It might be losing momentum in the media, but I'm sure there are still plenty of people afraid of the possibility of long-term problems. And I think the medical researchers (and vested interests holding back any negative findings) are to blame. Even if it may or may not be true. I mean, what would have happened if they came out and said that mercury in vaccines cause certain illnesses? Could you imagine the scope of the lawsuits? There would be nobody who would want to have anything to do with vaccine production.
I'll be getting the H1N1 vaccine because I worry about getting it from other people in public. The issue is that I have a low risk of getting this compared to other groups. And the health industry isn't doing very well getting the vaccine out to those that are high risk in a orderly fashion in th big cities (lines start at 3am for high risk groups), and they run out.
And I have no faith in the American public at maintaining a true quarantine of any length. And the more people rely on tamiflu, the more chance that it will mutate into a new strain.
