    It's always easier to ridicule than to educate.

  • @inkey2 yes, your Dna from your Grandfather will recognize the flu, and fight against it with a better strength than those of use whose ancestors didnt survive etc.

  • @Hawkflieshigh : i wonder....my grandfather caught the 1918 flu and lived through it. Does that mean i might have better immunity from this style of flu in the future. I know nothing about medical topics so if this question sounds moronic....my apologies

  • Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh criticisms of the governments plan to vaccinate virtually the entire U.S. population with a poorly tested vaccine that is not only ineffective against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many more people than it helps.

  • the 1918 H1N1 virus strain virus having it's origins in Kansas not Spain. Reported to be spread by Solders around the world.

    Victims died within hours of symptoms of fluid in lungs making vectoring around the world before air travel unlikely. Rockefeller Institute started 1901 worlds largest germ school? Oswald T. Avery came to Rockefeller in 1913 to study differences in virulence among strains of pneumococcus, a bacterium that causes severe pneumonia H1N1?.

    Did the Institute culture H1N1?

  • Its the virus created to mass vaccinate you. Just drink the water and take your shots like good sheeple.

  • The worst is yet to come if this vaccine is given on mass. Baxter the vaccine manufacturer is being investigated by the FBI - charges filed by journalist Jane Bergermeister. Baxter sent H5N1 tainted vaccines to 16 countries for mass production of this falls' flu vaccine manufacturing. It's about what we eat to stay healthy, not the unknown toxins we inject into our body by an industry that stands to make billions.

  • It is the protein type the virus uses to enter cells. Cells regularly use these proteins, so the virus appears to be fuel/food, because it's outer shell is covered in those proteins.

  • I am very impressed that the US Government is putting informational videos like this on Youtube. Good job.

  • what does H1n1 mean again?
