This is a deadly virus, it kills perfectly healthy people who don't have underlying medical conditions, so it's not even a matter of how fit you are or how old you are. A 21 year old guy in the UK was perfectly healthy and he died from the H1N1 strain.You know... my parents actually signed me up to receive the shot... but that is why erasable pen is so nice > _ >
Bird flu was over-hyped by the media, but swine flu really isn't being. A bird flu outbreak relied on the strain mutating so it could infect humans; the H1N1 virus can already infect humans, hence the panic and the mass producing of vaccines.
Yes, this vaccine will make a lot of people rich, but it isn't some massive conspiracy. Someone makes a product, the product gets a lot of demand, the makers get immensely rich. It's just capitalism folks...nothing scary, just how the world works. The vaccines are designed by scientists, supported by many external organizations (such as the WHO). People who don't get them, or refuse to get them, have a death wish.
Oh well, survival of the fittest I guess. Evolution does like to weed out stupid people form the population...
