Interesting:

We are facing a major failure of national institutions responsible for warning about risks and responding in case a pandemic occurs. In April when the first alarm came from Mexico I was very surprised at the figures furnished by the World Health Organization (WHO) to justify the declaration of a pandemic. I was immediately suspicious: the numbers were very low and the alarm level very high. There were not even in a thousand patients when there was already talk of the pandemic of the century. And the alert was decreed extreme based on the fact that the virus was new. But the characteristic of influenza disease is to develop very quickly with viruses which take on new forms each time, by dwelling in new hosts, animal, human etc.

There was nothing new in itself to that. Each year a new virus of this "flu"type appears. In reality there was no reason to sound the alarm at this level. This was only possible because in early May the WHO changed its definition of a pandemic. Before that date there had to be not only a disease which had broke out in several countries at once but also one that had very serious consequences with the number of deaths above the usual average. This aspect was removed from the new definition, to retain the rate of spread of disease as the only criteria. And they claimed that the virus was dangerous because people had not been able to develop immunity against it. Which was false for this virus. Because it was observed that people aged over 60 years already had antibodies. That is to say they had already been in contact with similar viruses. That is why also there are virtually no people aged over 60 who have developed the disease. Yet those were the people who were recommended to be vaccinated quickly.

"in order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists and official agencies responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies, and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently-tested vaccines."

The vaccine - as Johannes Löwer, president of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, has pointed out - can also cause worse side effects than the actual swine flu virus.

2 coworkers tried to convince us how important is to get vaccinated. They even paid for their shots

Agree. I have not gotten a vaccination since I was old enough to tell them no. I have only been notably sick 4-5 times in the last 10-15 years.

Never had the flu vaccination (ever) and only had the flu once in my entire life...... Kinda seems pointless getting it to me.

The "swine flu pandemic" in NZ killed less than the usual winter flu did and all had major contributing factors such as old age, extreme obesity, asthma etc etc.

Certain Phama's sure did do well out of it though........

What's funny is that quite literally the "SWINE FLU" strains have been targeted for decades as potential outliers in creating a pandemic, long before huge ass drug companies ever even existed.


But of course ignoramus johnny come latelys can't be expected to actually look into that now can they?

My girlfriend works for the CDC and did quite a lot of the information resources on this whole dealio. I remember the first day she worked on it, a big pfat pfizer check showed up. So weird!



edit: heh....look, I just pushed blame away from a drug company. So you know I mean it.

Can't fault that logic...
