Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Reading this stuff about the Google FluTrends thing (really - it's probably was just some otherwise bored programmer's pet project for fun.. And then the CDC said, " Hmmm.... " ), and see the damn never- ending CVS commericals for 1-800-FLU-SHOT.. Perhaps I should call them and pester them with all manner of peer-reviewed studies, plus the Fudenberg info about Alzheimers (once I find the actually testimony/journal articles). And I wonder - why the flu? Why NOW? This is not BIRD FLU - and anyway, I thought that if bird flu did make the jump to humans, we wouldn't be able to really make a vaccine quickly enough.. (Guess it's back to the 'dark ages' of zinc, selenium, B vitamins, vitamin A, E, D, K, etc I guess.. AND CORTISOL - flu messes with ACTH production) But why NOW? Is it something particular about the flu that made them decide that it was uber-dangerous this year whereas last year it was.. I don't know.. just ho-hum? Or is this on the heals of the decision to " recommend " the flu shot for kids 6, 12 months and every year until 18 (and then onwards to the Grave..). Or just general 'vaccine hysteria'?
