H1N1 Is “Old Hat”

Various strains of the H1N1 flu virus have been around for decades, if not longer. In fact, the H1N1 strain has been included in every influenza vaccine since 1977.

However, the current strain differs from its predecessors in that it contains a mix of human, bird and swine strains. Health

The use of ionic air purifiers with HEPA filters goes a long way in killing many germs, including those associated with the flu bug. For more information on ionics, click HERE

officials have emphasized that although H1N1 is not new, this version - designated H1N1-09 - has never been seen before and in fact, it is extremely aggressive and overpowers other influenza viruses.

According to “H1N1: Separating Myth From Fact,” deaths from H1N1-09 are running about 1 percent of those infected… far below the rate of ordinary flu strains. In spite of this, the UN World Health Organization continues screaming “pandemic, pandemic.” Unfortunately, we won’t know the truth of the matter until it’s “de facto.”

Since vaccines containing the H1N1 strain have been around for roughly 32 years, those over 50 may have already developed quite an immunity against the H1N1-09 which will protect them. So does that mean the “over 50” group don’t have to be vaccinated?

Not necessarily. Others believe that if people aren’t vaccinated, we could see a lot more complications and a lot more hospitalizations
