Mandatory Vaccinations

and they made such a fuss over a version of the flu that is weaker and has killed less than the normal flu does.

I hate when people say things like this. The reason the H1N1 flu didn't kill as many people as the normal flu is because the governments DID make a big fuss about it. If they didn't do you think people would have been vaccinated? Probably not. People also wouldn't have taken as many precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. That's the key word, prevent. What do you think would happen, hypothetically, if the government hadn't done anything and instead the disease went rampant killing many people? What then? Do you think you would complain more then or now? It pains me to see things like this since the only real way to know if a disaster were really averted or not is to see if people actually would have died from it, and it's impossible to do that. The best we can do is to try to prevent things from happening, and never know if it was successfully prevented.
