Look what happened in the 70s with the vaccine then.
I work in clinical trials and I will be trying to find out as much as I can before even consider the vaccination-if I have a choice.
We do not have accurate figures for swine flu cases as they are no longer swabbing,in fact here in the UK they are diagnosing over the phone-telling people not to go to their GP or ED,and presribing Tamiflu. Funny how they didn't close the schools early though.People are just phoning up to get the drugs and stockpiling them.

Yes,my wife almost died from that swine flu shot,her throat closed up among other factors,I wish they had proceeded with another name,now makes me hesitant!!

LOL! Bringing back an eleven year old thread to bash vaccines?

However:

It worked very well in the 10 to 49 age group, less well in those younger than that, and not at all well in seniors.

"Researchers calculated the overall effectiveness of the pandemic vaccine at 56%. For the inactivated vaccine, they found that vaccine effectiveness was 89% (95% confidence interval [CI], 15% to 99%) in those aged 10 to 49, though they didn't find significant effectiveness in younger and older groups. Effectiveness in children aged 6 months to 9 years was 32% (95% CI, -92% to 76%), and for people over 50 it was -6% (95% CI, -231% to 66%).
