Yeah, Obama and his fellow Socialists in Congress will say the “swine” flu was caused by man-made global warming, which of course is caused by too many fireplaces in Park City, UT.
Mexiflu.
Well I am 'hoping' to find out what exactly this means. What exactly are atypical strains? (Meaning who what when where and why questions.) And the who sent them to the CDC? And is December 2005 when the CDC first discovered 'the' virus?
“Blame America first!”
Of course. It will give the ‘Bama something else to apologize for that he escapes blame for, but that demonstrates his contempt for America. I’ve been wondering how the ‘Bama and his minions in the MSM would turn this to their political advantage.
The moonbat told me she had it on good authority that the virus was created by an American research scientist who then sexually assulted a monkey in Africa so it would spread to black people.
I looked at her straight faced and said there are only three ways she could be certain:
“Illegals crossing into California with swine flu started the epidemic. “
Sounds like a pretty good theory to me...
Last Thurs a liberal I spoke to was blaming Rumsfeld! The idiot woman says his company that made tamiflu is behind it so they can make profits for Rumsfeld and Bush’s friends who own stock in the company.
I have read freepers who contended the same lunatic ideas. It isn’t confined to libs,,this tendancy to see everything politically and monetarily.
Forgot to mention she also was ranting that even if she got the flu wouldn’t take tamiflu because she “was not going to make Rumsfeld any richer”.
Let’s see, just about any fabricated source is plausible.
The swine flu last about 9 days, with the first 2 days not having any symptoms manifest, but the virus still being highly infectious and communicable between humans.
Now let’s say we develop a swine flu shot to give everybody to anticipate the onslaught. Then there comes a risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
I spoke with a fellow whose wife had received some flu shots back in the early 80’s and then came down with GBS. The GBS had been attributed to the flu shot and her not having ever contracted the flu. Instead, the immune system went after her nervous system. It paralyzed even her eyelids, such that she couldn’t close them. Took them a year of therapy to retrain her how to roll over, crawl, and later walk again.
IMHO, the strain now exists and we’ll see it more and more. We will be fortunate, logistically, if it simply hits in a delayed fashion and not immediately with exponential growth throughout the population.
It's certainly not a good development.
Horsecrap.
Index case in Mexico was a 4 year old boy, March 15th, from a town that had been complaining for years about the manure ponds around a joint Mexican-US swine op IN Mexico, period.
This story is AFP peddling an agenda, a US official possibly peddling an agenda, and nothing more.
