(sorry contacts for all the H1N1 questions today)http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml…
Above is a link to an surveillance report for the 36 pediatric deaths from H1N1 as of August 2009. It can be assumed intelligently that the 78 additional deaths to date will have similar stats since it’s only a 2 month time span since the original report and it’s the same flu, right?
OK. Since the report shows that nearly all of the children had serious preexisting medical conditions, why is there so much propoganda about “swine flu is killing the kids?” These children likely would have had serious complications if it was the seasonal flu, as well. I had the seasonal flu and I thought a sumo wrestler was sitting on my chest.
Argument to this (from people who are still not willing to accept the data provided) is that “well, I’ll still get my healthy kids vaccinated to protect someone else with a weaker immune system.”
If I am not mistaken, doesn’t the vaccine make it so you will have less severe symptoms. It prepares your body if you do get the flu. Your body will already be familiar with it and be better prepared to fight it, hence less symptoms. So, you’re still getting the flu and could still infect someone with a weaker immune system.
What is the benefit of this vaccine for healthy kids and why is the media/government hyping it up like it’s killing kids left and right?

Why Is There So Much Hype About This H1n1?
Is There Anyone Who Has Or Had H1n1?
I would like to hear from people who has,had,or knows someone with the H1N1 virus. I would like to know the symptoms they experienced, the duration of sickness, and severity of the illness. I would really like to hear from parents who care for children that experience the virus.
My son is currently sick and we have a doctors appointment tomorrow. There have been a few cases of H1N1 in the area and well I am a concerned parent. He has a fever, slight cough, and a stuffy nose. His fever goes down with motrin then comes back up when it wears off. I would just like some information from people who dealt with it…..
Is There Any Evidence Of Genetic Immunity To Influenza?
I am on my 4th day of quarantine/Tamiflu, 5th day with symptoms. My husband and son are showing no sign of infection, other than both having mild tonsillitis.
My mother in law had H1N1 4 weeks ago, and my father in law did not become infected.
Is there a chance that there is something genetic in the males of the family which makes them less likely to contract ‘flu?
