FOLLOW THE MONEY ~ Who's FUNDING the VACCINE COMPANIES

[Sorrow]

It's that this is something that needs to mutate in order to properly kill you, if it were some kind of zombie shit we'd be dead in 2 weeks with all the "talking about what to do" stuff.

I'd immediately ban every flight from anywhere to everywhere basically

I don't even pay attention to the news anymore. Whatever is significant in my personal life, I can usually figure out the truth/problem/solution without FOX going on rants for weeks. Anything that is truly penetrating, I'll hear by word of mouth.

Naturally, some are going to try to capitalize off of everything possible, and will manipulate people, systems, and media to do it. Think of all the country songs being sympathetic about Sept. 11 that sprung up. I don't care for country music, so I don't know numbers or facts, but I'm willing to bet very few of them were free.
disaster -> drama -> stupid people -> easy money

Well I heard something funny today...

Years ago it was believed America would never elect an african american president. It was said it would happen when pigs fly. 100 Days after Obama takes office... "Swine Flu"

Just tossing some humor in the mix...

[Zipfinator]

I heard that same joke today Mayhem.

[BillyDa59]

Heh, not a bad joke.

[MELVIn]

Thought it fitted here aswell.. :\


I mean seriously... how did this swine flu craze become so big? This is like the bird flu and mad cow all over again.

[Dionysos]

Yeah, I dont really care anymore at all. qft about the news. Its incredible how they blow this shit up... its like mass psychosis or something.

Be afraid! Be very afraid!

[blackdeath]

There's a flu epidemic? And people are profiting by several hundred million? Hrm. I must have missed it. I was too busy focusing on the $10 trillion that has flowed out to the financial community in the past 2 years.




Oh, and while we're on the topic, I'm not sure I can picture what kind of a dick you'd have to be to say "AIDS isn't that deadly." I mean, really.


As far as the comments being about how this swine flu is overblown, I will just say this: you're missing the point. So it's the flu and hasn't killed any in the US. Big deal, you say. Sure. To which I respond: no shit, you don't think the thousands of PhDs at the CDC don't know that? They're not worried about it NOW they're worried about what it could BECOME. It's an air-borne influenza that no one has any research on. A few mutations and before you know it you've got the Spanish Flu. Likely? No. But then again the unlikely involves 100 million dead, so, you know, you kind of like to take some basic precautions.

Look at the big picture here people.

Just out of interest did anyone get the 'Important information about swine flu' leaflette in the post today?

This type of flu is a completely new type of virus, There is at present no vaccine and such a vaccine can only be developed when the specific strain has been identified ,and it would then take several months to produce.

Well that will surely just add to the hype because people don't wan't to hear that there is no vaccine, I concur, this has been blown way out of proportion; the media seem to have exploited this 'pandemic' and incited mass hysteria.

You realize this shit can mutate, right? And that the more people it infects the more chances of mutation? And that the more mutations the more chances there are that it will become more deadly and wipe out 100 mil?

One does not fuck around with air-borne diseases, man.

Yes theoretically it could mutate, but as you said it's very unlikely that it would mutate to such an extent that it would be classed as an epidemic. The new H1N1 strain originated in pigs, as they are highly susceptable to strains of influenza that are endemic in other species such as birds and humans. Thusly it is much more likely that if the virus was to mutate, it would happen in pigs as multiple strains of influenza could possibly swap genes and yes; produce some highly contagious drug-resistant variant of influenza.

Humans being only susceptable to some strains would probably not cause the virus to mutate as the different strains would not be able to exchange genes.

It's all being completely overhyped, it's very unlikely that any new mutation will occur.

the chance of the virus mutating increases with the amount of infected, and, the amount treated with Tamiflu ... You do the maths...

I did some research and found out that only %9 of the victims die and the vaccine will be available before any serious threats occur. This "Swine Flu" killed %95 less people than seasonal flu and it is hell of a lot overhyped to such an extent that they started to hand out masks and scare the shit out of the civilians. I approve the idea that pharmeceutical companies ARE trying to make a profit out of this swine shit disease. Why else would they try to scare the shit out the civilians?

[Sacul15]

I don't remember any pharmeceutical companies trying to scare me. Only the CDC and the WHO.

[Dr. Delta]

90 people get the swine flu and everybody wants to wear a mask, a million people have AIDS and no one wants to wear a condom.

Everyone will die eventually.
