Conclusion

Swine flu is a variety of common flu.

Symptoms aren’t dangerous.

Influenza A pandemics already existed.

Reduced death ratings.

Exaggerated reaction to the virus.

Do you think the World Health Organization has attached too much importance to the H1N1?

Do you support the invest of such a huge amount of money on vaccines we don’t need?

Have the politicians and WHO reactions to this flu made the people feel fearful?
