What is the efficacy of the flu prevention programs?

Anybody have a handle on the data?

Seems like the guidance has been that the innoculations are important for the very old and very young, but maybe not so important to others.

Like the "blowback" that occurs so often in foreign affairs, there are always "unintended consequences."

dbackjon,

You have initiated an important topic worthy of discussion.

My questions to you:

1. Do you wish your thread to be discussed seriously, civilly, and rationally?

2. Based on your past experience, do you think the juvenile delinquents among the posters to the political folder in general, and this thread in particular, will ever tire of congratulating themselves on successfully lighting their own farts, and finally get on with the business of discussing your topic?

[dbackjon]

1) Yes
2) Probably not, but don't feed them

Because WE ALL KNEW THE SWINE FLU would hit in April.
What a pathetic attempt at blaming the Republicans for another disaster...

Not at all. The whole point of prepardness to to be ready WHEN things like this happen.

Just like Piyush Jindal making fun of Volcano Monitoring, right before a volcano blew up in Alaska


No one is blaming Republicans for this disaster, just lack of good priorities.

It's like the GOP wanting to eliminate the Dept. of Energy in the late 90's... then Enron manipulated the CA power grid in the summer of 99 and they mysteriously stopped advocating for it.

Susan Collins, call your office! You have a stack of messages from Arlen Specter.

Why does it matter how it's discussed..?
simply skip over the posts you don't like and respond to the ones you do...
