Why did European diseases that were brought to America kill more Native Americans than Europeans?
Herd Immunity. Europeans were around people who have had European diseases (in various stages of recovery). When you get small doses of a disease, your body can start working on getting rid of it, perhaps without you getting the full symptoms. If you have never been around a disease your body has to start from "scratch" and learn it.

After the infection, you get naturally acquired active immunity to the chickenpox. You have a very low chance of getting chickenpox again because your immune system has made antibodies to fight off.
How are they different between active immunity and passive immunity different?
Passive immunity involves the bodies defenses which do not change for different types of microbes. This would be like Natural Killer B cells which attack a wide variety of microbes. Active immunity involves your body becoming acclimated toward a bacteria or virus, such that future contact will spur on a triggered response. An example of this would be the production of antibodies.

If you have Crohns disease should you get a vaccination for swine flu?
Yes, it is recommended that you should as soon as it is made available to your risk group. You should get the flu shot that has inactivated virus particles instead of the nasal vaccine that contains live attenuated virus in it, however. People with Crohn's disease are more susceptible to the virus due to their immunocompromised state and medications they may be taking for the Crohn's. Being vaccinated is especially important for you. But, because of the disease and medications, there may also be a diminished immune response to the vaccine which could leave you without full immunity even after getting the vaccination. For that reason, you should continue to practice all recommended precautions (such as handwashing, avoiding exposure, etc.) even after receiving a vaccination.
