"<br /><br />Joel Kettner, Manitoba's chief public health officer, said there is no danger in getting the vaccine if you've already had H1N1, but also little benefit. <br /><br />Kettner also said the vaccine is not being used to stop the flu bug's spread, so there is no need to get the vaccine to reach any particular protection level among the larger population. <br /><br />"We're using this vaccine mostly for the purposes of individual protection," he said. <br /><br />He added that every time someone gets sick, they pose a risk to others. <br /><br />But Kettner noted that he personally wouldn't consider anyone who doesn't get the shot socially irresponsible. <br /><br />"It's just a matter a judgment," he said."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11739687731359712608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803291734391578252.post-9901755949766385162009-10-31T07:27:00.000-07:002009-10-31T18:42:00.177-07:00Makers Of Vaccine Refuse To Take H1N1<object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B4SmFxyust0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B4SmFxyust0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />Did it cross anyones mind that this could become like the "I AM LEGION" Movie.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11739687731359712608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803291734391578252.post-10964988151228014552009-10-31T07:09:00.000-07:002009-10-31T18:31:28.099-07:00Toronto Canada - Dad of 13-year-old killed by swine flu urges parents to watch kids carefully<a href="http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20091028/320_cp24_frustaglio_father.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20091028/320_cp24_frustaglio_father.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>"Paul Frustaglio reacts while talking to the media about the death of his thirteen-year-old son Evan Frustaglio in Toronto, on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009.

The Mexican government closed most of Mexico City's public and private offices and facilities to try to contain the spread of the virus but it was too late and the virus quickly spread globally. On June 11, 2009, WHO declared the outbreak to be a pandemic.<br /><br />What is Swing flu?<br /><ul><li>Swine flu (swine influenza) is a respiratory disease caused by viruses that infect the respiratory tract of pigs and result in nasal secretions, a barking-like cough, decreased appetite, and other kinds of behavior. </li><li>Swine flu produces most of the same symptoms in pigs as human flu produces in people.</li><li>Swine flu can last about one to two weeks in pigs that survive. </li><li>Investigators think the 2009 swine flu strain, first seen in Mexico, should be termed novel H1N1 flu since it is mainly found infecting people and exhibits two main surface antigens, H1 (hemagglutinin type 1) and N1 (neuraminidase type1).<br /></li></ul><p> </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11739687731359712608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803291734391578252.post-30373740528196021002009-10-31T06:32:00.000-07:002009-10-31T06:33:19.572-07:00Privacy Policy<p><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></p><p></p><p>This website/blog uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads when visiting this site.
