    Exclamation Swine flu, could it be the new smallpox?

    http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm

    The funny thing is, i told several people not to get flu shots, one of these days it will create some kind of super flu. Meaning if you don't get a flu shot then you have a better chance of fighting it.

    You shouldn't baby you body to not getting sick, you needto build up immunity. The scary thing about this is it is killing off young childrten and adults. usually flu's only kill babies and seniors.

    I heard about this on the news, and couldn't help but laugh when I heard "...the World Health Organisation has issued a statement saying that it is worried by the outbreak" or something to that effect. Way to go, WHO, point out the fucking obvious. A disease outbreak is worrying. Well done, the UN and all its branches were such worthwhile investments. It'd be nice to see them actually get off their arses and do something for once, but I guess you can't expect much from an assembly of nations' leaders. Put a large group of politicians together, and they'll bicker and drop each other in it like children.

    It's all well and good to say that you need to build up immunity and not to get vaccinated, but don't you get that vaccination is going just that? The whole point of injecting weakened or dead bacteria or viruses into you is so that your body learns to recognise them, learns how to kill them off, and can therefore wreck their shit next time it sees them. That's exactly what immunity is, the difference being that you can get it without suffering from the condition in the first place.

    I seem to recall some huge hoo-hah a few years back about another 'killer flu' to match the one that came through just after the first war (or was it during?)... and it turned out that it was only marginally worse than a normal one.

    This happened in 1918 and 1976. Flu strain constantly mutates, getting a vaccination against it isn't going to cause a super flu. Retards shouldn't be giving medical advice.

    Oh, has it really been 2-3 years since the last OMG SUPERFLU?
    I wonder if it's really just plain fearmongering or just periodically slow news weeks in the summer.

    Also, Madagascar already closed the port.

    no, flu's genuinely dangerous, but only to people who have compromised or weak immune systems or idiots who don't look after themselves properly

    it's more mass panic on the public's part than fearmongering on anyone else's
