Yes several people have died from this flu but I think if we looked at all of them we would find that there were alot of underlying causes that contributed to their deaths. I am not minimizing the effects of this flu but we have to keep things in perspective. Even the yearly flu can cause deaths. I don't think there are going to be any more of the H1N1 than what we see yearly anyway. This panic and hype went around just a few years ago when the bird flu was being touted as the next possible pandemic. I guess a little scare isn't bad though because people are more cautious and vigilant about sanitary practices, taking care of themselves more etc. That alone can keep most illnesses at bay.
With that being said, I like The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears. He provides facts and then lets the parents/caretakers make up their own minds about what is right for children as well as adults. He keeps his site updated with the most current information.
Babylady4...there isn't any definate proof yet about the link b/n autism and vaccines but they are now considering it as a possibility and doing more research to determine/prove that. Actually they aren't just doing more research into the link with just autism but other adverse effects as well, behavior problems, seizures etc. The medical profession has finally started to admit the link between environmental factors and various behavioral issues...adhd/add etc so I think it's a matter of time before they prove/disprove the autism/vaccine link.
