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.

Since when do conservatives decry the advantages to the human condition derived from practice of medical sciences which includes public health. Since when do conservatives believe there is a constitutional right to the transmission of mortal or debilitating diseases. Since when did homeopathy leap from being another whacko hippy cult to being a whacko conservative belief.
This is nothing but the elevation of the ignorance of the denizens of Appalachia into a cult. It is really evil.
Do we really want a repeat of plague, polio, smallpox or the 1918 Spanish Influenza. I am appalled at the willful ignorance of this crowd.
