More people die from the regular flu every year than the pig flu.

It is not the flu itself that kills you, it is the complications that can come from it.

Yes, people die from it. Heck, people die from the cold. all I am saying that this is a media and government driven pandemic if you can call it that.

I for one am not going to get a shot. I also told my daughter that besure to really think this through before she has the kids get the vaccine as well. it is her choice. I had four kids and never once did I ever have them get a flu shot.

And this is where the anti-vaccine BS starts to make me angry. I don't really care if someone uses fear and misinformation as an excuse not to get a flu shot. But when they start trying to convince other people not to get a shot for the same incorrect reasons, they put that person at risk. Especially the kids, who are in schools where viruses tend to spread quickly. And because somebody read some incorrect crap on the net and told somebody else that the flu shot is "dangerous," those kids don't get the shot and have to risk suffering the flu or worse.

“More people die from the regular flu every year than the pig flu.”

Not an accurate statistic. The pig flu is attacking young healthy people. The regular flu kills a lot of old sick people. Granted, the young people who are dying usually have an underlying issue but you cannot compare the two flu’s.
