Default Re: Lets talk about the Swine flu...

This subject fascinates me.
Every year, 36,000 Americans die from the seasonal flu.
So far this year, 1,000 have died from Swine.

Of course it is no consolation to those that died from it, but 1,000 is barely a pandemic as compared to what normally happens annually from a regular flu.

This is nuts!!!

It's all a conspiracy set up by big pharma and the health care industry. Fear of infection = people running to get "preventative vaccinations" = Big profits$$$ How about everyone just wash your hands and if you do get sick… STAY HOME!!!

ya know, sheeple amuse the hell out of me sometimes.

Numbers.

Around the world.....2 MILLION PEOPLE died from AIDS in 2007.

5,000 people die from "Swine Flu" and it's an ""Epidemic""???

Hello???

Let's put this in perspective....Causes of death in the US (2006) by the numbers...

Heart disease: 631,636
Cancer: 559,888
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 137,119
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,583
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 121,599
Diabetes: 72,449
Alzheimer's disease: 72,432


LINK

Special note here -

Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,326

So...just something to think about....

NSC recorded 39,800 motor vehicle-related deaths in 2008.

LINK

Now...

56,326 people DIED in the US from the FLU and Pneumonia in 2006.

39,800 people DIED in the US from a Motor Vehicle related accident.

Why weren't THOSE "epidemics"???

Gotta love the media, eh??

Dave,
That is not EpiCor.
It is pain killers.
You were too high to know you were sick.

My granddaughter just got over her two day bout with swine flu. It did slow her down a bit. I think I have already had it and had very little symptoms, as I have been repeatedly exposed to it. I had a slight headache a few days ago and have been a little sore, but that's not unusual. I have seen some people hit pretty hard for three or four days. Seems like a mild flu, over all.

Why are we in panic over this swine flu? It is true that in Jacksonville people have caught it. But I have not seen any evidence of it being a pandemic.

Not to go political, but just to relate to
what you said one of my professors claims it was fabricated to push the healthcare reform.
