Makes me relieved I didn't get the flu shot... I'm not prone to getting sick very often, but still....

I can see how the anti-vaxers will just grab the headline and scream how the vaccine was the cause of the H1N1 pandemic.

However actually reading the article was quite interesting. It relates to an interaction between the vaccine and the H1N1 virus. It could just have been purely situational, or something else. I agree they should look deeper and find out the why behind this strange occurrence. I think discovering that would be monumental to improving our understanding of viral interaction and vaccine improvement.

I agree that more study is needed.

All we have right now, though, is a correlation.  Just like the correlation between salt and blood pressure -- too many people ran off with that to say that salt causes blood pressure problems, when nothing of the sort was proven.

Off topic for a sec: Vancouver is by far the nicest city I've ever been to. Seriously, what is with Canadians and being absurdly kind and perfect in every way?

They have snipers strategically placed throughout the country to take out anybody who is acting like a dick.
RIP Tony Benn (1925 - 2014)

"There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. Both kill innocent people for political reasons."

"I'm not frightened about death. I don't know why, but I just feel that at a certain moment your switch is switched off, and that's it. And you can't do anything about it."

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm damned sure going to stay away from ferrets with flu symptoms.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.
