More recent research highlights potentially better prevention of the spread
of flu by immunizing the youngest children.

This is a mobile group, the day care group, the one that contacts numerous
others of similar infection risk and spread of infection risk.

They are also the grandchildren of the at risk elderly.

Some studies indicate that this is an important group to immunize to impact
overall morbidity and mortality.

Also flu vaccine is always a poker game. You get 2 or 3 hands to play, but
Old Man Flu is the dealer and plays many more hands.

The result is not always predictable.

I do not doubt that there could be some manipulations or interpretations of
the data in favor of immunization, not an uncommon situation given the way
we train, fund research, easily manipulate the media, provide too little
independent research, fail to support public health well, and fund almost
no objective evaluation.

Expand horizons beyond the current focus to get closer to the truth.
