You state you don’t believe CDC info and then you cite a doctor whose entire article is filled with CDC statistics. You don’t even read the articles you cite! What does that say about you?

Just from reading one post of yours it is obvious you know NOTHING about the immune system, nor are you capable of understanding the basic statistics regarding the incidence or prevalence of H1N1.

Most of his info critisizes the CDC. Again, if you have better info, please post a link. You suggest that you know everything about it.

It seems that you’re the one who doesn’t understand how the immune system works:

” The more cells that are infected, the more
difficult it is for the immune system to eliminate the virus and the more
damage the immune system causes by inflammation during the process. Also,
H1N1 may cause even more cytokines to be produced which also make the
inflammation much more severe. This is called a cytokine storm. Young
adults, as they have a very strong immune system, have a very potent
inflammatory response, seemingly more active than in young children or older
adults. Although it seems illogical, their overactive inflammatory response
may put these individuals at higher risk to serious disease due to the damage
it causes in trying to eliminate the virus infection.
