Swine flu hits hard, early — claims 11 more kids (More detailed than most articles)
Associated Press ^ | Oct 16, 2009 | LAURAN NEERGAARD

Swine flu is causing unprecedented illness for so early in the fall — including a worrisome count of child deaths — and the government warned Friday that vaccine supplies will be even more scarce than expected through this month.

Good luck. Still doesn’t sound as bad as the four bouts of mastitis I had between Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. Can’t believe I’m thinking about having another one! The good news is that you will be immune for the rest of your life.

Most of his info critisizes the CDC. Again, if you have better info, please post a link. You suggest that you know everything about it.

He has been successfully treating people for 30 years using homeopathy. I will admit that I was a skeptic at first. My husband suggested it when doctors could not cure my systemic fungal infection. In fact, they originally diagnosed my with post partem depression. Once the docs diagnosed the infection the meds they prescribed not only didn’t work, but severely damaged my liver. Dr. Winer was a last resort. Not only did his treatment suggestions get rid of the infection, but my liver function was fully restored. I have the before and after medical doctor test results to prove it.

Makes ya wonder why back a few months ago, and with all those BILLIONS spent and declarations of ‘we are prepared’..........what happened to the vaccines?

Oh wait, I forgot the ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ and let em suffer a little longer, bit....

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is a woman, not a man.

3 strikes and you’re out.

Wonder how many are children of illegal aliens, how many have traveled back and forth to Mexico, how many of their relatives have traveled or recently come from South of the Border, for many people in our area are found with such connections. Not in any way at all to pork, ham or "bad acting" but very much to people who do not live with the hygiene that many citizens employ.

One other point that rarely is pointed out -- how many were already sick and/or malnourished already or had other serious health conditions that, combined with H1N1 or any other form of influenza.

That’s a picky police point...

True, but I added that because I had to reread a couple of sentences to be sure I knew what was meant.

These figures appear ominous (and perhaps are) but how do they appear in perspective? That is, how many normal Flu deaths have occurred during the same period?

this sounds like a pitch to get people to stampede the doorways to get the vaccination when they know many people are leery of it and avoiding it.

There isn't nearly enough to provide it to everyone who wants it.

“Most of his info critisizes the CDC.”

You can’t read what you wrote yourself, nor spell.

I never claimed that everything the CDC claims is bogus. I question what is going on now because it is a government organization. It is associated with the obama admin. I can’t help but question anything that comes from this administration.

Also, your sentence should read: You can neither read nor spell. Just a tip. Have a wonderful night!

Don’t pay attention to the naysayers. What you posted is a very accurate layman’s description of what is happening to H1N1 victims.

” The more cells that are infected, the more
difficult it is for the immune system to eliminate the virus and the more
damage the immune system causes by inflammation during the process. Also,
H1N1 may cause even more cytokines to be produced which also make the
inflammation much more severe. This is called a cytokine storm. Young
adults, as they have a very strong immune system, have a very potent
inflammatory response, seemingly more active than in young children or older
adults. Although it seems illogical, their overactive inflammatory response
may put these individuals at higher risk to serious disease due to the damage
it causes in trying to eliminate the virus infection.

It seems that you’re the one who doesn’t understand how the immune system works:

difficult it is for the immune system to eliminate the virus and the more
damage the immune system causes by inflammation during the process. Also,
H1N1 may cause even more cytokines to be produced which also make the

I keep asking the naysayers to prove it, but they are acting like the MSM. The claim I’m lying, then they have no proof. Thanks for the props, though!

I’m with you. There is no way that I will allow my family to be exposed to this toxic shot.

Funny story, I took my dad to the VA hospital today for some tests and they were pushing every Vet to get the shot. Every one emphatically stated that they wanted nothing to with it. I saw some old grizzled WWII vet state there was no way in hell he was getting another flu shot as the last one he got gave him complications for the next 6 months.
