Its sad Carl Sagan said this 20/30/40 years ago about mistrust of science, yet here we are with massive mistrust by people who do not understand virology or disease like those experts we rely on for solid information.

Yes, there has been some fear over this, but its always in the best interest of the public, the people researching these influenza's are deeply aware of the spanish flu and what it can become.

Not to mention they do not want people who are healthy to die because they think a flu shot is some government conspiracy, paranoia, fear from media, etc..

People with no right to be talking about what is right or wrong fuel their new found 'expertise' with an article here and there, also finding websites from people who are as uninformed as they are.

This is a deadly cocktail, from global warming, evolution, to warning of imminent threats a lot of the population of this world is not only distrustful but outright hostile to science.

This has to stop.
