This is what I wrote to the University of Iowa newspaper,
which is circulated in news racks throughout Iowa City,
about the article written titled: UI Tries To Up Flu-shot
Rate.
It must be noted that University of Iowa (UI or UofI) is
vying very strenuously to be one of our nations most
active medical educational institutions, so this really
did catch my eye. Here is my e-mail to the editor, but
it was not published and I never received an answer,
probably because their regard for me has been that I am
black-listed at The Daily Idiot:

I really wonder where the scholastic realm of journalism
has gone to when I read non-objective articles such as
the one written by Zhi Xiong, about influenza
inoculations (Daily Iowan, front page, November 13, 2007).
When there was a spate of toxic results to influenza
inoculations several years ago (about 2003 or 2004), I
heard on a National Public Radio program, in an interview
with several medical research scientists who were
evaluating the viri (the plural of virus is NOT viruses
as Xiong wrote) associated with what we call "the flu".
They all agreed that people should NOT have influenza
vaccine UNLESS AND UNTIL
1) they were diagnosed with the particular virus if they
are already sick, or
2) if the area the people live in is infected by a virus
which can then be identified.
But rarely do doctors take a sample to find out what kind
of virus the patient is infected with.
Flu viri travel by air currents inter-continentally and
trans-oceanically. This follows the typical trade wind
pattern of moving from Asia to America and then to Europe
and on to Asia. Each time the viri settle in an area,
they mutate, and then upon migration, they mutate again.
In our case, we are susceptible to the viri of Asian
origin, except that European and African varieties can
travel by modern transportation in infected individuals.
BUT... influenza viri can remain in a location as well,
so there are mutilple types of new and "senior" influenza
viri in one area.
The problem the scientists pointed out is that there are
more than a dozen different strains of influenza viri in
any given area, and each area's influenza viri are
different from any other location's viri. The antidotes
for one related group of viri can prevent the antidote
for different varieties of influenza, so that it is
crucial to know what influenza viri (or recent mutated
variation of influenza viri) are present in a victim or
in an area. There is no such thing as a general
influenza virus antidote.
The reason for this push to get as many people inoculated,
as is represented in Xiong's article, is because it is
very expensive to produce anti-virus serum. Thus,
economies of scale influence improper response. It's
like throwing darts: if the darts strike and stick in the
dartboard, those viri are killed. If the darts miss,
then the owner will take the dart board away and no darts
can hit the board.
I am surprised that at a medical university such as UofI
that such knowledge cannot be researched by reporters.
