The US Swine Flu Epidemic That Wasn’t - Why Did the CDC Hide the True Case Numbers?
Sharyl Attkisson Substack ^ | JUL 01, 2024 | SHARYL ATTKISSON

In July of 2009, amid the national swine flu panic stoked by the CDC, I got two tips from insiders: the CDC had instructed hospitals and states to stop testing for swine flu! Doctors were to presume that any patients who came in with flu-like symptoms had swine flu, or H1N1, and treat them as such without testing them to confirm it.

How strange! both of my sources told me, separately. I had to agree. Why would the CDC not want to collect the best data possible during an outbreak that the agency implied could bring America to its knees? The CDC had already green lighted emergency development and approval of what could be a very lucrative swine flu vaccine.

The CDC’s official rationale for stopping tests was that swine flu had supposedly become so widespread, it was reasonable to save money on tests and just assume everyone who caught something that looked like any sort of flu had the H1N1 variety.

My sources were suspicious.

I remember the words of one of them—a government scientist. He told me, “CDC is either trying to inflate the number of swine flu cases or downplay the number. Your job is to figure out which it is.”

I was stunned by what I discovered. And a CBS News manager short-circuited the resulting story to keep it off of the Evening News.

My take from this:

The CDC has been badly compromised in favor of making money for Big Pharma over public health for at least 15 years.

I already thought this because of how Covid was handled. I now know it goes back at least a decade and a half.

How much further back does it go?

The government is still pushing the lipid hypothesis fraud, fluoridation and other matters (autism, for one of many) to hide its misdeeds and keep hidden its agenda.

To answer your question, nearly a century, collectively.

2009 was not an election year. 2008 was.

Has anyone discussed the 1975/76 Swine Flu scare? We were vaccinated as school children and a teacher of mine; his bother was Army and got injected with an experimental vaccine.
It caused Guillen-Barre and left him in a wheelchair.

That was another factor in Carter beating Ford that year.

bitchute is slow, it loaded for me, but after 5-10 seconds.

Yes, they don’t hide anything. However, they don’t advertise it either.

The video is the chart, with voices “Nobody’s gonna know” “How would they know?”

There’s a 60 minutes episode on Youtube out there from that exact time. The interview a woman who got the same affliction from the swine flu vaccine.

What would you do if they threw a Swine Flu epidemic and no one gave a crap.

***In July of 2009, amid the national swine flu panic stoked by the CDC***

I remember the Swine Flu panic of 1976. They told everyone to get the flu shot or you were going to die!
It was a bust. More people died of heart attacks standing in line for the shot than who even caught the flu.

When one man DID come down with the flu he was swamped by reporters! Don;t remember anyone dying of it at all.

All part of the plan. Make the CDC into the most unbelievable agency so when the true biggie comes along no one will realize it until the human race is extinct.

I remember our 3-year-old granddaughter lying in a hospital bed back then. We loved her up, hugging and kissing her, reassuring her.

Then the doc walked in wearing a mask.
