I read it the other day when I saw it at Drudge for the same reason you link it here. But it doesn’t say what you assume it might have meant. They were saying it from the standpoint that many people have assumed that what illness they had was H1N1, but in many, or even most, cases, it wasn’t. At least that’s what they say.

The point in the article was that, by assuming these previous cases were H1N1, then the folks who were sick would be immune from getting it again. But if they didn’t have it at all, then they were still susceptible. So there you go, another “The sky is falling–maybe” type article.

Like many here, I see this as a government mandated and manipulated emergency. It’s been called an “emerging pandemic” for a good 8-9 months at this point. Guess that because Avian Flu hasn’t panned out yet, they decided to jump on this one. I understand it can be dangerous, but then again, so can getting an operation in a hospital with MRSA running rampant.

depending on who you talk to. So we’ll have all these vaccines, and there will be nothing for which to vaccinate.

Brilliant.

Furthermore, their bumbling on the vaccines has put the supply of seasonal vaccines in jeopardy. I tried for a week to find a source of the seasonal vaccine, and everywhere I went was out of stock. Fortunately my employer’s office I was visiting this past week had a clinic where I was able to get a shot. So by overreacting - too slowly - the gubmint has caused a shortage in the vaccines for the “normal” flu. Note the last sentence in this article

Some doctors said that companies are telling them that making the swine flu vaccine is now a priority, so making the seasonal vaccine has been put on the back burner.

Brilliant.
