Besides, you prevent that way the natural culling of the more sickly and less fit humans.

As a point of interest, the flu of 1918 attacked mostly the most physically fit. They believe this was due to a earlier bug that passed through that infected the less fit and built up their immunity.

I also keep hearing that there are concerns the 1957 Asian flu (Peking A I think) might make a comeback and those born past 1968 are susceptible.
