“H1N1 swine flu killed an estimated 3,900 Americans from April to October”
Hogwash. Folks die from other things, and it is being called H1N1 to make the numbers go up.
As an aside, how many Muslims have died from hog flu…I mean H1N1 swine flu?
I bet none.
Reminds me of an article I read some years ago about some place in Africa (it may have been Nairobi, Kenya) where the medical examiner's office routinely listed "HIV" or "AIDS" as the cause of death for auto accident victims -- because inflating the AIDS death toll brought more money from the United Nations, World Health Organization, etc.
