2-flu season: Businesses need to cope as regular bug meets H1N1
10 comments | Read story
It takes years and years to develop effective vaccines. The annual flu vaccine is a roll of the dice, it's a hodge podge of stuff that probably won't help but every now and again they get it partially right. How can we expect the H1N1 vaccine to be any better when they can't vaccinate the normal flu well enough to warrant getting one?
According to studies, getting a seasonal flu shot provides sloe to 75 percent effectiveness rate in preventing hospitalizations from influenza complications. Additionally from the CDC Website : "Antibodies made in response to vaccination with one strain of influenza viruses can provide protection against different, but related strains. A less than ideal match may result in reduced vaccine effectiveness against the variant viruses, but it still can provide enough protection to prevent or lessen illness severity and prevent flu-related complications."
Insurance companies spend millions of dollars offering free flu shots to employees and families. You think they just like flushing money down the toilet? No, they do it because it saves them even more money. Don't be clueless.
Explain then how the H1N1 vaccine is anything more than a cheap shot at making obscene amounts of money by preying on the fear and paranoia of the populous of Earth?
Fear is the opiate of the masses, give them a little and they will keep lighting that fire so that they don't have to address the real issues at hand. The real issue in this case is why has this vaccine and it's vetting process been ok'd, nay, pushed by the highest levels of government in less than a year and a normal vaccine takes years, YEARS of testing to bring to market.
You can't do it. It's preying on those who blindly follow no matter the consequences. When this is uncovered by history as the greatest medical sham of the last 100 years I hope we all recognize that and never let it happen again.
