But you don't see the news broadcasts telling people to supplement with vitamin D to fight flu now do you? No, no, they give you the impression that the flu vaccine is the only way to avoid sickness because big pharma cannot patent vitamin D (or other natural remedies), which is readily available and quite cheap and could (gasp) compete with vaccines.

I highly agree. Pharmaceutical companies in the States make a fortune from flu vaccines. Heck, they even come to our office every year and charge $25.00 for a vaccine for anyone who wants one. You can get flu vaccines everywhere here, including the grocery store, for about $20-$25 a shot.
