I'm not taking that damn vaccine.
I'm not worried about swine flu (everyone in my school says it with a solemn, mocking voice). I'm young, with a pretty good immune system. i eat a healthy, balanced diet including lots of fruit and vegetables. I get regular exercise.
But if I get it, I'm not worried either. I'll just isolate myself from my family to the best of my ability, keep clean, and do everything else like I've done when I had the flu last time. It's so overblown.
There probably is no need to worry but the 1918 epidemic was *far* more dangerous to the young than to the old. Most deaths came from the immune system of the young over reaction to the disease. Old farts like me have weaker systems and tended to live.

While I don't think the vaccines have been profitable, think of all the other products that are being sold out the wazoo with the news of a terrible, killer flu.
The hand sanitizers, cleansers, sterilizers, flu "preventatives", cough suppressant, etc. I think that is why the flu was big news. Nothing sells like bad news.

Did they die from the disease or the vaccines?
There was no flu vaccine back then. 20-100 million people died from an H1N1 strain of flu.
