The swine flu has been greatly exaggerated

Recently, the halls of Skyline High School have been filled with hand sanitizers, “Stay Healthy” flyers and the fear of the completely overrated disease of the swine flu...

To see how the socialist Public Health Movement fans the flames of hysteria from behind the scenes, see the following:
Since 1949, the Epidemic Intelligence Service has infiltrated hospitals, health departments, and newspaper offices around the world. See how this elite, semi-secret wing of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fans the flames of panic from behind the scenes on everything from AIDS to SwineFlu...

Dr. Duesberg on the last false alarm, Bird Flu:
“The reason why the Flu was so successful in 1918 was primarily the “terrain”, namely the millions of immuno-deficient hosts and hostesses starved and stressed by 4 years of war.
Secondarily, one can speculate that the 1918 flu strain may also have been a “new” recombinant to the 1918 population and thus more successful than a more established seasonal strain may have been. As I found in 1968, flu, unlike practically all other animal viruses, has multiple RNA segments, equivalent to multiple chromosomes and thus can readily form new recombinants - the reason why we have seasonal flus, but have measles, mumps, polio, pox etc. only once in a lifetime.
Thirdly, the odds that the Centers for Disease Control alias World Health Organization ever predicts an epidemic prior to its arrival are not good: They have predicted in past several years numerous epidemics or “pandemics” such as the flu, the hanta-virus, anthrax, the rotavirus, the Ebola virus, the West Nile virus, “mad cow” epidemic, the Sars-virus epidemic, an epi-pandemic of “random, eg. heterosexual non-drug user-AIDS” - but none of these ever materialized (see, Inventing the AIDS Virus, Regnery publishing, Washington DC, 1996). The last one that came close to an epidemic was polio in the 1950s and that was not predicted by American public health scientists.
Fourth, the currently hyped prospective Flu pandemic has long missed its chances. It has been hyped almost daily in the San Francisco Chronicle since November. But all that happened was a dead chicken in Nigeria, a hamster in Germany, two sick (dead?) kids in Turkey, a euthanized swan in Sweden, several dead or euthanized chicken in Iraq (Yes Iraq!!) etc. That is not the pattern of a potential killer microbe. All “new” killer viral or microbial epidemics of the past have spread exponentially within weeks to months and then declined exponentially owing to the induction of immunity or death of susceptible hosts - take Albert Camus’ “Plague” as a classical example.
The current Flu propaganda is thus a mix of ignorance and and self-interest and an exploitation of general ignorance by the CDC, WHO, the vaccine, pill and test-kit manufacturers of our universities and pharma companies, and of our “science” journalists, who need to fill their daily columns - and must sell their aging vaccine stocks before they decompose and their Tamiflu pills before the summer. But despite hyping in dozens of microbial Godots - no Godot has come since polio. People are just too well nourished these days, and thus have optimally maintained immune systems, for microbes to attack more than just the fringes of the ever growing human herd. That in fact is their historical share. The 150 million+ Flu pandemics are hype for fund raising by the ever more costly science/health armies in search for real enemies. Their success is based on the invisible monsters of the microbial epidemics of the (earlier) times, when nutrition lacked vitamins, proteins and sanitation or was lacking all together - and on the never failing microbial and viral horror phantasies of our science writers, politicians and Hollywood producers.”
Just like the Global Warming hoax, the swine pandemic will be exaggerated as long as it can be exploited. In the Global warming case, it morphed to Globull Climate change for additional exploitation - liberals should take note. Perhaps they can find a similar way to morph the swine pandemic - call it something slightly different, and continue with the exaggeration/exploitation.
Exactly, it’s the “Reichstag Flu.”
The 141 cases quoted in the article was vastly understated at the time it was published. The CDC confirmed count is up to 896 cases, but they’ve quit counting anything but hospitalizations. NYC and a college in Delaware quit counting several days ago.
I still believe the CDC confirmed count is severely understated. It takes the CDC at least 4-5 days to confirm and report even when state labs can confirm almost immediately. They only show 2 confirmed cases in Tennessee. But 3 were confirmed by state labs as of April 29th. Another 8-9 cases were being researched three days ago.
The Mexican death count confirmed by the WHO is up to 42. Mexico says that samples cannot be obtained from over 70 other patients who have died. And an estimated 70-80 patients who died with flu like symptoms who were thought to be swine flu victims came back negative for the swine flu, raising questions about about the test and whether there is a second flu virus causing deaths in Mexico.
The WHO is count is over 2000 cases, but they are still only showing 1112 cases in Mexico.
A second U.S. death occurred when an 33 year old pregnant woman died with the virus.
