The good news is that for the first time in more than 50 years we’ve made a vaccine against a pandemic strain of influenza before the onset of winter, when lower temperatures and humidity allow the virus to spread more easily. Distributing this vaccine to those who need it most — pregnant women, health care workers, children older than six months and people with compromised immunity — will be difficult enough. But the task is made harder by the various myths, spread on TV talk shows and Web sites, suggesting that Americans have more to fear from the vaccine than from the deadly disease it prevents. Here are some of those myths, and why they’re wrong:

The Obama administration did the near impossible.....got a swine flu vaccine out in time for the flu season and people are acting like its a gov't conspiracy to kill. I am amazed at the nonsense that passes as discourse in this country. I post on a forum that deals with lung problems. All the people posting have some sort of problem with their breathing. Only two of us are getting the flu shot. This is after its been publicly reported that the swine flu is particularly dangerous to people with underlying lung problems.....the flu goes deep into the lungs. Its insane. In any case, I plan to post your article on that board. Maybe it will wake some people up.
