Science Vs Swine Flu: tonight
By Fiona MacDonald
As if diminished sunlight, cold weather and blasting heating systems were not bad enough for our immune systems, this year, just to spice winter up, we faced a pandemic. Yes I’m talking about H1N1, something you’re probably all sick of hearing about.
There have been conspiracy theories (did USA big pharmaceutical companies create the virus to boost sales, or was it a terrorist group?), panic (no, we’re not all going to die) and a lot of miscommunication (twitter as a main culprit!).
But all of the talk and hysterical media coverage is drowning out the most important question in my opinion: what’s going on with the vaccine?
