Flu vaccine's disease?

I found today a blog named Americablog, thanks to blogrunner, where the blogger discussed about the New York Times' article about the pseudo-reaction on the flu vaccine. I agree with his idea about the fact that this impression of augmentation of seizure, heart attacks.... is purely psychological. There are a lot of seizure and heart attacks every day and the injections give an explanation, a cause for these tragical events. I liked his comparison, that he explained with a very common case. A man is walking down the street and you sneeze. Right after that 2 cars crash in front of you. "Just because you sneezed and then two cars crashed doesn't mean you SNEEZE caused the car crash.". This is a very simple exemple but that clarify everything.

  1. Pierre, this is a good start as you begin to further explore your topic. As you read and write, try to do more to explain how and why the ideas you are writing about are important as part of the larger issues. For example, you mentioned the article about the flu vaccine. How does that fit into the larger issue of the flu and swine flu in particular? What kinds of questions does that raise in your mind?

    Keep reading and writing.

    I also wrote this in French. Does it make sense?

    Pierre, il s'agit d'un bon départ alors que vous commencez à explorer davantage votre sujet. Comme vous le lire et à écrire, essayez de faire davantage pour expliquer comment et pourquoi les idées que vous écrivez au sujet sont importantes dans le cadre des grandes questions. Par exemple, vous avez mentionné l'article sur le vaccin contre la grippe. Comment cela s'inscrit dans la question plus vaste de la grippe et la grippe porcine en particulier? Quels types de questions ne soulevant dans votre esprit?

    Continuez à lire et à écrire.
