No not sensationalism just facts like them or not.

You would hope standards and testing have advanced and that lessons were learnt but another fact is that its another untested vaccine.

You talk about sensationalism just type "swine flu" into google then click the news tab now that is sensationalism!

A relatively mild strain strain of influenza that causes problems to a tiny fraction of the amount of people that contract it compared to seasonal influenza that kills half a million people a year FACT.

When was the last time you heard people getting worried and rushing out to seek a vaccine because they heard somebody they knew might have caught seasonal flu???? and that is by far the more serious of the two strains of influenza.

And you talk about sensationalism
