There sure is something weird about this virus.

Notice, too, that when the virus wasn’t killing people, everyone was in a tailspin about it.

Now, people are dropping like flies and by the amount of coverage it’s getting, you’d never know there was a virus that deadly and unpredictable going around.

What’s up with the MSM I wonder.

They just suck at covering any serious issue. If it can't be sensationalized in kindergarten fashion, like initially, they are lost.

They're too busy being in love of B. Zerobama to notice anything so mundane as H1N1 killing people.

One possible reason was that everyone over-reacted the first time, and then there was backlash and everyone said it was nothing. The press doesn't want to risk looking foolish.

Another possible reason was that Obama ordered the press to play it up big as a way to get the Senate to quickly confirm abortion extremist Kathleen Sebelius, who had lied about how much Killer Tiller paid her, so she could deal with the "crisis." That caused the Republicans to cave and drop any attempt at a filibuster.

Now, people are dropping like flies

Did I miss something? I've only heard about maybe 3 or 4 deaths in the US, and in each, there was an underlying medical condition. Even this article says,

The exact cause of her death has not yet been determined, but the virus is known to have been a contributing factor, Dr. Arlene King, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, told a news conference Monday.

If people are indeed dropping like flies, there seems to be a total coverup. And MA at least is still trying to keep up the drumbeat -- another school closure for a week because of absenteeism, e.g.

You were saying — Now, people are dropping like flies and by the amount of coverage it’s getting, you’d never know there was a virus that deadly and unpredictable going around.

This was a while back that you said this, but I was doing some reading up on the H1N1 virus, and came across this thread. Your phrase “dropping like flies” is the exact same phrase that my grandmother used when describing the 1918 flu to me when I was a kid.

She said that they were dropping like flies in the street. I thought she was using colorful language at the time, and I perceived that phrase as an exaggeration, but I now find out that they were, indeed, dropping like flies in the street, where people would have no symptoms at the beginning of the day and when going home after work, there would be people “dropping like flies” right in the street and dead, on the spot.

There were body carts sent around to pick up dead people (in the street) apparently. My grandmother said that all her neighbors had dead kids but our family didn’t have anyone who died. So, we were fortunate.

I hope I’ve got some natural resistance in the “genes”... :-)

As a mother and a grandmother, I have been heartsick ever since I learned the information I have posted on my FR thread.

The information is very alarming, very frightening, and unnerving.

Please help me to get the word out to as many people as possible. Please PING your groups to my FR Thread.

I have been trying to get the word out since June 25. Thank you so much in advance!Summary of the Criminal Charges Against Baxter Pharmaceutical (Bioterrorism and Mass Murder for H1N1 Vaccination)
