The swine flu is not more dangerous as any other yearly flu.
I dont understand all the publicity about that particular flu.
You should ask: Do you get vaccine for the normal flu also exactly, i hate that everyone is acting like this is a huge deal.

The main reason for getting a vaccination right now is not so much to avoid feeling sick for a few days, instead, it's important to make sure as few people as possible infect themselves. The more people infected, the higher the risk for dangerous mutations. Since a dangerous mutation (for which we would have no vaccinations, and which might be a huge danger down the line) should be avoided at all cost (since it could prove to be quite deadly - and, apparently, especially for healthy young males aged 14 to 49), it might be a good idea to get as many people as possible vaccinated. That being said: The incredible speed in which we had to develiop this vaccine didn't allow as thorough testing as we'd like to have, so there's a valid case for concern. Especially given incidents like this.Of course, I'm neither a medical professional, nor a media professional (like, apparently, most of you), so what do I know. But this discussion will never get interesting with a few pro-facts, so please refer to the above, thank you.
Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.

Well, the vaccine had a 2500% kill to save ratio 1 person died of the flu, 25 died of the vaccine for the flu. Not really a promotion for getting the vaccine. The strain itself killed one person and hospitalized 13[citation needed]. However, side-effects from the vaccine caused 25 deaths verall, about 500 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), resulting in death from severe pulmonary complications for 25 people, were probably caused by an immunopathological reaction to the 1976 vaccine.
