LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE SWINE FLU PANDEMIC

A new influenza H1 and one virus was declared a pandemic by Dr. Chan, director of the World Health Organization, WHO, on June 11, 2009. She labeled it a pandemic alert level VI, which is its maximum level. Pandemic means global and worldwide, it does not mean an epidemic.

National public health authorities are preparing for the influenza season this fall to be more complex than usual. The assumption is that there will be an increase in the number of infections taking place when autumn arrives during the normal influenza season.

The FDA has recently approved vaccines for the coming 2009 influenza season. They campaign for vaccination is aimed at school age children.

VACCINATIONS FOR CHILDREN

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that children receive 28 doses of vaccine (for 14 diseases) by the age of two...more than double the number required in the 1970s. Seventy seven per cent of kindergartners have completed their immunization.

Children between the ages of birth and seven will receive 47 doses of vaccines -- and 67 or more by the age of 18 – if the current vaccination schedule of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the CDC is followed."

Why would you want your child to get a new virus in his system that is seasonal?

We have developed a herd-like immunity mind set. It conveys the belief that a highly immunized population is more likely to resist penetration by serious pathogens. The magnitude of the issue is reflected by the estimated 5,000 families with autistic children seeking damages from a federal program to compensate for alleged harm caused by vaccines."

THE DYNAMICS OF SWINE FLU VIRUS

Swine flu viruses come in through pig populations worldwide. It is not common that it is transmitted to humans, and does not always lead to human influenza. People with regular exposure to pigs, as farmers, are at increased risk of swine flu infection. Infected animals pose no risk of infection when properly cooked.

Symptoms of abnormal swine flu in humans are similar to influenza in general, namely: chills, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, severe headache, coughing, weakness, and general discomfort. Seasonal virus typically infects only cells in the upper respiratory system. In contrast, that this H1 virus exhibits an ability to infect cells deep in the lungs, and can cause pneumonia and in severe cases death. Swine have become a reservoir for viruses that potentially can cause major respiratory outbreaks and even a possible pandemic attack in humans.

In April 2009, influenza a virus, labeled H1, was isolated from humans in Mexico and the United States. This virus was previously undecided. There were as of May 18, 2009, 8800 laboratory confirmed cases in 40 countries resulting in only 74 deaths.

THE NEW VIRUS

This current virus has a lot less anti-genetic variation in it then that which is seen during a typical influenza season in humans. Seasonal flu virus reacts with the 2009 H1 virus.

If a boost of a swine flu vaccination will be at all protective against the 2009 H1 virus still remains to be determined.

The virus appears readily transmit some will between humans, and this is the reason for alarm by health agencies. There is worldwide monitoring of the genetic properties of this virus, looking for any changes that may result in antiviral recommendations.

This new virus contains a combination of gene segments previously unreported. This 2009 H1 virus does not have molecular markers to predict any adaptation to humans or to pinpoint a possibility of it being a pandemic virus as in 1918.

All known human influenza viruses have a LYS at position 627 and the DB2 protein. This virus has a GL at that position, which is typically only present in bird influenza viruses.

There is no similarity between this 2009 H1 virus and all the other swine flu viruses that have been circulating undetected for a long time. It has a low genetic diversity, and this virus is distinct from the ones we normally have seen from North American swine flu viruses.

PROBLEMS WITH SWINE FLU VACCINATIONS

Clinical trials still have not been conducted to be sure that this vaccine is safe and even effective. These trials will start in early August and some results will trickle in by early October. The vast majority of cases have been very mild.

This virus has shown very little evidence yet of becoming virulent. There is a good chance many of these cases will be mild.

Antiviral medication, as Tami flu, will be available to reduce the symptoms of a person already infected with the flu. The vaccines however are used to only prevent the infection.

The vaccine will not protect you against the one influenza strain that was declared as a pandemic by the world organization in June. Even though it is not effective against a pandemic event, health officials are pushing that Americans receive a seasonal flu vaccine, because the pandemic virus will circulate with the seasonal flu vaccine.

Normally, 20% of Americans develop influenza each year. 200,000 are hospitalized for this tool, and about 36,000 people died. Those who die have other associated health problems as well.

This seasonal flu vaccine manufacture was started in April, before the H1 virus was even discovered. After being infected with the swine flu virus, and the H1 virus, 17 Britons died out of 7500 confirmed cases.

VIRUSES LIKE DRY WEATHER

Flu spreads better in dry air. The key is the absolute humidity, measuring the amount of water in the air regardless of temperature. Absolute humidity does not depend on air temperature. When absolute humidity is low, viruses survive longer, and their transmission rates go up. Adding humidity to your air reduces your chance of getting viruses.

BRITAIN

A large-scale vaccination is planned in Britain to vaccinate the entire country. Private contractors will help doctors carry out this massive vaccination job. The extra work of answering phone calls and office visits are overwhelming doctors who are then prevented from doing their routine care. Each doctor or nurse plans to vaccinate between 30 to 40 people every hour.

Britain has been hit hard with several times a greater number of cases than other countries because they were traveling to Mexico and the United States when the viruses were first a peer. All the 60 million residents will be vaccinated. Everyone will be offered free shots as soon as they become available. They expect enough vaccinations for half the population, 30 million vaccinations.

VACCINATING OUR ELDERLY

The aluminum and the mercury used in vaccines are significant neurotoxins, which play a major role in all neurological disorders. It is also important to remember that both of these metals accumulate in the brain and spinal cord. This makes them much more dangerous than rapidly excreted toxins.

Numerous studies have shown harmful effects when aluminum accumulates in the brain, including Alzheimer's disease and possibly Parkinson's disease and ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease). This may also explain the ten-fold increase in Alzheimer's disease in those receiving the flu vaccine five years in a row.

COMMENTARY

This H1 virus is also known as swine flu. The swine influenza a virus can spread from people was infected to others through coughs and sneezes. The germs are spread through the air or onto surfaces that other people may touch. It is not transmitted from pigs to humans nor from eating any pork products.

Big drug companies are controlling what laws and policies are made to guarantee their profits. It is going to be made a law that everyone is vaccinated involuntarily. The top healthcare experts in the field have all been ignored on this subject.

Some of you may remember the swine flu campaign of 1976 was a fiasco, causing death and permanent disability. The vaccine program was stopped in its tracks after three weeks of injury. This campaign may be a repeat performance.

Canada is planning to vaccinate its entire population. You can be sure America is going to be next. It's not if, but when. Mass vaccinations will be administered in Norway this November, 2009

Six drug companies that are making the vaccine are not manufacturing the vaccine that may prevent a pandemic attack. No manufacturer will be held liable for the harm caused by this untested vaccine. No one knows how many doses will be needed, but two vaccinations are scheduled per person.

We should all be more concerned about the 100 MILLION doses of LIVE-VIRUS vaccine that BIG PHARMA is making, BECAUSE it will give ALL who are inoculated with it, a "case" of the "swine flu". Through shedding, the live virus in many instances, will cause a secondary infection, and infect the non vaccinated since the live-virus recipients are not required to self-quarantine.

Unfortunately there is a lot more hype to this swine flu story then reality.
