It seems that no vaccine in recent history has met with as much public suspicion and fear as the new H1N1 vaccine. Commonly referred to as the “swine flu,” H1N1 causes a wide range of symptoms, from mild to lethal. The body count is already high for this time of year, and it is expected to soar much higher, according to the CDC. So why are so many people refusing the vaccination? The heart of the resistance seems less the clamor of an “uninformed” public than the vociferous objections of more than a few healthcare professionals.
