Get vaccinated against the flu, twice

Flu season is upon us, and this time there are two vaccines, the standard type that is released every year to combat whatever strain of flu happens to be around, and a second one specifically tailored to the H1N1 virus. You should take them both, for your own health and for that of the rest of society. But people are, of course, skeptical of vaccines these days, thanks to a lot of misinformation by so-called "celebrities", not to mention quite a bit of inane anti-government sentiment fueled by Republicans (especially, it seems those who are themselves employed in government). Most people don't seem to understand the basics of the science behind vaccines, according to this article in the Washington Post. For instance, the only reason why there is a separate H1N1 vaccine this year is because it was too late to incorporate it in the normal flu cocktail, otherwise we would all have gotten just one flu vaccine as usual. One wonders if there would have been any "controversy" in that case.
