This flu doesn’t seem any worse than a normal flu
But the vaccine does.
It’s way worse for epileptics. 2/3 of the children that have died have epelepsy. It’s twice the death rate of the normal flu.
My daughter has epilepsy, and the articles about the problem have been going around the epilepsy sights.

It’s kind of scary to me.
I’ve had some flu seasons that I have literally lost weeks from fever and illness. I had the H1N1 and it was heavy, but was over in a day or two with a lingering cough.
I’m not saying that I’m for mandatory H1N1 shots for everyone, but I am concerned for my daughter.
The neurologist thinks she should get the vaccine. I’m waiting to hear about side effects.
Since epileptics are a high risk group, I’m hoping they have made sure this vaccine is safe for that group.
