Really.
We are are we?
Please, tip us all off which particular scientists have solved this old chestnut so that I might invest heavily in their stock. Meanwhile the trivalent flu vaccine is recalled because, oh that's right it was doing more harm than good.
so do we stop it after a few years I think not

If it's killing more people then it is saving, yes of course we will stop using it. That's what we just did with both trivalent and h1n1. It's what we do with all medicines.

An interesting read, indeed, but a bit of comprehension would indicate that that article says nothing about "eliminating" the flu, only a better method of control.
I think that there may be a real possibility of eradicating polio from the planet if we can keep vaccination rates high, and extend them to areas where it is still endemic. There is no way that would be the case with the flu however, in the foreseeable future. The flu adapts/evolves too readily, and has the potential to jump across species.
