[QUOTE]Originally posted by Miss Monica: [QB] According to the British Medical Journal, the leading cause of death related to influenza is secondary pneumonia. http://thinktwice.com/BMJ_Flu.pdf "…according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 'influenza and pneumonia' took 62,034 lives in 2001 — 61,777 of which were attributed to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was flu virus positively identified." A pneumonia vaccination prevents the most common 23 serotypes of infection. http://www.medicinenet.com/pneumococcal_vaccination/article.htm I’ve read that Streptococcus pneumoniae septicaemia is common in people with system lupus erythematosus. & those with SLE are urged to receive the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. I think knowing the answer to "why?" is life's booby prize. & yet I too still wanted to know. & kept coming to the bulletin board to find out. And now I probably know "why" and there's still nothing I can do about it. Q.E.D. (The brain is a problem creating machine. It thinks it can go back in time to solve the problems it is devising in the present.) Erin was so smart, vibrant, and vivid, she seemed to me to be invincible. I had nothing but respect for her (and the occasional rosy-warm feeling from her having smacked me a good one). And even though I hadn't talked to her in 10 years... Taking this hard. [/QB][/QUOTE]
