Sorry this is the third posting.  wish we had the editing capability again so that I could consolidate postings.  But this one is I believe interesting with possible human consequences.  From ProMed .

Abstract
- --------
The current pandemic influenza A H1N1 2009 (pH1N1) was first 
recognized in humans with acute respiratory diseases in April 2009 in 
Mexico, in swine in Canada in June 2009 with respiratory disease, and 
in turkeys in Chile in June 2009 with a severe drop in egg production 
[see ProMED 2009 refs. below]. Several experimental studies attempted 
to reproduce the disease in turkeys, but failed to produce respiratory 
infection in turkeys using standard inoculation routes. We 
demonstrated that pH1N1 virus can infect the reproductive tract of 
turkey hens after experimental intrauterine inoculation, causing 
decreased egg production. This route of exposure is realistic in 
modern turkey production because turkey hens are handled once a week 
for intrauterine insemination in order to produce fertile eggs. This 
understanding of virus exposure provides an improved understanding of 
the pathogenesis of the disease and can improve poultry husbandry to 
prevent disease outbreaks.

Protection Against 2009 H1N1 To Be Included in 2010-2011 Seasonal Flu Vaccine

A key U.S. Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committee recommended today that protection against the 2009 H1N1 virus, which was first identified last April, be included in the 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine starting this fall.  That means that, barring some unforeseen circumstance, this fall, most Americans will be able to return to the traditional routine of having one flu vaccine to protect them against the major circulating flu viruses.  As is always the case with seasonal vaccine, younger children who have never had a seasonal vaccine will still need two doses.

Rotarix rotavirus vaccine contaminated, officials say
http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/03/22/rotavirus.vaccine/?hpt=T2

This is a probable answer as to why older people did not get H1N1 influenza as easily as younger people.  It also explains why the N1H1 spread as much as it did and why there was such concern.  This is the proof of what was "thought".  And by the way VO this study was not done by the private sector

Thanks for the link. Interesting article.

My 94 year-old mom (born in 1916) had the 1918 flu and has never been sick since.
She thinks I'm weak because I get a cold or two every year.

Well, I guess she has had a few colds over the years.

Say it ain't so...

Reports accuse WHO of exaggerating H1N1 threat, possible ties to drug makers

European criticism of the World Health Organization's handling of the H1N1 pandemic intensified Friday with the release of two reports that accused the agency of exaggerating the threat posed by the virus and failing to disclose possible influence by the pharmaceutical industry on its recommendations for how countries should respond.

It looks like much of the "organized" institutional reaction to the swine flu amounted to a minor debacle.

The probability that a deadly, and contagious, infectious disease will appear in the future is still high.

We can hope that the people in charge of the response learn some important lessons from this.

So, let us understand this:  The WHO reacts to documents written by experts with monetary ties to the industry that produces the drugs used to treat H1N1 influenza.  Two possible scenarios

1)  WHO does as it has done and reacts in accordance with the "expert" and possibly "tainted" advice and since the pandemic is not as serious as predicted it is criticized for doing so;

  or

2)  WHO does NOT follow the advice in the report and the pandemic is as serious as the "expert's* report says it would be then WHO would have been criticized for not doing what the expert's recommended resulting in many deaths.

Conclusion:   WHO (and Govts. that followed its recommendations) could not be right under any circumstance except if the rate of serious disease turned out to be as predicted.  Notice the word "predicted.

The Shadow calls your attention to post 66 on this topic... Same idea

In addition, was the spread of the disease lower because the virus was not as "transmissible" as feared or because so many got immunized that there was what is called "herd immunity"?

The Shadow wishes people understood communicable disease dynamics.

Good points but when we do have a major and serious contagious infectious disease, it doesn't look like our political and public health system will be able to handle it.

Actually I believe it will  be handled.  Of course there will be the usual finger pointing etc.  but the infrastructure is in place.  The main problem will be the know-it-all(s) that will resist any direction no matter the risk to themselves and others.  The infrastructure has to be in place as a matter of national security to ward off biological terrorism.
