Yes. Vitamin C can drive Swine Flu away, but you need lots of it. According to the late Dr. Robert Cathcart, you need 60-100 grams per day, taken in 8-15 doses. Dr. Cathcart had a list of illnesses and their required dosages of vitamin C. Here is an abbreviated version, comparing some respiratory viral infections: GRAMS ASCORBIC ACID NUMBER OF DOSES CONDITION PER 24 HOURS PER 24 HOURS mild cold 30 - 60 6 - 10 severe cold 60 - 100+ 8 - 15 influenza 100 - 150 8 - 20 viral pneumonia 100 - 200+ 12 - 25

Swine flu is mild, comparable to a severe cold. Hence it dosage is between 60 and 100 grams per day. For details, you can read his article available on his web site www.orthomed.com: Vitamin C, Titrating to Bowel Tolerance, Anascorbemia, and Acute Induced Scurvy Robert F. Cathcart, III, Medical Hypotheses, 7:1359-1376, (1981).

Vitamin C is known for "boosting" the immune system and studies have been made that suggest it is effective against HIV (in large doses). However no such studies have been done with the Swine Flu, to my knowledge. What can be done by most people, bracing for a possible outbreak; 1) Clean your hands more often than usual, keep unwashed hands away from your face, eyes, and mouth. 2) Increase nutrition and vitamin intake, eat healthier.
