There. Is. No. Vaccine. For. Swine. Flu.
You can't compare MS and Cystic Fibrosis as they are genetic and not viral.

The year that we are in also has nothing to do with it. I tell you what, the plague was stopped by the great fire of London, so shall we set the world on fire?

No-one said that the disease will kill everyone it touches - but it does have the potential to kill a lot of people. There were 3 major pandemics in the 20th Century, responsible for millions of deaths - each of those pandemics caused by a new strain of the virus in humans. Which is what is happening now. Once again, we are not running around in a state of panic, but we also have to be aware of what can happen. This is not seasonal flu.

Urban myth
The plague had already run its course and was effectively over well before the Great Fire.
