Yes - that's one of the seasonal flu viruses, called the A/H1N1pdm09 virus, or H1N1, and could be treated like other flu viruses. I had to look this up, to remind myself about it. We could call it the Mexican flu virus strain. It's of course unlike SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) viruses.

yeah but it's vaccine was no good. So speaking of history of vaccines, we shouldn't always trust them.

If one of the flu vaccines was problematic, it was likely pulled from the shelves. People still take flu vaccines before flu season. These flu vaccines are also for the swine flu. So I am not sure which flu vaccine was problematic, but I can assure you that it was replaced with the usual flu vaccine.

it'll be great when they "pull this from the shelves" but that won't help the people who took it in the meantime that have myocarditis. And the immunity for big pharma doesn't help them either.

Yes - that's scary. I am reading about it here and here.
