Jeering for protection?
by Barbora Misakova
It is few days what I have read somewhere on the internet an article or blog about swine flu and new arising questions connected with it. Some people were asking if it was real, if it was really so dangerous that we could die on it. Some of them were also questioning the necessity of vaccination. First panic was replaced by lack of interest on one side and anger on the other side. Most of the people are not afraid anymore. They were just oversaturated by totally different views and information. Danger of infection lost its power among the people as most of the world’s governments were not able to fight against swine flu effectively. The info lines were not working, th! e information about effects of vaccine were confusing etc. People get angry and then lost their interest in this matter. On the other side there are politicians trying to solve the question of vaccination: to be or not to be vaccinated. A new problem arose in France. Last summer, when the country was preparing for a flu epidemic, the government purchased 94 million doses for 869 million Euros. It was enough for 100 % of the population. Now, when only 5 million of people got vaccinated, there are too many surplus swine flu vaccines. That’s why France seeks buyers. Many politicians and scientists are pointing at the campaign which cost nearly 2 billion Euros, what represents three times bigger amount of money than is allocated for cancer research in a four-year period. But is it all about money? I think the biggest irony is that French government has to face jeering for (actually praiseworthy) attempt to protect every single inhabitant of France.
