H1N1 CREATED IN THE USA BY SCIENTISTS

I thought only a small percentage of those infected die.

How do you stop research from proceeding? How do you stop the unscrupulous from profiting from diseases they themselves create in a lab, when government programs support their research?

People only started getting vaccinated recently. People with the flu are still going to die. Durr hurr.

Is that Russia Today news.

In WV the H1N1 killed 4, the shot killed 10.

You're looking at the specific portion of the population that doesn't show much effectiveness from the vaccines.

"The latest of the critical studies, published in the Aug. 2 issue of the Lancet, followed the cases of 3,519 patients over age 65 -- all admitted to the hospital with pneumonia either during or just before the flu seasons of 2000-2002. After separating those who had been vaccinated against flu from those who had not, and accounting for other health factors, the study found that the group that had been immunized against flu appeared no less likely to develop pneumonia requiring hospitalization than those who had not."

"On the heels of that study came a second, conducted by Canadian researchers, that looked at the death rates of elderly hospitalized patients with pneumonia. About 8% of the patients vaccinated for flu died, compared with 15% of the nonvaccinated patients.

But when researchers paired patients of similar age and health status and then looked at their comparative likelihood of dying, they found that age and frailty -- not flu vaccination -- seemed to account for which patients were most likely to die of pneumonia during flu season. At the same time, they noted, seniors who were younger, more active and generally in better health were more likely to be vaccinated."

Overall if you want to look at age 65+ yes, the vaccine most likely makes very little difference but does give the added benefit of potential side effects.

For something more directed towards the basic demographic of current.com:
(from JAMA, ILI=influenza like illnesses)

"Results For 1997-1998 and 1998-1999, respectively, 95% (1130/1184) and 99% (1178/1191) of participants had complete follow-up, and 23% in each year had serologic testing. In 1997-1998, when the vaccine virus differed from the predominant circulating viruses, vaccine efficacy against serologically confirmed influenza illness was 50% (P = .33). In this season, vaccination did not reduce ILI, physician visits, or lost workdays; the net societal cost was $65.59 per person compared with no vaccination. In 1998-1999, the vaccine and predominant circulating viruses were well matched. Vaccine efficacy was 86% (P = .001), and vaccination reduced ILI, physician visits, and lost workdays by 34%, 42%, and 32%, respectively. However, vaccination resulted in a net societal cost of $11.17 per person compared with no vaccination.

Conclusion Influenza vaccination of healthy working adults younger than 65 years can reduce the rates of ILI, lost workdays, and physician visits during years when the vaccine and circulating viruses are similar, but vaccination may not provide overall economic benefits in most years."

So yes, the vaccine works if you're under 65 IF they get the strains right.

it is all about fear. and money

H1N1 CREATED IN THE USA BY SCIENTISTS..for what..to kill Mexicans? thats where it came from... it is a disgrace to the first amendment that this nonsense is freely propagated...its not strong enough to be weaponized..
i would like to know what you believe on this matter, message me please.
