Youth Attack

" half of a problem talking about H1N1."

" And the fact that it really has hit younger people more than the older population we have some statistics about that from the CDC. That shows that those people or under 25 years old 25%. Of the deaths. I have affected people under 25 if you're 25 to 64 that's 65%. Of the deaths. Only a 10% of the deaths are 65 and older and -- that seems to be a reverse. Of the usual flu do we know why."

" This is -- day I think so it is -- reverse I mean this seasonal flu the regular flu has always affected. Older people the reason I think. Is that probably over the years. And there have been. Outbreaks minor outbreaks. Of this. H1N1. Type. Virus and that over the years older people who've been exposed to it have developed some immunity. So that they are more immune to it now than younger people who have never experienced the earlier. Epidemic or pandemic or outbreaks. And the important thing is that these younger people because they have no immunity at all to this particular virus. Especially if they have other diseases and evolving their immune system are at risk and you ask you what to do. If you're waiting in line and there's no vaccine you get a copy my book and you read it while you're waiting ten. And that makes it easier to you know -- and that's frustrating yeah."

" I was gonna mention it because so many people after we mentioned it last time did go out and by doctor of the hard it is available on Amazon.com. And we also had given a number you can find it folks it's definitely worthwhile read thank you and perhaps your next one will be on a tornado could you for holiday it's so closely for us we appreciate. You made the point also what I saw you on Huckabee last night that the seasonal flu is here. Or not here rather. H1N1. Is here right now and you need to get the vaccination. Seasonal flu is not here yet. You still have a little bit of time but you must get the seasonal --"

" There's no question in my mind. The people who get to seasonal flu vaccine have increased some increase in resistance to the as swine flu or H1N1. So this is benefiting absolutely. And -- and I was just -- bottom line he can get because a lot of people waiting just a matter of waiting for to be available. Yeah and I think. I think it's they're they're speeding up the the manufacturing process I mean the president is involved there is and they're doing everything they can but the important thing is. Don't stand in line and don't wait for it. Because they don't have time to ask questions are you are you do you need it and you coming your video you get the injection. Don't stand in line unless you are really high priority risks. I saw many people and the -- I want to emphasize pregnant women especially. And the kids definitely kids definitely."

" Do you think this'll be resolved the issue of the shortage because they do about four. Manufacturers for pharmaceuticals. Names you would know that contract to to make sure that they would have been millions and millions of doses that were needed in time. They ran into some issues in the development of the vaccine and now so many people are waiting. Will -- is that's that could have been avoided shouldn't have been avoided."

" I can't tell you that mean it should have been avoided. But in the manufacturing process anything can happen I'm sure their motivation. Was good not only for the public good but for the profit of the selling their -- vaccine but these things happen."

" And so far no issue of mutation it looks like the H1N1 vaccine that people will get when it is available is the correct vaccine for this strain."

" And that's a very very important point. These. -- these viruses. Mutate they changed they changed to protect themselves because every time they change and go out there we've got a new vaccine against them so they are always changing it's a competition between us and them. And everything I said about the H1N1 vaccine and and virus now -- Applies to this current strain it is possible. That in the weeks and months to come that this relatively mild. Infection. May mutate and become serious and that's why physicians and -- must be very very alert to changes in symptoms and severity. And which. Groups of the of their patients are more -- sicker than others. As of distinct possibility not probability but possibility. That this could be -- benign. Virus who have the swine flu for a will change and become serious it's an ongoing vigil."

" Okay -- on the bottom line get the seasonal flu shot even if you can't get smart and if you're in the high priority get -- and when when you can but keep in mind as doctor Rosenfeld has been saying all along that this strain of H1N1 is considered mild. He can be treated. You need to recognize the symptoms one of the differences between it and seasonal flu we learned today is gastrointestinal. Discomfort. I'll save you the specifics on that when you know what I'm talking about that's important."
