This is an article with more fear mongering. Since when has the H1N1 become comparable to the 1918 flu epidemic?

Get real! This H1N1 doesn't even measure up to the regular seasonal flu that kills 35,000 Americans each year. The projected death-rate is 18,000 only. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the flues reported are plain old regular flues.

This is an article with more fear mongering. Since when has the H1N1 become comparable to the 1918 flu epidemic?

Get real! The H1N1 doesn't even measure up to the regular seasonal flu that kills 35,000 in the US each year. The projected death-rate is 18,000 only. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the flues reported are plain old regular flues. But to boost it's death-rate the mass-vaccination will just do that. The vaccination is deadlier than the disease.

But if you are eager to inject your children with vaccines that offer no reliability for effectiveness not a recourse for its potential damages, then go right ahead! There will be plenty of the poison to go around. Government has ordered 250 million doses for over $2 billion.

However, be aware that the safety testing was short circuited and that Governments (US and EU) have provided pharmaceutical companies with blanket immunity from lawsuits arriving out of the vaccine causing deaths and injuries. I wonder why?

Which measures are being taken to ensure the safe use?

Government tells us the pharmaceutical companies will collect information on the safety of the vaccine while it is being used. This will include information on its side effects and its safety in children, pregnant women, patients with severe conditions and people who have problems with their immune systems.

The government also informs us:

“Expect an avalanche of so-called adverse event reports, which are reports of death, illness or other health trauma that occur within two weeks after receiving treatment — in this case, the swine flu vaccine,” in reaction to an estimated “one million heart attacks, 700,000 strokes and 900,000 miscarriages.”

Sound very encouraging indeed!

Here in Texas, they're only testing fatalities and possible emergency rooms visits. In my kids class, last week, 13 out of 20 kids were out sick with flu like symptoms. The doctor said they were told not to test for h1n1. Whats the point, after all, the test costs $300 and takes 3 days, and they all come back positive. There a lot more out there than the statistics indicate.

Or maybe it's Vitamin D after the summer time, get 2,000 IU/day. Past pandemic of 1918 saw a 1st wave and even bigger 2nd wave. In 1918, past immunity wasn't a factor.
