Comments on: Billy Corgan Pushes Swine Flu Vaccine Paranoia http://www.oliverwillis.com/2009/10/29/billy-corgan-pushes-swine-flu-vaccine-paranoia/ Like Kryptonite To Stupid Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:30:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: White Whale http://www.oliverwillis.com/2009/10/29/billy-corgan-pushes-swine-flu-vaccine-paranoia/#comment-188374 White Whale Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:28:33 +0000 http://www.oliverwillis.com/?p=17320#comment-188374 The man is a musical genius and lets leave it at that. Every artist, hell every figure head has some view that is just weird. More importantly, why is this important? Do people really listen to rock stars or comedians for health advise? They are generally the most unhealthy people around. Why even bring it up? I will just listen to health professionals and go pop in listen to Pisces Iscariot or Machina II now.

That's the thing about public health policy. The "pubic" aspect is the most critical thing about it, and it only takes one person to topple the house of cards re: an epidemic.

I think I'll manage fine as we've been through the swine flu before, but I certainly wouldn't begrudge getting it for people who need it or want it.
