truth. But they have to go through the stages of reality first; fear, hyperventalation, more fear, action of some kind but they don't know what, fatigue, then someone with a calm rational message to set them straight.
