Eventually if it continues our immune system will evolve to become dependant on artificial involvement and in the long run make viruses that can evolve resistances to vaccines become more dangerous. I haven't had a flu vaccine since grade school.

On the flipside, when I do get the flu, I get it hard. Heart palpatations, hallucinations, etc.
LOL?How about antibiotics?and many other form of treatment?
Yes,let's go back to the middle ages and bleed people to death when they have food poisoning and let people die from mild infections.
After all we don't want those germs to become resistant do we.

Besides it just trains YOUR immune system.. vaccine does not kill virus for you..

It makes your immune system to learn the virus before you get more dangerous variant thats all..

And I asked whether there are national pandemic plans still in place, it seems no other country has it?

But here's why Young's death is news beyond her southwest Ohio community: people who knew her are saying she resisted treatment that could have saved her life -- because she didn't have health insurance.

Young, a previously healthy 2008 graduate of Miami University of Ohio who lived in Oxford, was diagnosed with swine flu and pneumonia. A few days later, her roommate's mother told a local news channel, she went to an urgent care center. But as her condition continued to worsen, she was reluctant to go to Oxford's McCullough-Hyde Hospital to get proper treatment.

According to the mother, that was because Young "did not have insurance ... After she graduated, she was working a bunch of jobs, but none of them had insurance."

Eventually, after showing signs of kidney failure and dehydration, Young was rushed to McCullough-Hyde, then transferred to University Hospital in Corryville, where she died.

Thats what they are worried about i guess.
Umm, the difference is that in the global economy, we already had the big winter hit - remember, there's a Southern hemisphere. I was in Buenos Aires during the H1N1 winter epidemic in July.

Wasn't bad at all. Didn't catch it, personally.

Wife's a teacher though, so we might get the vaccine anyways - diseases rip through highschools.

We have pretty much the same thing in Israel.
I don't think its obligatory but i heard something aobut vaccination and the medical staff in hospitals.
Some docs are predicting large numbers of infected people in the winter.
I' not sure what is done about it but i Think they are available for free to those who want to get vaccinated.

This reminds me.
At some point in Egypt there was talk of killing 500k pigs cause of the "swine" flu.

lol @ egyptian pig cull

I think mexico was hit hard because generally the standard of living of a lot of people there isnt the same as many affluent countries such as the UK.

The US on the other hand has such a huge rich poor gap that while there are people at the top with bigger incomes than a small countries GDP, at the bottom end are people worse off than somalians. The official statistics would require a much stronger analogy than that.

Italy has developed medium quantities of vaccine, targeting risky subjects like childrens, elders and chronical sick

the vaccine will be available for free soon to the local medical supplies, but will be accessible only by the mentioned categories

the standard flu vaccine will still be free for those categories, but also available for the rest of the people under national sanitary ticket pay

EDIT: both vaccine are totally optional and it's up to one's discretion if to take or not

Silly boy, 2006. As for CA, the rumors and speculation that reach me are MORE than enough to form an objective conclusion.
