Do you belive that everyone will die..?
Keep in mind that vaccines are a multi-billion-industry.

Yeah they say that it is so fucking dangerous and it has killed like 60 peeps over in Asia. 60 peeps out of what? 2 billions or something? That is like NOONE over there, nobody will hardly notice and I do not think it will get as bad.
Sure IF it mutates it could get bad. But why would it?
Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

the normal flue (human flue or whatever, just the flue) causes more death |

Yeah, it does, but the normal flue does also infect alot more people. The dead-ratio is much higher with the bird-flue.
But I do think that this is hyped up alot in the media.

Yes, it is hyped, but yes there is a possibility of a danger.
I can't vote since you didn't include any reasonable options in your poll.

Like everything that originated from WoW, FTW is stupid, gay and used exclusively by those with no life.

in fact, a vaccine doesn't help against a mutant. The product that is sold atm is an anti-viral thing which only helps when you already have the virus inside, and doesn't prevent from getting the virus. But noone explains that on television, so all the people with no biological knowledge all buy + use the product, which is plain stupid, as it increases resistance and in fact highers the risk of becoming ill once the virus is here.
The people that get a vaccin are not protected because a birdflu->human flu variant is a new virus and isnt tackled by the vaccin.
So it is indeed hard to belief that the pharma industry is really concerned, they just want to make a lot of money now..

). Plus the Virus has already mutated in Asia, which means Tamiflu has no effect anymore, a new antidote has to be created.
