I agree and I am not one of those all that concerned but I can *easily* envision scenarios where an angry and feeling "left out in the cold" citizen goes over the edge.

And ironically if there was a shortage of vaccine... and an outbreak of swine flu, the most effective way to avoid the disease would be to "stay in your homes" which would make rioting rather difficult.

I don't think a person that believed strongly they should get the vaccine and was or is being denied it would stay home if told.

I agree. I am a healthy adult with good hygiene but it is not me that I am asking about.

But there's no evidence any vaccine is safe until it's implemented. This vaccine is made the same way all the others are made..
Thiomersal or Thimerosal is technically toxic but at the levels ingested is harmless. The recall / stop use of it was due to public pressure and not any real harm.

I'm slightly concerned about Herd Immunity, myself. Doesn't matter how healthy you are, or if you've gotten the flu shot. If noone else has, you can still catch it (and die).

No that is not true, all vaccines and any medicine, always undergoes trial testing before it is put on the market, the only exception is when something is classified like an emergency (such as the h1n1 being elevated to a classification of "pandemic" based on the possibility of a pandemic not an actual pandemic) If it is consedered emergency companies can bypass the intial testing. No the vaccine is not similar to other vaccines, this vaccine has a completely different strain of virus and no one know how it will react with humans of all types, testing usually happens on specific groups, such as age groups, pregnent women, sick, healthy, and then a recomnendation is made for which groups it is most safe for. This vaccine was not tested, as for the safety of small doses of Mercury, the dose of mercury in one vacccine is not going to kill you but if the same people are getting flu shots every year along with eating fish and all of the other ways we get mercury in our system then yes we are going to get mercury poisoning eventually, mercury poisoning is a cumulative effect, we store it in our bodies our entire life unless undergo very intensive and very specific kinds of chelation therapy. And yes it does matter how healthy you are, people who's immune systems are functioning on a high level do not get sick, your immune system needs to be compromised in some way for you to not be able to fight off a flu or cold. You don't just get sick because you were around someone who was sick. Also no one has died from swine flu yet who didn't already have other underlying health problems, this is a fact, every single person who died from h1n1 was shown to have other diseases first.

The yearly flu shot is a different strain every time.
The shots are tested, there is just some testing that is foregone. I can also find no evidence the shots were rushed to the point of a lack of safety, just people really believing it.
I can find no study that says the mercury in vaccinations plus the mercury in fish equals problems for humanity. More speculation.

I find many studies that talk about Herd Immunity: If you are healthy, and have had the H1N1 vaccination, and you are living in a community that has not had a vaccine, you are more likely to get it than if you have not had the shot and living in a community that has had the vaccine.
The immunity of the herd (everyone) is dependent on the individual (you).
