We didn't test you, and even though we listed you as having swine flu, you probably had something else... so even though our figures are porkies, you'd best let us anti-porkie you as well.

Isn't that called a double-banger?

New York City has seen very little swine flu activity this fall, after being perhaps the worst-hit city in the nation when the virus appeared last spring, Dr. Farley said. Immunologists attribute the absence of flu activity to immunity (http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/specialtopic/immune-response/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier) built up in a large portion of the city’s population.

But Dr. Farley said that even New Yorkers who thought they had been infected with swine flu in the spring should get the vaccine, because absent testing, they may have actually had some other type of respiratory illness, and because “the vaccine does no harm.”


Oh yeah!!! “the vaccine does no harm.” :giggle:
