I just read this and it made my head spin. All 4 members of my household received the vaccine 10/28/09, i still have the receipt. My DD was diagnosed with H1N1 on 11/13/09 and sent home with Tamiflu (also provided to the rest of us). She was hospitalized with pleural effusion/pneumonia and blood infection early in the am on 11/16/09. I spent 10 days with her in the hospital sleeping on a cabinet while her poor little body struggled.
Over New Years DH was the first infected and it spread. January 2, 2010 my husband was the first one sick, I got test confirmed/State lab confirmed H1N1 on the 3rd or 4th, my son was test confirmed H1N1 the 5th or 6th.
I don't know who these researchers were looking at but my household was a 100% fail rate.
The numbers were low because of mismanagement, not because people weren't sick. During the whole episode Dr's and the Gov't handled the situation terribly. They refused to count anyone who wasn't lab or test confirmed a positive even though the test wasn't anywhere near 100% accurate and made the lab tests virtually unattainable. The only reason my Dr got me through was a multi-hour conversation with the State with my vaccine receipt in hand because he, believing the statistics on the vaccine as good, thought I must have a mutation.
The whole mess was an epic failure and I hope they use the situation as a teaching moment because next time the disease can be incalculably worse. This is definitely not an atta' boy moment
