A Year After Its Emergence, H1N1 Swine Flu Lingers

We manufacture Infectiguard Hand Sanitizer. Due to over anxiety in the nation I made wrong decision to over manufacture the product leading to getting the company in unnecessary trouble which made me feel guilty and I submitted my resignation.

I hope the media doesn't exaggerate if things are not 100%.

we spend an enormous amount of money on worthless vaccines when the epidemiologic signs suggest that the population attacked by this new flu strain were very young, most H1N1 sufferers never interacted with a human being having truly lived during or in the immediate years after the spanish flu pandemic of 1918. maybe all we really need to do is make sure young people spend more time with the oldest adults and a good amount of this medicine as corporate profits ridiculousness might actually go away - not to mention the amount of history some of our future leaders might pick up in those sorts of meetings.

NOT a hoax. People I know who never got the flue through almost 10-20 yrs, got the flu in the spring this year after declaring the vaccine needless. After that, herd Immunity is taking over.

I am not fond of big pharma and highly suspicous of much produced, but am also really frustrated at a lack of respect starting out there for vaccines.

A friend caught chicken pox when a neighbor not only refused vacinations to her own but also let her kids run loose with it because she felt natural immunity was better. Wasn't around to pay the Dr. bills caused to others though.

Thank you for the link, but the British are hardly cut-and-dried about the flu itself. H1N1 definitely is making the rounds. That it is milder in impact than feared is wonderful news. As the article linked in the British medical journal says, it is always good policy to plan for the worst. That some people made alarming projections should not take away from the wisdom of anticipating that influenza can be deadly, and getting appropriate vaccines to avoid it. Fortunately, some of the worst fearmongering around the whole subject - those rightwingers in the US who implied that people getting the vaccine against H1N1 were in fact being targeted by the government and would be among the majority of those who succumbed as it was the government's engineered pandemic - can now be seen for the manipulative misleaders they are, so reminiscent of those who, when Clinton was President, insisted that the black helicopters were coming, and international stormtroopers were going to occupy this land any day. The trouble with the antivaccine agitation is that inoculations for children have fallen off in some areas, and we are seeing a rise in the old terrors of humanity, like measles and mumps, as a result. People need to get their shots - I remember what it was like having the fear of polio so bad people did not want to let their children go out in the summer.
