LONDON -- About half of Hong Kong's health workers would refuse the swine flu vaccine, new research says, a trend that experts say would likely apply worldwide. In a study that polled 2,255 Hong Kong health workers this year, researchers found even during the height of global swine flu panic in May, less than half were willing to get vaccinated.

Good for them. However, I must say that they are mucho prepared over there. I saw some photos last year, and they have covers for elevator buttons, etc., and everyone's wearing masks, so that the possibility for spreading the flu is lessened.

(And the Chinese are SMART, gotta hand 'em that. They know what's what about that so-called vaccine.)

The Asians know what's up. The vaccine will kill you quicker than "swine flu" itself.

Asians also tend to have a higher immune systems anyway due to foods and teas rich in anti oxidants, discipline in martial arts, as well as devotion to daily meditation, creative visualization etc.,
