Finland has banned the use due to a possible connection to narcolepsy in children.

Definitly a bit tired, but I think that it's due to it being quite late (quarter to one in the night) and I've spent most of the day watching dogs at a dog show. Carrying my camera around all day is hard work! :-)
As for the H1N1 vaccine, I didn't get. I did get the flu though, I was feeling warm and tired for about half a day. I haven't had a real bad bout of flu since I was 10 so I can't be bothered to take vaccines. My father took it, but he's more than twice my age and have some heart problems. I know several people who got really sick of the vaccine, and was sick for more time then I was of the flu. So I decided I couldn't be bothered ...
As for giving numbers then saying there really is not proof, that's the way most journalist treat science and research, isn't it? Very annoying.

That's the good/bad thing with statistics, if you know what you're talking about you can't really bend them. Problem is, you have to know what you're talking about and if you don't, someone with half a clue can probably convince you that white is black even though nearly everything in statistics is kind of half gray. And 20 = infinity *he he*

I did not. Actually, I don't get any flu vaccines. I have a bad tendency to get bronchitis and then pneumonia that usually starts from any cold or flu that I get, so the risk of me coming down with a mild flu FROM a vaccine is not worth it to me. The last time I got the flu I ended up with bronchitis from coughing, then pneumonia, and almost ended up in the hospital so no flu vaccines for me! I will just take my chances and try to keep away from people who are sick when flu season comes around.
