FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda TUESDAY, Jan. 24 (HealthDay News) — Only about one in five
American adults aged 36 to 39 got a flu shot during the H1N1 swine flu
epidemic of 2009-2010, even though about 65 percent were at least
moderately concerned about the disease and nearly 60 percent claimed to
follow the issue moderately or very closely.
That’s the finding of a University of Michigan report detailing how
this age group monitored the epidemic and what they did to protect
themselves and their families.
The analysis of data collected from almost 3,000 young adults during
the outbreak also showed that those with young children at home were most
concerned and most likely to follow the news about the epidemic.
Overall, young adults were most likely to get information about the
epidemic from friends, co-workers and family members. But their
most-trusted sources of information were doctors, followed by the U.S.
National Institutes of Health, pharmacists at local drug stores, and
nurses from county health departments.
YouTube videos, drug company commercials and Wikipedia articles were
the least-trusted sources.
The findings appear in “The Generation X Report.” Generation X refers
to people born between the early 1960s and the early 1980s.
“These results suggest that young adults in Generation X did reasonably
well in their first encounter with a major epidemic,” report author Jon D.
Miller said in a university news release. “Those with minor children at
home were at the greatest risk, and they responded accordingly, with
higher levels of awareness and concern.”
Analyzing how members of Generation X reacted to the swine flu epidemic
may help public health officials deal more effectively with future
epidemics, according to Miller, director of the Longitudinal Study of
American Youth at the U-M Institute for Social Research.
“In the decades ahead, the young adults in Generation X will encounter
numerous other crises — some biomedical, some environmental and others
yet to be imagined,” Miller said. “They will have to acquire, organize and
make sense of emerging scientific and technical information, and the
experience of coping with the swine flu epidemic suggests how they will
meet that challenge.”
