In Sweden, almost everyone was vaccinated with Pandemrix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix I think this is not the same exact drug as Tamiflu, but the parallels - mass vaccination etc - are worth drawing. The scary thing about Pandemrix is that some people - mostly children and young adults - immediately got narcolepsy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcolepsy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcolepsy Now the various investigations have all said they can find no link between narcolepsy and Pandemrix, and yet they don't really explain the suddenness of it all. Seems a hell of a coincidence. Narcolepsy is not some silly little "sleep disorder". This was really brought home to me - literally - by knowing someone who's child got it hours after their Pandemrix jab =( The micro-problem here is the Swedish state trying to avoid paying for care (its untreatable, as I understand it) and all that wrangling about taking responsibility. I think most parents of suffers are really out to share around the burden of responsibility, rather than caring so much about the costs of care. The macro-problem is convincing people that the next time we are told to go get a jab, we should :( Here's Penn & Teller talking about Vaccines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfdZTZQvuCo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfdZTZQvuCo Science isn't going to win over my wife as easily as all that. And I am very divided myself, however rational I try and be.
