I think there is no need to cry over spilled milk. The swine flu is even not half as danger as regular season flu may be. The whole fuss around a/h1n1 was, is and still will be always in interest of pharmaceutic concerns and companies who manufacture the vaccines.
And I will tell you some interesing thing. I come from Poland and in my country the ministry of health did not approve this vaccine as sth mandatory or neccessary. You will probably ask: why? What was the reason? The answer is simple:
There was 2 or 3 big pharmaceutical suppliers ready and eager to sell the vaccine to the government BUT!!! the thing that NOBODY wanted to take responsibility on potential side effect - comapanies were able to sell as much vaccines as needed ONLY if our ministry will sign the pledge and take the full responsibility what will happen with 40 million citizens - can you believe that?
There is no need to panic, it's just another "popular" sickness highlited by media and people from pharmacies who already earned million of dollars selling vaccines. Recently we heard about antrax, bird flu, now swine flu - what will be next? Cosmic caugh?
Take care everybody,
Thomas from Poland.
