Just saw this, was anyone aware?

Swine flu could hit up to 40% in U.S. this year and next without vaccine - USATODAY.com

What concerns me is the vaccine.... Look at what happened to the last "swine flu" This flu isn't even swine flu, it is H1N1. This is even weaker than the typical flu strains.

Didn't the last vaccine during the last flu outbreak kill more than the flu itself?

Not really sure. It all reminds of the movie Outbreak.

Here is the genetic makeup of the S-OIV (H1N1) virus since 1918:

Only 3 of the 8 genes are Swine... nice pretty colors!

"...In April 2009, near the end of the usual influenza season in the Northern Hemisphere, the first two cases of S-OIV were identified in the United States.43 The CDC confirmed that these cases were caused by a genetically similar swine virus that had not been previously identified in the United States.44 Genetic analysis of the strains showed that they were derived from a new reassortment of six gene segments from the known triple reassortant swine virus, and two gene segments (NA and matrix protein) from the Eurasian influenza A (H1N1) swine virus lineage.43,45"

My second cousin,a Madison Heights Mi. police officer died of H1N1 last month. He was 28 years old! Google it if interested. It was and is a major mess. Half the department had it and they denied his wife and three kids line of duty benefits (Last I heard)
