Were there a conspiracy, they'd probably kill those who don't take the vaccine rather than those who do.

That's a good possibility, but not the only one. Mini-Me wrote an excellent post here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=2291325&postcount=52

Another really meaningless poll...

Risk of what?

Risk of dying? Taking the vaccine.

Risk of getting sick? About the same, most likely.

Risk of getting the swine flu itself? Slightly higher if you don't use a vaccine.

What gets me is that no one has really established that the H1N1 is much worse than the regular flu. People are dying because they have underlying conditions, don't treat the symptoms, or are just plain unlucky. People die of the "regular flu" every year, which is a misrepresentation because there are loads and loads of regular flu strains out there. This is just going to become another one.
