Last week my fiancee was feeling a little ill... headache, achy all over... With rest and some Cold FX (boosts the immunie system) she was better in about 3 days. I started to get whatever she had myself but also decided to get lots of rest and take some Cold FX too and I fought it off in about a day maybe 2...

Fast forward to this week she was having some serious abdominal pain. She goes ot the ER at the Hospital to be seen. The place is ridiculously over crowded with people sick with the dreaded swine flu. She puts on a mask and waits 6 hours to be seen by a doctor while hoping for the best, that she doesn't get the swine flu too.

Once seen by the doctor they do a blood test and ultrasound for her stomach. Turns out she tore a muscle ... we're both sure it was from the day before when she went all out at the gym doing sit-ups... poor girl.

The blood test also revealed something else...

dun dun dun...

She's already had the dreaded Swine Flu, and now has a natural immunity to it. Apparently I have too.

Wait a second Doc, "you mean that pesky little annoying thing we both fought off last week was, in fact, the dreaded second coming of the bubonic plague...aka, The Swine Flu?"

"Yepp"

According to the ER doc, the Swine Flu is the ONLY flu going around... in other words, it's the Seasonal flu. Also, in his words "it's no more dangerous than any bad flu, just different since this strain hasn't been seen in about 50 years."

So that's why it doesn't affect the elderly nearly as much.

36,000 people in the US alone die each year from the seasonal flu.

I never get flu shots... and I don't think I will any time soon. I don't have any underlying chronic health problems that could complicate from getting the flu. I do feel that peple at high risk for severe complications should be vaccinated, children too etc, but the hype over this "KILLER FLU" is just incredible.

Where's my tinfoil hat now...

so what's REALLY in the vaccine that the government is so hyper about us all receiving in a fearful, cowed, manner?

Thanks Sharif.

Nice posts... Can't let a good crisis go to waste. I wonder what new powers homeland security might get with this. WE MUST ACT NOW....! EeeeeeK!

For all your tinfoil hat conspiracy facts ... just come to Crazy Uncle Shaf.

Shit... that rhymes! Me is clever!

Sure thats right, this is just one more big govt conspiracy to force socialism on america.The govt shouldnt provide vaccines? Who should? the corporations who will only give it to those who can pay? What is it with these blinkered paranoid fools like ron paul,we are dealing with hundreds of millions of people, this isnt the country doctors office where people could pay with eggs.These guys are living in some kind of paranoid shut down la la land,who else but the govt can see to these things?

I think there are nano bots in there as well... it has to be true because I read it on the internets




P.s. Funny how dangerous mercury is and it's in many vaccines.

Sharif, the point is, how then do we see the welfare of the masses of people in these cases? Fact is millions take these things every year and for most there is no problem, we are dealing with a mass phenomena, and yes the their is a difference between govt and corporations in this case, the govt will serve all who need it, the coprs will cut you out over money.

With you Danite.

I expect a reactionary backlash to this bit so please those of you from the USA take a breath after reading this.

You dont live in a wild & dangerous frontier of the New World anymore.....You live in a first world country, the or one of the richest in the world with a HUGE population, made up of thousands of different ethnicities all considering themselves American.

As a nation you are over 230 years old & you had as a doctrine of freedom the declaration of independence for all that time (excluding coloured people & women & a few others).

You hold yourself up to the modern world as a place of freedom & liberty which should be copied globally.

So start living it up to it. You think the Columbine Shootings & all the other school, workplace, malls, eatery massacres are abberations? They are not, yes they happen elsewhere but never to the extent of the United States.

Why?

Because you preach independence & the God given right to do what you want as a free american, with out thought it would appear for any other citizens right to the same thing.

If every one in America is a winner, the best in the world, the "can do attitude" (& actually it is one of the things I like most about you all ) Then to be a LOSER is to not be a true american, to fail, as all imperfect humans do, cannot be countenanced. & it cant be your fault. Someone is to blame. & they must be punished. This imho directly links to the recent discussion on shame & how anything is acceptable to avoid or nullify it.

I link this to your current anger over healthcare. Looking after each other is not Socialism, it is what tribes do!!

I am immensely pleased to live in a country with the level of free medical care we have. I personally would not be either walking or still have a working left eye without it. I am happy to pay taxes towards it. Some Conservative twat from the UK comes over & tells you its terrible & the worst thing ever & will bankrupt the country. BOLLOCKS!!! Your health is the MOST PRECIOUS thing you have. The Health of a nation will help that nation mature & grow & develop. that conservative nob end is unlikely to have ever seen the inside of an NHS hospital unless it was to get his stomach pumped after a drinking binge at Oxbridge. He will have a level of private healthcare, claimed as part of his MP's expenses that the majority of the UK could only dream about.

Basically, if you feel you live in such a Great Country then understand that what makes it great is each and everyone of you working together.

Your current president whatever the rumblings, worked his way up to be the man he is today, your last one was born into a family that could afford to support a self absorbed ignorant boobie.

Be the best you can be & help everyone else to achieve that too. Be one big tribe America, so that oneday all nations can join together & we can all be one Big Tribe of Earth


End of rant..........

Danite

The govt buy the vaccines from the corporations. Certain people in govt also have shares in those corporations. It's corruption inside and out. And to be honest, the level to which I believe that corruption goes is a pill I don't think you will ever swallow. Laying my cards on the table here, I'll tell you that I'm not even talking about govt. I'm talking about the people behind and above govt who pull the strings. I'm not talking about how to provide a solution to swine flu... I'm putting my tinfoil hat on and saying that it was deliberately created and released into the world.

I don't believe these things because I want to. I really dont. I was in denial for quite some time. I believe what I do because of the evidence I've been provided. And I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I've come to know various facts that clearly indicate a very big conspiracy.

Every body knows there is something deeply wrong with the way the world works. And people try to point the finger in all kinds of directions to blame people/govts/countries/policies whatever. But the solution is never found. Once you come to understand the missing piece of that puzzle, everything starts to make much more sense...not less. It doesn't confuse things and it's not complicated... it simplifies life.

Kennedy tried to warn people in the 60s. And we all know what happened to him several weeks later.



What exactly do you think he was saying in this speech?

Blackops,

As your username suggests, you are aware that such things take place. JFK was the last real president of the US. Obama, like all the others who followed, are puppets. It's a shame, because I like him as a man. I like watching him speak. He's got soul, for sure. But so far, he's been a major sell out. Maybe, like Kennedy, he'll see the light, and then try and warn the people about what goes on behind the scenes.

But you know how it's obvious that he doesn't have the same intentions as Kennedy? He's still alive.

Sharif my friend, yes I agree there are many issues out there, and like you I dont like alot of what I see.However I do not believe their is a cabal per se hiding in the shadows controlling the govt.What I believe is that power connects to power.So yes there is often a too close for comfort relationship between the govt and private power of various kinds.However you raise the issue of who the govt gets the vaccines from.Well we have a market sysytem , it is left to the private sector to produce the vaccines, would you rather have it done by the govt which you dont trust at all? The govt is not perfect but the demoratic govt is the only power people have to check and balance private power, and for all its foibles , in the west democratic govt does a good job overall in protecting the public good.I dont see the govt as an enemy, sometimes it is not as steadfast a friend I would like it to be and sometimes even plays the whore, but it is my only protection form the crocodiles in silk suits cruising the halls of corporate power the way kimodo dragon prowls the under brush.Regards

Black ops I agree with what you have to say.I am a buisness man and as such I am into capitalism etc, however there are certain things that must be beyond money like education and health care.All must have equal access to quality in both.Inequality is a function of any complex society, however this doesnt mean all shouldnt be able to live a fully human life.This means the govt must be an organising and directing force in these matters, for if not them then who? The democratic govt for all its faults is the Peoples only friend, if not for our power to chose our govt and the powers that it uses on our behalf, we would be back in a charles dickens novel with children pulling carts of coal like donkeys.I am into capitalism but like all things if people are left "free" to do whatever they want, many wont but many will.There must be a balance.
