If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.

One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

the H1N1 or Swine Flu virus did put our country in disarray for quite sometime, it is good to know that at least it did not cause so many deaths.

Great post, Julie. I’m distressed by how many otherwise reasonable people have bought into the fear-based myths surrounding the H1N1 vaccine.
Personally, I would love to get the vaccine but have yet to do so because I can’t justify using up a dose when we are in such short supply, and there is likely someone who needs it far more than I do. But I worry about my 6 month old baby, who up until now has been considered too young for the vaccine. Hopefully, our pediatrician will have some available at his well-baby check up next week.
