Mexican History: The 1985 Earthquake and The 2009 Swine Flu Epidemic

There were many situations that brought about a change in the government during the entire course of the history of Mexico. However, there are no signs that the Mexican government is as mature as the 1985 earthquake or the 2009 swine flu epidemic. Although only 24 years apart, these events show how the government is dealing with the fundamental change in the crisis. There are major differences in ways to deal with various situations, but these differences are only indicative of the improvement of the Mexican government and we hope that the people of Mexico will make better development.

H1N1 influenza ("H1N1 influenza") is an epidemic prevalent recently in the world. Swine influenza began to spread in Mexico in April 2009, and by June, the World Health Organization raised the alert level to the global epidemic. The virus spreads rapidly all over the world. Fortunately, governments around the world provide immunization vaccines against epidemics. In Lawrence Gostin's "Swine Flu Vaccine: Fairness" (2009), he explained his question about swine influenza vaccination and a wealthier country has greater advantages over poor countries in receiving immunization I emphasized.

Americans were not a big fan of influenza vaccine. During the global epidemic of the 2009 H1N1 influenza, only about 40% of adults were reluctant to extend their sleeves. 1 Last year the adult influenza vaccination rate was only 47%, but pediatricians already vaccinated 75% of children under 2 years old. 2 Well, at some point this may be true, but now the Disease Control Center admits that influenza vaccines do not prevent influenza in most cases. In fact, the history of the seasonal influenza vaccine also shows that people are more prone to fever, headaches, body pain, and terrible coughs that last for several weeks. 6 But like pertussis infection, many people spread and spread with influenza infection without any symptoms. 7 8 9
