Mael, think of Influenza as an underlying cause for people getting Strepthroat and you're a step closer to the truth. FWIW, I've never had an Influenza vaccine in my life, but I had Strepthroat 3 times as a child.
Of course, when I was a kid there was NO SUCH THING AS A FLU VACCINE, and quite a few more people DIED from Influenza as a percentage of the population. Especially between 1957 and 1964, when 'Asiatic Flu' was making its rounds.
Gee, I guess it must have been caused by the Polio vaccine, or maybe a Tetanus shot... never mind that my Strep infections occurred months or years BETWEEN vaccinations.
WARNING--BAD JOKE: Ooh, hey, maybe it was bioterrorism, since I was in contact with Canadian citizens during that period of time! BLAME CANADA!--END BAD JOKE WARNING
If you are happy, healthy and normal with nothing to compromise your immune system, skip the vaccine if you want, it shouldn't matter.
Telling people that the elderly, kids and pregnant women aren't in danger is reckless and stupid.
Last note: The NY vaccination order was considered excessive by 1 nurse, 1 NY representative and the NYCLU; hospitals and medical personnel in NY also argued that it took away from vaccines available for the general public, and they wouldn't be able to comply with the Nov. 30 deadline for mandatory health worker vaccination due to vaccine shortages.
Ain't it nice to get THE REST OF THE STORY? Again, I say the H1N1 vaccine has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with a 'bioterror' attack, regardless of mael's insistence that he is an expert on the subject.

What is the number of flu cases reported? Simply saying 70% means kind of nothing at this point.
70% of what???
I need a few more numbers to determine if 70% is worth scoffing at or not.
ironrose2000 wrote:Interesting thread, here. Personally, my biggest problem isn't "the CDC said so", it's the HUGE H1N1 scare. Yes, 70% of reported cases may indeed be H1N1, but is it reported to the CDC or by the CDC? And what exactly is the mortality rate? Remember when all this started, when the big "H1N1 is a KILLER!!!" panic began? Personally, the only deaths I've heard about are out-of-country, in places where health care is substandard, to say the least.

I heard on the news that (like I said) 70% of FLU CASES reported worldwide, test postive for H1N1.
In China, that number is 80%, and I just found that out by doing a quick Google, it was the first link.
From the (corrupt, dishonest, terrorist organization according to some) CDC for the current week:
No. of positive flu specimens 5,258. Of those, 3,889 are H1N1. That comes out to 74%, actually. That's just for the USA, week 43 or "current week."
