Do you remember the swine flu from 2009?

A couple of years ago (in the year after the swine flu craze), I was at the doctor's to get my yearly seasonal flu shot when I read the label on the vaccine vial stating that it was a seasonal flu / swine flu compound mix. Apparently the manufacturer got rid of their leftovers from the previous year by the help of a cost efficient second cycle use. I doubt that many people, who got their seasonal flu shot that year, were told what else they were injected with.

I politely declined.

It was all over the news that the 2009 flu shot would have a swine flu component, and if I recall correctly it was somewhat delayed. I got mine as soon as I could. People who caught it over the summer said it really kicked their ass, the vaccine just made me a bit achey all over for a day.

It wasn't in Germany. In fact the vaccine was highly controversial back then and not a single person within my social circles admitted to getting it.
