I realise tamiflu is just an antiviral drug but Im sure they will release a vaccine for H1N1 very soon, as far as polio and smallpox several studies have proven that these infectious diseases were almost completely gone before the vaccines were introduced. From 1850 to 1940, polio diseases had declined by 90% and were at an all time low, just when vaccines were being introduced, another example of a vaccine being released during a steep natural decline was the meningococcal B vaccine in 2004.

Agreed that Swine Flu has been blown greatly out of proportion and Tamiflu is most likely unnecessary for recovery if you have no prior health/immune problems, as it is just a flu.

But Jesse, firstly Tamiflu is not a vaccine, it is an antiviral, there is quite a difference. And secondly, yes there are plenty of things manufactured for the sake of profit, but don't be so quick to right off all vaccines. Polio and Smallpox for example killed (and paralyzed in the former case) hundreds of thousands of people every year before they were eradicated by vaccination. Sometimes even "healthy" people can benefit from "unnaturally manufactured vaccines".

A healthy person is capable of recovering as long as we refrain from injecting unnaturally manufactured vaccines into the bodies of ourselves, children, and livestock. All you need to ask yourself to determine if this is evil in nature: Why do we need a vaccination against something less lethal than the annual flu?

Create a fear, manufacture, sell the cure…simple economics

#1 Justin, DEAR LORD! how big would you say these 'Superbugs' are? Like Megatron size or more like your average dog? still, this is terrifying and i am living in fear now.

A virus will always mutate, that's what they do. Our immune systems effectively mutate too to combat such viruses.

Don't take drugs and medicine for every little cough you get, stay warm, wash your hands and let your immune system develop and become strong.

The real problem is people being so susceptible to fear mongering in the media. Swine Flu is just a reiteration of SARS or bird flu or whatever.

Swine flu is just a Government funded recession escape for drug companies. What a load of crap.

Stephen #2 - Id like to believe that you are a ground breaking scientist who has dedicated hours of research to the human immune system and the effect drugs have on bacteria, viruses and the human body. That you have used all available resources to come to your conclusion. But.... somehow I don't think so.

Tamilfu has 'dodgy' written all over it anyway, if people had any common sense they wouldn't be taking it (theres plentry of material available to prove this). Besides its just an anti-viral drug anyway its not a 'cure'

Thankfully humans aren't entirely stupid and are starting to show some resistance to the paranoia surrounding swine flu.

#1 Justice. Get a life. Influenza would mutate to avoid our bodies natural defences without any "meddling".

Think before you speak. Amateur.

live in fear people!, not of H1N1 but of huge pharma companies that help create these superbugs in the first place by their constant meddling with nature!
