Only if you are the media.

The regular annual Flu is serious business for sure and an average of a 1,000 people die from it every year. Here we have about 7-8 deaths in Mexico (not the reported 152) and 1 child in the US (brought from Mexico to be treated) and all the other reported cases have been mild and the people recover in a couple days. Where is the pandemic and the cause for the media to go absolutely berserk in their panic reporting?

The media is always ready to PROCLAiM the worst case scenario!!!! Now wouldn't it be BORING to learn you probably won't get it, why it's much better to live on pins and needles and hope & pray to God you don't get the bug! And hopefully all the stress from worrying will weaken your immune system so that you will get it much more easily when you are exsposed to it!!! But of-course your chances of being exsposed to it are slim to none, but the media will NEVER tell you that!:eek:

My mother worked in a hospital back in 1976 and had the Swine Flu shot, died shortly after that due to some neurological disease. Only one person had actually died from the Swine Flu back then and several hundred infected. They were all soldiers.
The Government pulled the Swine Flu Vaccine due to the number of deaths it was causing.
I am hoping that that shot(vaccine) doesn't resurface.

How tragic IC, I am with you and certainly hope the vaccine is not put back into circulation. Too Risky!!!!
