The cardiac side effects of Vioxx didn't become known to the public until people had died. I think we need to take a "wait and see" with this vaccine.

See, here's the thing...to wait and see, people still need to have the vaccination done. So it makes no difference either way. I just don't think it should be mandated. The last mandated vaccine I got (MMR) made me really sick and had me off school for two weeks. Yeah, I was the 1 in 100,000.
Also this isn't like the swine flu, the epidemic that never happened-people have HPV and cervical cancer now so it's a bit different. You're right to be cautious but also remember, with respect, that you're out of the recommended age range to receive it anyway.
