Seems I posted on a discontinued thread about this, but I'm gonna say the same thing here.
It is now claimed this is H1N1, nothing else. I don't get how they can say it's not H1N1, then completely turn around and suddenly say it is. Around here the media is using it as an excuse as to why we should take the shot. Is this why? More fear propaganda to scare the masses into vaccination?

I don't buy it, and neither does a few of my fellow countrymen which have pressed charges towards our health officials for actively spreading fear mongering propaganda and blatantly lie about the severeness and deadlyness of H1N1, not to mention the safety of the fluvaccine.
We got 29 official reports on severe/unusual sideeffects of the vaccine here now, along with one death that occured 3 days after a woman in her twenties took the shot. She was in the highrisk group for fatal H1N1. It's denied that the vaccine had anything to do with the sudden, unexpected death after taking the vaccine.
Compare that to, what, 5 deaths and severeal hundred reports of severe reactions in Sweden, I'm thinking numbers around here is hushed down.
Today it was mentioned on tv, right after childrens tv, that kids up to 14 years of age are in the biggest risk of getting this flu. I find this as a repulsive attempt to scare the kids, so they in turn will turn on their parents if they choose not to take the shot.
I'd kick some butts if I thought it would help, and I wasn't in need of darn crutches cause of my recent ancle surgery! :P
