There's been news/press release coverage of attempts to use 'protein markers' from the swine flu to help the body build up potential immunities, stating that there has been some success with this. However my recollection is that this is related to the Swine Flu, which seems to be 1/4 less deadly (at least according to US statistics) than the 'normal' flu. So if you want to get a vaccine for something that's got less of a chance to kill you than the normal flu braincell, be my guest. I've no idea why you're throwing in issues with Vitamin C & D (of which there also happen to be a myriad of forms, some which are far more easily utlilized by your body than others btw.)
Your thread here Francis is about something else entirely (Hemorrhagic flu/pneumonia), which I actually wasn't aware of until you posted it but since it's come up I've had online conversations with some friends in Eastern Europe where this actually seems to be on people's radar. There isn't a lot of news coverage of it and the people who talked about it seemed to think that having untrustworthy news about health concerns (and financial reports etc) was par for the course where they lived anyway, so it's hard to know what the 'truth' of the matter is. I dug around a bit online during the movie (among other things I was doing) and posted up what little info I could find.
