The title seems to be some what misleading considering the typical flu strain that occurs every year kills 36,000 Americans. Wouldn't that be defined as unstoppable?

Yes. But hey...they don’t want a “crisis” to go to waste!

I am beginning to become suspicious about the vaccine for this supposed “pandemic”. This whole scenario seems contrived.

Leaving those borders open and ignoring this whole thing
has apparently paid off.

Interesting you should make that statement. I refer you to this thread Post #3 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2285241/posts?page=3#3

Literally and figuratively.

Swine flu = Biowarfare?

“Swine flu = Biowarfare?”

My sense is that this is just another strain of flu. If it’s biowarfare, then its coming-up short (at least for now).

By any logical standard, the influenza virus that comes and goes year after year should have recieved more hype as it normally kills more people by an order of magnitude (avg 36,000 people per year for infuenza, not sure if we’ve broken 100 yet here in the US).

biowarfare test?
to determine if US would leave borders open (yes)
and if the US would do nothing (yes)
and if the US would just ignore ongoing threats (yes)

And it's working as planned for the globalist elite. Their agenda is depopulation and martial law. Watch the 1995 movie Outbreak starring Dustin Hoffman and you'll see what the movie means.

Yes, I haven’t seen a big surge in cases for it.

In Argentina, they are closing malls and other public gathering places and there have been reports of numerous deaths due to the “gripe porcina.” Is it a game being played by the Kirschner government to distract the public from its plundering? Maybe but the Argentines seem genuinely scared, and it is winter flu season there.

Then they shot themselves in the foot by reporting it as only being mild cases.

I just flew through Buenos Aires on my way to Montevideo several weeks ago. I had to fill out and sign a form documenting my medical history, have it looked at by a doctor going through transit, be scanned by a thermal device etc. Interestingly on my way back through BA (to Miami) there was the form, but nothing else, but travelers from the US were still going through the “whole nine yards”.

Sure, Kirschner is playing politics (do dogs have fleas?) But this virus seems for now to just be “flying along below the radar”, and we don’t see a lot about it in other countries on the news (surprise... there is of course, Michael Jackson).

There are several thousand cases now in Chile, for example. I would not be too cavalier about dismissing all this as some sort of nefarious plot by unknown government or other dark conspirators, as you obviously are not. Yes, seeing though all the “KandK” nonsense, the Argentines do seem to be worried.

And as you point out, it is flu season there.
People need to remember that the 1918 flu started out in the first wave as a relatively benign infection. It was the second and third waves that were he real killers.

I have also noticed that the number of cases (some now fatal) here in Florida has been slowly building. We are not yet in our flu season, of course.

I’m in Tampa and I’m very concerned what will happen here in the fall, with all the travel back and forth to Latin America. Miami should give us the first clue.
