You Been Vaccinated for H1N1 yet?
At my friend, Rachel Levy’s suggestion, I am putting out a submission call for an H1N1 Politiku.
Are You a Scientist or a Heath Policy Expert?
If you’re an expert on this topic, I’d love to feature your Politiku along with a Tweet length bio, specifying your expertise to supplement.
Do You Have a Difficult Time Taking All of This Seriously?
Then there’s two of us. Considering how many more people die every month from regular flu, once can’t help but wonder if its just an overhyped media thing. At the same time, its so frustrating not being able to get a hold of the stupid shot. But then, its not easy to get a good grasp on the rest of this, either.
Here’s my suggestion:
Read Rachel’s latest blog post on the topic because its thorough, its fair and Rachel is reliable and smart. The post also gives a good overview of what a lot of different perspectives on this.
There Are Still No Vaccinations Available in Your State?
Wanna know who just got their entire company vaccinated? Watch Amy Poehler and Seth Meyer’s “Oh Really” sketch from the 11/7/09 SNL about this. Btw, if you work for Goldman and are willing to Politiku on the topic, you are SO anonymously featured it isn’t even funny. Well, okay. It might be a little bit.
H1N1 Politiku Deadline November 15th 12:00p.m. PST

I look forward to reading your 17 syllables.
