New York Times ^ | August 28, 2009 | Staff

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Doctors are reporting a severe form of swine flu that goes straight to the lungs, causing severe illness in otherwise healthy young people and requiring expensive hospital treatment, the World Health Organisation said on Friday.

No one named Fukuda was ever in The Who.
Keith Moon was, but he died.
So did John Entwistle.

Just makes me wonder...

Moon was ultimatley replaced by Zak Starkey, and Entwistle was replaced by some guy from Central America.

Coincedence? (I think not.)

Put two and two together.

Many health workers who were misled into believing they were dealing with a “mild flu” will now take the vaccination and pray that it works.

Yes they will. Saw someone did the math on the flawed 1976 flu vaccine which killed a couple dozen people. Even with that bad batch, the odds were better taking it than risking the normal 0.1% mortality. By a factor of 25.

Now I'm even more convinced it isn't anything to worry about.

I’ve become so cynical that whenever I see anything like this I believe it’s just a plug for the necessity of KennedyCare.

On the other hand, vaccine will be rationed this year. The year we have the potentially most deadly flu since 1958. That is not good for ObamaCare.

You might want to notify Wikipedia and other news media outlets as this was reported months ago.

Dr. Kuk-U-DA was identified as the person and the link I included although have been modified, identify him.

Of course I don't really believe anything the media, or government tell us about ANYTHING. This is a scan just like the financial crisis, the birth certificate, the healthcare promotion, and just about anything else these guys can think up to keep our mind off the money.

IT really is time to AUDIT THE FED, they have enough sponsors that the bill would pass but Pelosi will not allow it on the floor.

First prize for figuring out relative risk values.

All flu has a "death rate" of one degree or the other. Vaccines generally have a LOWER "death rate".

If the vaccines are distribured widely and the general population, including those who aren't vaccinated, don't get the disease, and it's all a great success, there are those who will always say "see, somebody died, you were wrong" ~ but that's only because they don't understand how math works.

I’ll pass as well.

I usually end up getting the regular flu every 2 or 3 years. The sickest I *ever* got was the year I got the ‘regular’ flu vaccine. That was the only time I ever wished for death.

“Goes straight to the lungs” probably means Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This is separate from the flu itself, and can be caused by other things as well, but it is very dangerous, with a 50% death rate, with treatment. With flu, it often happens on the fifth day of symptoms.

There *may* be a way to fend it off, with a “recipe” of common Over The Counter (OTC) medicines that you should all have a store of, if the disease starts doing this as a usual thing. You *must* take all four.

ARDS is sometimes called the “cytokine storm”. It happens when your immune system overreacts to something, and attacks whatever it is in your lungs. Your own body can and will destroy your lungs, so you die of oxygen deprivation.

ARDS is caused by 150 or so chemicals in the body. The “recipe” is designed to settle down some of the critical major parts of this process, to stop the chain reaction. Again, you *must* take all four parts.

The recipe:

Benedryl. Tagamet. Ibuprofen (Advil). And 15,000 IU of Vitamin D3.

You take the maximum doses of the first three at the first sign of symptoms, along with 15,000 IU (pills are typically 1,000 IU each), of Vitamin D every day you are sick. That is the maximum 24 hour doses of the first three, plus 15 Vitamin D pills every day you are sick.

These work to hopefully prevent developing ARDS.

For the virus itself, I strongly recommend using Cold-Eeze lozenges, that have a form of zinc in them that will be uptaken easily by your sinuses, unlike other forms of zinc, that are not well absorbed. Zinc inhibits virus reproduction.

I also recommend getting and drinking as much pure cranberry juice as you can stand. Most cranberry juice is only 26% juice, so get the pure, unsweetened kind. Cranberry juice in quantity, prevents the viruses from sticking to your cells, virus adhesion. If the virus cannot stick to them, it cannot invade them. But you have to drink a LOT of cranberry juice.

Do not take the recipe until you show symptoms, for maximum effect.

WHO?

WHO? is in the OP. WHAT? is in New Guinea:

Mystery fatal illness being investigated in Papua New Guinea

If that is a new form of H1N1...not good.
