It would be interesting to get real, tangible and accurate numbers.
ESPECIALLY due to the fact that communications these days are far better than during the Spanish Flu outbreak. Accurate numbers should be fairly easy
to get.
Well here in the Uk it would be impossible to get factual numbers due to the government telling local GPs (general practisioners)not to see people,
just take phone calls and assume anyone who felt hot, sore and had the runs should be classed as having swine flu.
I will give you some hard facts....my wife has accute lung problems and is on high doses of steroids and anti-biotics many times a year. We spoke to
our doctor and his team about the risks of her not getting the vaccine.
Out of our practises staff team of 11, 10 including the 3 doctors, 3 nurses, 4 receptionists refused it. Only 1 nurse had the vaccine. Advice to my
wife and I. " Its not a pandemic, others who are ill have had the flu and its been less mild but not worth the risk of a new vaccine".
Result, None of my familey volunteered to have it and my daughter refused to let the grandkids have it. Are we healthy? yes.
I have heard of very few people who have been realy ill with this flu, nor has my doctor. It was a scam. A scam that has shown TPTB that we are not as
stupid as we look.
