Re: Americans Give Up on Flu Vaccine, Survey Shows

I vote they will spray the air with something that will give flu-like symptoms

and make people panic.

Americans Give Up on Flu Vaccine, Survey Shows

Now no one will get the flu and they will tell us it was a mild year

OR

they will spray something from the sky over everyone and punish them so

next year they will kill for the vaccine

" In an average year, influenza kills 36,000 people and puts 200,000 into

Americans Give Up on Flu Vaccine, Survey Shows

Thu Dec 16, 2004 04:29 PM ET

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Millions of Americans, frightened off by news

reports of long lines or discouraged by their own failed attempts, have

given up on getting flu shots this year, U.S. health officials said on

Thursday.

But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there were still

enough flu vaccines left for people who really need them and urged the

elderly and other priority groups to get the shots.

There is still time because the influenza season, which peaks in

February,

is off to a slow start and vaccines are still being distributed, said

CDC

head Dr. Gerberding.

" Early in the season when there were long lines, people did get

discouraged, " Gerberding told a news conference.

This year's vaccine supply was disrupted when one of two major makers,

California's Chiron Corp., lost the license at its British manufacturing

plant because of bacterial contamination and had to scrap 48 million

doses.

That left the other manufacturers to try and make up as much of the gap

as

possible. Aventis has supplied most of the remaining 61 million doses

that

will be available, and the U.S. government has arranged to buy several

million more doses from GlaxoKline's German supply, as needed.

The CDC estimates that 185 million Americans are either in the higher

risk

categories -- over the age of 50, under the age of two, pregnant or

having

a chronic condition such as diabetes or the AIDS virus -- or healthcare

workers or caregivers who need to protect contacts from flu.

LACK OF DEMAND

But many people who should get vaccinated fail to do so and this year

the

CDC predicted that up to 50 million Americans who fall into the

recommended

category are expected to seek the vaccine.

The CDC and Harvard University researchers surveyed Americans and found

that 63 percent of seniors and 46 percent of adults with chronic

illnesses

who tried to get the shot were able to. Half of those eligible did not

try.

Gerberding said she was pleased with the statistics for babies aged 6 to

23

months, who were this year for the first time added to the " recommended "

category for flu vaccine.

Many elderly people still believe the vaccine can give them flu,

Gerberding

added. " We know that vaccine does not cause flu. But there is a

disproportionate number of people in old age groups that are afraid it

does, " she said.

In an average year, influenza kills 36,000 people and puts 200,000 into

the

hospital in the United States.

The CDC has been working to redistribute flu shots, which are mostly

bought

and distributed by private groups and employers. Gerberding denied a

report

that government funds aimed at vaccinating poor children had been

diverted

to the flu vaccine efforts.

I don't know about you all, but, the last time (and ONLY) I got the flu shot

with the military, I had flu like symptoms for approximately one month. I

would have rather of had the flu and gotten it over with in a week, then to

be down for a month.

Here's my prediction: Americans WILL get the flu and will go to the

hospital for antibiotics. (known to be effective). The CDC will then claim

that due to a lack of vaccinations, and over prescribing of antibiotics,

antibiotics will now be resistant to the flu, and therefore, the flu vaccine

will be " dire " otherwise mass casualties and deaths are sure to happen.

I'll place $20.00

;-)

antibiotics aren't effective against the flu as is a virus (if you believe

their categories of virus and bacteria)

only good for symptoms caused by bacteria - secondary complications.
