I remember all the mothers I know all looking at me weird because I didn't get the shot for me and my kid. I was like...You do know it's just a flu right? Some people had this flu and didn't even know it. It's all the medias fault for making it an 'epidemic' Oh lets make allergies an epidemic! Or or headaches! funkadelichika
It was made into a way bigger deal than it actually was. I had H1N1 and while I was horribly sick, it wasn't any worse than other times I have been sick.
Did you know that about 30,000 to 40,000 people die from the regular flu every year in the U.S. alone?

"Just the flu" actually kills a lot of people.
Yes it does. But so do many other things. I guess I just wasn't into all the fear mongering there was over it. It was pretty bad in my city. Mothers were freaking over it, business's here all put in these 'sanitisers' at the front of their stores for customers. It was far too much fear among the general pop considering the majority of the people who did get it were fine and lived.

I've never taken a flu shot an I'm completely fine. When I get the flu I take care of myself and stay away from stuff that will worsen it. I leave it all to my Immune System. Only people who are either poor or illiterate with poor immune systems die from that stuff. People die all the time, it's a natural thing.
News stopped hyping it and causing mass hysteria, so people forgot about it. I don't think most of the population figured out it was less deadly than the regular FLU, and that it was just another "hyped super virus!" like mad cow, bird flu, etc.
Michael Jackson died, which then caused all the media parasites to swarm over the topic leaving the supposedly one of the most dangerous pandemics alone in the dark.
I really didnt expect it to get to bad even though they said it would explode. Its like they tried to make it look like it was going to be this generations Bubonic Plague. But all in all, its a good thing that they freak out and do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to avoid it spreading, because the overactions are what kept it from exploding.
It was blown out of proportion, just like Bird Flu and SARS. Now no one cares anymore. Thank you very much, media.

so would you of been happier if millions had die. just so it lived up to its hype. maybe the media coverage raised awareness and made people take more care with there hygiene.

I'm not sure where you get your information but I'm pretty sure you need to do some more research there...
