Normally only a few dozen at most world wide die from the vaccine, which is typically made from either a weakened form of the viruses expected, or a "dead" one.
So because of the alarmingly high death toll, the European Union (which usually gets the Flu vaccines first) has banned the Flu vaccine for this year. The US has likewise followed suit.
I am beginning to doubt the story because I'm not really finding much yet about this story, which is something that would sound like it would make international headlines. I hear it was a story on Yahoo...
I've already got the flu vaccine...

Re: Pit Stop News Desk
Then my information must be wrong then because I was told it wasn't yet available in the US yet.
Also there's a fox out and about in my neighborhood it seems.

Re: Pit Stop News Desk
Rumors are starting to spread in the automotive industry that Germany has caught Volkswagen cheating on their gasoline engines as well. I first heard of this myself on Monday, but I haven't yet found a reference in an article about this.
To me, I question why cheat on gasoline emissions, by this point in time gasoline emissions systems are much simpler, less failure prone, less catastrophic when they do fail. Not only that fuel economy has gone up considerably over the past decade in gasoline engines. It's proven technology that doesn't really hurt a gasoline engine, so why cheat it?
*shakes head*

Paris, France is under siege from terrorists. I've seen like 60 killed, and 100 taken hostage but I don't trust those numbers. I would however believe the reports of shooters and grenades.

I've heard counts of 15 killed and 60 being held hostage. According to BBC News, there have been three explosions and up to six gunmen reported.

Re: Pit Stop News Desk
There were apparently seven different attack sites across Paris. (6:51 PM ET)
Also, I don't know of the credibility of their source, but I've seen on social media that up to 12 hostages have been rescued and 2 terrorists shot down.

Paris' Deputy Mayor has reported at least 118 dead at the concert hall, center of the hostage situation.

Re: Pit Stop News Desk
...118 at the concert hall... so I'm guessing we're going to be seeing a final toll of at least 130. This is horrible and I hope those responsible rot in hell.
EDIT: CNN is now reporting at least 149

The spire of One World Trade Center has been lit up in the colors of the French flag out of respect.

Re: Pit Stop News Desk
I'm finding this more tragic than that plane bombing about a year ago (which I think was the last confirmed, notable terrorist attack). I guess it's because I read about plane crashes all the time so seeing three digit numbers and wreckage on TV usually means so little to me, but I'm having no difficulty in imaging the horror the French people just went through.
