Does anyone know the science of the vaccines? How different is it from the "influenza" vaccine? With the obvious strain of flu to fight, being the
only real difference.
Just some facts about vaccines.
Wikipedia
Depending on how deep the conspiracy runs, the facts there "could" be distorted as well.
In a non pandemic situation, the following is said:
n the U.S., an estimated 25–50 million cases of the flu are currently reported each year — leading to 150,000 hospitalizations and 30,000–40,000
deaths yearly. If these figures were to be estimated incorporating the rest of the world, there would be an average of approximately 1 billion cases
of flu, around 3–5 million cases of severe illness, and 300,000–500,000 deaths annually.

During pandemics:
Known flu pandemics:[28]
* 1889–90 — Asiatic (Russian) Flu, mortality rate said to be 0.75–1 death per 1000 possibly H2N2
* 1900 — Possibly H3N8
* 1918–20 – Spanish Flu, 500 million ill, at least 20–40 million died of H1N1
* 1957–58 – Asian Flu, 1 to 1.5 million died of H2N2
* 1968–69 – Hong Kong Flu, 3/4 to 1 million died of H3N2

"Overall, the benefit of influenza vaccination is clearest in the elderly, with vaccination in children of questionable benefit. Vaccination of
adults is not predicted to produce significant improvements in public health. The apparent contradiction between vaccines with high efficacy, but low
effectiveness, may reflect the difficulty in diagnosing influenza under clinical conditions and the large number of strains circulating in the
population"

I for one am going to let my body figure this flu out. Not because I'm afraid of the vaccination, but because I feel I'm better off letting my body
fight it.
All vaccinations for flu are more for weakened immune systems anyways.
I doubt I will be "forced" to receive the vaccination. Even to prevent a "pandemic".
