kids in 3rd world countries die of horrendous diseases, many of which you probably never heard of, due to poor nutrition, contaminated water and food, and lack of medical care. And the death rate from this strain of H1N1 is very high in 3rd world countries, probably because of poor nutrition and lack of antivirals.

Getting too many vaccines does not weaken your immune system because it "doesn't get the opportunity to fight the disease itself." Vaccinations stimulate the immune system to learn and respond to the pathogen antigens. The problem with too many vaccines is that your immune system can become overstimulated and lead to problems that way.

I'm unaware of a vaccine for ear infections. Please do share that one.

Taking antibiotics inappropriately strengthens bacteria, which develop resistance factors to specific antibiotics (and share those resistance factors with other bacteria).
