Winter Season's solutions?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guillain-Barre is a rare disorder of the nervous system. It is usually defined as ascending paralysis of muscles, that would include respiratory muscles which might hinder the patient's basic capacity to breathe. In this situation, this might require the use of a mechanical ventilator. Winter Season is here, and vaccination opponents would seem purvey a causal relationship betweenGuillain-Barre and swine flu. Vaccination proponents argue that it has been 30 more years since America had the Swine Flu Vaccine Fiasco. USA today states: "
The 1976 swine flu program was "overwhelmingly recalled as a 'fiasco,' a 'disaster,' or a 'tragedy,' " wrote Fineberg and co-author Richard Neustadt, the late founder of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

The government signed off on developing a vaccine and using it at the same time, without ever reassessing the need for immunizing against the unpredictable flu virus." Vaccination proponents asserts that the making of the vaccine has already been refined., and the CDC is in a watchful waiting process for any side effects.

One can say that what seems to be a solution to a problems, would not be the a solution, but would likely cause a burdensome aggravation to the problem. For instance, Newser.com annotated the problems the health reform may cause

$$$: "Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income to private insurance corporations."
* More $$$: "Penalties of up to 2% of your annual income" if you don't buy insurance.

* Yet more $$$: Coverage mandatory for some who can't afford "$11,900 in annual out-of-pocket expenses over and above their annual premiums."
* Anti-choice: The bill is "designed to trigger a challenge to Roe v. Wade."
* Worse care: Taxes on existing employer plans will decrease benefits.
* No returns: Taxes would start now, but advantages don't materialize until 2014.
* 300%: That's how much more the elderly could be charged.
* Drugs: Big Pharma gets a handout, and you get charged more.
* More drugs: No importation of cheaper alternatives.
* $$$, again: "In 10 years, your family’s insurance premium will be $10,000 more annually than it is right now."

Problems, and problem and problems. One can say that 100 years ago from now, people may be minding problems that do not deserve to be given too much attention.

One can say that the month of December can also be a month for break-ups. Wolstenholmes Solicitors LLP states: "Around 140,000 couples divorce each year in England and Wales. This is the highest divorce rate in Europe. According to recent statistics, the busiest time of the year for people – especially women – to initiate divorce proceedings is straight after Christmas." Others argue that January is the time for a clean slate and a fresh start. Hence, prospective divorcees would seem to proceed with this belief.
