KB21 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is a good case of the media trying to scare everyone into thinking that the swine flu is a serious disease. It's no different than the regular flu. It is just a different strain. In fact, many of the strains of regular flue are resistant to the medicatin tamiflu. The swine flu isn't. It is easily treated.

Nothing gets people in line like a good epidemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyRoc Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 From what I've read, most of the people who die from the flu are the elderly and the young children. I've never had the flu vaccine and have only had the real flu once in my life (I'm 21). I think the idea is to produce revenue for the pharmaceutical companies, because there's no way to really protect yourself from the flu, from what I've read, because the virus mutates so much.

I've never had the flu vaccination shot either, which is odd because I'm an educator and they're free at my school. But, it doesn't make sense to me to inject into your body the parts of the virus you're trying to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
