H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 51, in Today's News 10.07.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. Canada decided to postpone or limit seasonal-flu vaccination programs because an authoritative study has shown that it is easier to contract swine flu if one has annual seasonal flu shots!!

Here's a great quote (from today's Wall Street Journal page A6) from Perry Kendall, provincial health officer for British Colombia, "Concurrent inoculations for seasonal flu and H!N1--as are being given in the U.S. and other countries--would be a logistical nightmare, and it is unclear what will happen if both vaccines are administered at the same time. We don't know if you can give H1N1 in one arm and another in the other arm. Does one vaccine trump the other?"

And so the swine-flu-scare campaign directors screw up again. The failed to foresee such elementary questions as Kendall's. The authorities really have no idea what the swine flu bug is all about. And they know even less about the vaccine and its effects.

All that is important to them is to stampede the public into receiving their vaccine.

********

Perhaps in partial answer to the above, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appealed anew today for widespread inoculation against a surging swine flu threat, calling the vaccine is unconditionally "safe and secure."

One wonders if she is worried about eating those words someday in the future.

The public is not buying all the hype about swine flu and the vaccine. The resistance is so great that it has forced Sebelius into making very risky statements.

New information such as the Canadian action only adds to the doubts of Americans about swine flu.

******

The publicity barrage has begun by the swine-flu campaign directors. Articles on this and that aspect of the flu are beginning to appear daily. Television infomercials are due to appear any day.

Hang on to your hats. The authorities are desperate to save their campaign, and they may say anything to convince the public to get shots.

H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 41, in Today's News 09.08.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. The crazy season has begun where the media and various governments are predicting imminent disaster at the first sign of sniffles.

Case in point: France. Mainland France has had all of three swine flu deaths (out of approximately 62 million people; an infinitesimal percentage). The Associated Press reports that because of swine flu, the French custom of "le bise", the cheek-to-cheek peck used to say hello and good-bye is being reconsidered.

Whether this is an actual fact or whether it is an Associated Press wish, we shall probably not learn. But the point is that no matter how inconsequential the event, the powers-that-be are ready to recommend drastic measures.

*****

The directors of the swine-flu-scare campaign have issued instructions to various segments of society. But they managed to neglect telling day care centers how to behave.

Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, corrected this oversight on Friday, September 4. Her remarks were the usual drivel, but she did say one interesting thing: the Tribune newspapers report that she said "Most children who catch swine flu do not need medical care unless they have underlying medical conditions."

And so, one has to point out that the effects of swine flu are no different than everyday flu. And thus, the question arises, if the effects are the same why are the government and related organizations mounting a totally unprecedented campaign to scare people about swine flu?

H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 36, in Today's News 08.26.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. Yesterday the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology projected that one-half of the American public could be infected by swine flu. They stated that this number was not a prediction, only a projection.

Today, newspaper articles appeared that stated the one-half projection as fact, or as close to fact as one can be. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appeared on NBC's Today show as well throwing around as many frightening numbers as possible.

This is how the cryptocracy works. They have a 'scientific' study announce some wild figures as a projection. Then the media and various spokespeople ignore the nuance and describe the situation in as terrifying terms as they can get away with.

All this for a virus that is not serious at all.

Sebelius' main purpose on the Today show was to defuse any school closings for flu reasons. Earlier the flu-scare-campaign directors had beat the drums for closing schools at the first sign of sniffles. Then someone told them that they were setting up a social catastrophe by having kids home and parents home to look after them. The country would have come to a halt for most of the fall and/or winter.

So now the directors are having to re-cover ground to make sure no one follows their original instructions. Being in this situation is yet another stupidity by the directors of the scare campaign.
