I don't want to panic anyone, but Ebola may be coming to a town near you
At least we won't have to slog through another 7-9 Chiefs season....

My wife caught chicken pox as an adult because Fort Worth's school district used to allow parents to get religious waivers for vaccinations super easy. Well, after a mini-outbreak of chicken pox in a couple schools the waivers became tougher to get. My wife was substitute teaching at the time and that's how we learned about how easy the waivers were to obtain. After some substantial bitching about the lost wages and the mini-outbreak, the waiver policy changed within a school year (apparently we weren't the only ones bitching). Shit pissed me off that assholes were sending their unvaccinated kids to school because they're ****ing morons and didn't believe in vaccines or believed shit like BigDaddy. |

It's commonly accepted that between 5 and 20% of the population gets influenza EVERY year, so no, I don't find the figure that outrageous. Now, why do you think CDC would lie about the numbers?

As far as the commonly accepted percentage, I have no idea. I don't get vaccinated and I have had it twice in 52 years. Maybe I am just lucky. My wife has had it once. My kid has never had it. How many times have you?

Why did CDC stop reporting confirmed and probable 2009 H1N1 flu cases? Individual case counts were kept early during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak when the 2009 H1N1 virus first emerged. As the outbreak expanded and became more widespread, individual case counts become increasingly impractical and not representative of the true extent of the outbreak. This is because only a small proportion of persons with respiratory illness are actually tested and confirmed for influenza (including 2009 H1N1) so the true benefit of keeping track of these numbers is questionable. In addition, the extensive spread of 2009 H1N1 flu within the United States made it extremely resource-intensive for states to count individual cases. On July 24, 2009, CDC discontinued reporting of individual cases of 2009 H1N1, but continued to track hospitalizations and deaths.

I don't get the flu vaccine and never have. I've gotten it probably three times in my life, but can only assume, as I've never been tested positive.

It's not like there haven't been endless CDC scandals. At the end of the day I don't care. I am not like these scaredy-cats with major control issues. If people are scared and like vaccines knock yourself out, just don't tell me what to do.

I would just like to chime in to say that my ex-girlfriend did, in fact, catch the swine flu.

No, I don't have the resources or time to research it. My only points were that IMO the CDC has no credibility because of the endless scandals. My other point was that swine flu was never the pandemic it was made out to be. Once that was being confirmed they quit testing. That is all.

Yeah, I got it. It was like a bad case of the flu. Four-ish days later, I was good to go.
