I actually did know those 10 things, basically, precise statistical data aside; so could you tell me something I don't know?
How about publishing the ingredients of the vaccine? Specifically the quantities of adjuvants.

People do not do their homework and rely instead on rumors, distortions and falsehoods (lies). Sure H1N1 seems to be mild. So was the 1918 virus when it first started. A mutation occurred and we know the rest. Millions died. The same could happen today with H1N1. Our government is just being prudent. The H1N1 vaccine was produced using the same methods as the seasonal vaccine. The vaccine used during the Ford Admin was produced in a totally different way. Gees people, do your homework!

With out getting involved with all the negatives & positives regarding the H1 N1 vaccine----- My smmary of all this is one (1) question : If , as major medical reports have stated , the vaccine is NOT A RISK TO ONES HEALTH , why would,nt one want to have the vaccination ? I really dont believe that anyone in their right mind would want to have the public take this vaccine if it has not been thorouly tested ---- to the best of to-days medical knowledge !!! Just think of the astranomical ramifications the drug industry,madical authorities,govy., etc. would face if our health was affected ! Money Grab ?? AHH, idont believe so--- too much at stake here !!!

You'd have to be an idiot not to know this information.
A very similar flu was here in the 70's. At the time Pres. Ford encouraged every American to get the vaccine. Of those who did, some got encephalitis and died. The vaccine was then taken off the market.
This iteration of the flu, the government just passed a bill that we cannot sue the manufacturing company if we do become ill and die from the vaccine.
Since, during flu season, 36,000 people in the U.S. regularly die and since this flu has numbers no where near that 'normal' death rate, why all the flurry to vaccinate people with a potentially deadly vaccine?
Also, are those who were exposed to the virus in the 70's or during this current bout immune to the flu this season?
Gee, that's the kind of info I was expecting in this article, rather than blather. What sort of amateur's are working for this online magazine?

This article is not worth reading, as some readers have noted. I can't believe there are people who don't know that there is not a vaccine yet, that there will be less than promised by October, and that pork is dangerous to eat. Most of the elderly who died had a preexisting condition; this virus picks on young, otherwise apparently healthful people--such as a relative of mine, age 30.

Since H1N1 is not a new disease & it had effected people earlier in 1976-78 Why vaccine was not tried out since then. Why concerned persons had brought this situation ?

Hi there my name is Mungisi ndindi and I'm so worried about this diseases called Swine Flu (H1N1). I would like to know whether thereis any cure for this disease or it simply means that if someone has been infected with this disease is going to die. What are symptoms of this Swine flu (H1N1)?If I have a flu is it compulsory for the health workers to test me for H1N1 or its my choice to test.I would like to know if I find that I have ths disease, would I be able to live long couples of years or i would die.
