Beyound the autism issues, this flu hasn't been shown to be any more virulent than other strains, and my SIL nearly died from side effects of the original swine flu vaccine. She spent six months paralyzed and in an iron lung.

I haven’t gone particularly out of my way to get it. On the other hand, I have gotten my children vaccinated most years–my twisted reasoning is that I want to avoid their getting sick because if they get sick, I’ll probably get it, and have to take care ofFedorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879033776125666713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-70390468394366360942009-10-14T15:30:23.980-04:002009-10-14T15:30:23.980-04:00Wow...that's interesting, Brenna.

Which means the same people who will likely die from any other flu will die from this one. So far, less have died from H1N1 than any other "flu epidemic" in history.
