However the part of it all that I took the most note of was the large scale mistrust of the value of immunization and with it science in general, with some attitudes only changing for some when it appeared that they may be in greater danger if the didn’t get the shot then if they did.

Here, in Germany, I've heard some pretty bad stories of people who got really sick afterwards.

With the H1N1, it is different. Healthy young people and pregnant people are dying from it. It can evolve quite fast (within a week) to a very serious complication.

Nice to live in a civilized country. <br /><br />Here in Brazil the government massively *removed* Tamiflu (and similar drugs) from the drugstores in the beginning of the outbreak of the H1N1 flu, with fear that the population would use it without control, leading to virus resistance. <br /><br />The result in any case was bad enough, Christinehttp://egregium.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-9185030765777232322009-11-27T04:00:21.717-05:002009-11-27T04:00:21.717-05:00Hi Phil,
