Mortailty rates are about equal, actually. But because nobody has any strong natural resistance, H1N1 is more infectious.
The mercury theory has been utterly debunked by numerous epidemiological studies. Looks like you are among those lining up to cleanse the gene pool of Luddites.

I agree with you about the mortality rate, but I have to disagree on mercury. I feel that if it's not a problem then it should still be in child vaccines & it's not, kwim?

Actually, the mortality rates are much higher for H1N1 in pregnant women and children. Alarmingly so.

No, I do know that. It's like 28% higher, right? So that's why I'm so bothered by guidelines not being followed.
by DaniMac on October 29th, 2009
It';s higher in certain populations but on average, I believe I am accurate in saying it is similar to the seasonal flu.

so just ride out the illness for a few days, and avoid the mercury problems.

Works as long as you aren't one of the ones that dies. Personally, seems to me those in the high risk groups should weigh the odds of serious consequences from the disease versus the shot and opt for the vaccine.

1000/325M seems like fairly safe odds...

That's a flawed argument. The disease hasn't run its course. The final death toll will be much higher. And the high risk group is far, far smaller than the entire population.
