But won't they have taken the vaccine, being old and vulnerable...?
You would hope so, but there is no harm in damage control.
Ok, so with cars, the solution to this danger is to give up the convenience of cars in order to ride a bicycle instead. This makes life more difficult for the average commuter.
In the case of influenza, the solution to the danger here is to take a vaccine. Thus people give up the convenience of...what?
There's nothing analogous to lose in this instance, it doesnt fit..
How about the reliability and mutability of our own immune system ?

Because it will be practically identical to the normal flu vaccination. Any sort of vaccination is usually where they give your body a dead or crippled sample of the virus so it can develop the correct antibody, then when you do catch it the antibody is there so you can flush it out of your system in a matter of days.
The human immune system , in most cases , is perfectly capable of doing that on it's own.
Normal flu , theres no such thing as swine flu , it's a buzz word to create fear and confusion so the people manufacturing the vaccine can get rich.
For most yes, with an added bout of flu of course.
Oh do stop with your nonsense. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Have you studied any medical related sciences?
I would much rather have a vaccine and never get flu than have to miss a few days off work and feel like crap.
If the human body was so awesome at destroying viruses why did we ever suffer from polio, smallpox, measles etc?
Would you go somewhere where catching yellow fever was a possibility without taking the vaccine?
My friend had the vaccine over a week ago and has been off work since with extreme side effects and intensified flu like symptoms.
think you're confusing swine flu with Santa Clause, he's not real, swine flu is a specific mutation of flu, and therefore does exist
Those conditions are all slightly more dangerous than flu
... because nutrition and general sanitation was utterly pants at the time. Those diseases were rife in the age where you drank beer, or gin, to quench thirst because it was the *only* source of clean water. The water supply was dirtier than the Thames.
But it's just flu all the same.
ok, a lorry and a mini, are they the same?
It is a real thing. "Swine Flu" is the dubbed name for a specific strand of Influenza. There is no "one flu" as it is a mutating virus, much like the common cold is. This is why we cannot be completely immune to it, and is also why we can fall ill of it many times in our life span.
Fundamentally yes , visually no.
