Be consistent, at least.<br /><br />Mike, you should write this up in a concise communication or letter to the editor for ICHE. It would be worth hearing the response of the authors to your analysis.<br /><br />DanDan Diekemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231929371552334184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066238290370557389.post-32642002113441379242010-09-14T11:33:46.557-05:002010-09-14T11:33:46.557-05:00Mike.

Getting people to stay home with subclinical infection is impossible.<br /><br />Also, what are the downsides of vaccination again? Apart from 1976, I thought the data suggested GBS was far higher in influenza infection than flu vaccine.Eli Perencevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131155100606411030noreply@blogger.com
