[James C. Bennett]

Absolutely no question the flu vaccine works. It can be debated whether everyone should get it, but the gigantic pandemics do not occur like they used to occur.

So how come Europe is not getting any of those gigantic pandemics in spite of the low vaccination rates?

The data, whether anyone chooses to believe it, prove that the vaccine is effective.

Influenza pandemics are rare these days, but I'm sure Europe still suffers from serious bouts with the flu. Yurps don't vaccinate because the government controls healthcare. This is exactly what Obamacare will be bringing our way if given enough time.

All that doesn't take away from the fact that professional health organizations in this country recommend the flu vaccine because it's effective. European attitudes toward healthcare are nothing to tout.
