# I didn't say there was a conspiracy and I know it's a new strain of flu

I said I believed in some of the things he said..like the ability for the body to fight the flu by itself.
without the help or fear mongering that this government is becoming so good at

# In most cases yes, but something like 0.5% of people who catch it are dying.
Doesn't sound like much, but with the numbers who are likely to be affected it could run to thousands.
There's also the issue that having the vaccination means you're less likely to get ill and take a week off work, which is why health workers are near the front of the queue, to ensure there aren't massive staff shortages just when they're most needed.

# An interesting stance.
In other news, I feel pretty rough this morning and visited Birmingham at the weekend.
Maybe I won't be needing the vaccine afterall.

# it's not the gorvernment at all
its the press fearmongering, the World Health Organisation have as usual looked at the virus, created what they consider a preventative reponse and that's that. Same as they always do, the only problem here is the media.

# I'm not telling you how to formulate crack-pot theories,
but I'd have thought the pharmaceutical companies making the vaccines are the ones with the most to gain

# I'd go along with HappyToast about it being mostly the media.
Although I haven't felt at all pressured to get a vaccine. It's been made very clear that for someone of my age in good health has nothing much to fear from swine flu.
If I were elderly or had a compromised immune system or whatever, I'd snap it up if it could potentially save my life, or at least prevent a lot of unpleasantness.
