The shocking truth about why Obama announced a National Public Health

Emergency in the US this weekend.

Dr. Mercola Interviews Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine

Information Center

President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national

emergency on Friday October 23, empowering the health secretary to suspend

federal

requirements and speed up treatment.

His declaration authorizes Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen

Sebelius to bypass normal federal regulations so health officials can respond

more quickly to the outbreak, which, allegedly, has killed more than 1,000

people in the United States.

" As a nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as

individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging

pandemic, " Obama wrote in the declaration, which the White House announced

Saturday.

He said the pandemic keeps evolving, the rates of illness are rising

rapidly in many areas and there's a potential " to overburden health care

resources. "

Because of vaccine production delays, the government has backed off

initial estimates that 120 million doses would be available by mid-October. As

of

mid-October, only 11 million doses had been shipped to health departments,

doctor's offices and other providers, according to the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention officials said.

The government now estimates to have about 50 million doses of swine flu

vaccine out by mid-November and 150 million in December.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

It would appear that President Obama has not been apprised of the real

facts of the situation, and has declared the swine flu a national public

health emergency. To read the declaration in its entirety, please see this _Los

Angeles Times article_

(http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/10/obama-h1n1-swine-flu-nationa\

l-emergency.html) .

The intention of this report is to show you with the government's own

statistics that there appears to be MASSIVE amounts of misinformation and

outright deception going on that appear to be designed to panic American people

into believing that H1N1 influenza is more serious and widespread than it

is.

We are the ONLY major news source that is warning the public about the

true extent of this misinformation regarding the true nature of H1N1 swine flu

in America. Most of the mainstream media is continuing to spread

misinformation.

 

I am PLEADING with you to pass this information and our website link to as

many people as you know. We simply can't continue to fight the massive

media and apparently deceptive government health agencies unless people like

you rise up and make your voice known.

Send this link to EVERY person you love or care about. Write them a

PERSONAL note that is kind and gentle and ask them to do their homework and

seriously evaluate all the evidence before they accept the information being

shared by the media, which is potentially being heavily influenced by

pharmaceutical interests, as the truth.

Warning!

Once you either listen to the audio or read this article you will most

likely be shocked by the extent of how serious this misinformation really is.

So be ready to be surprised.

If a private individual were to spread misinformation like this they would

most likely suffer some very serious consequences, perhaps being

immediately thrown in prison for conspiracy. But since this is the US

government you

will not likely see any prosecutions as a result of the distortions we

will reveal.

 

CBS AND THE SWINE FLU

Jon Rappoport

_nomorefakenews.com_ (http://nomorefakenews.com/)

Get this. The CDC stopped testing people for Swine Flu in JULY. Why?

Because CDC assumed there was already an epidemic, and therefore more tests

would be waste of time and money.

CBS has been trying to obtain state-by-state numbers for Swine Flu cases

compiled, by the CDC, BEFORE the testing was stopped. The CDC has refused to

come across with those numbers. It's been stonewalling CBS for the last

three months.

Why?

No answer from the CDC. But the truth is obvious. The actual Swine Flu

case numbers don't begin to match the ominous pronouncements about Swine Flu

from the CDC, and the case numbers certainly don't match the general press

hysteria and fear-mongering.

But CBS didn't stop at the stone wall of the CDC. They went to individual

states who continued to test patients for Swine Flu after July, and they

obtained some VERY interesting figures.

Brilliant CBS Investigation Gets BURIED by Media

I just published a _major swine flu update _

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that-\

Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-O

verestimated.aspx) on Saturday about how CBS News investigative

journalists exposed how misleading statistics are being used to panic the

public into

complying with the huge H1N1 swine flu vaccination program.

Last week, CBS News published the results from a three-month long

investigation into the swine flu. One would think this would have received

MASSIVE

media exposure since their findings are in direct conflict with what the

government is publicly stating.

Of major interest, as you can see on _the video on the Saturday article_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that

-Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx) , CBS investigative

journalists went to the CDC to seek their help in clarifying the situation and

answering outstanding questions but CDC officials refused. They would not

cooperate and CBS had to do their own investigation.

 

Even worse, after CBS compiled the data, the CDC refused to comment on

it.

What's this all about???

It can only make you wonder if the CDC is really interested in

authentically serving the public good, or if, perhaps, it has been heavily

influenced

by outside corporate interests.

This is not good. The only way that we can have an effective response to

the reported H1N1 influenza outbreak is if the government is transparent

with the data. We have simply not seen ANY evidence that government health

agencies are willing to be transparent. In fact, all evidence points to the

contrary.

The CBS investigative report included state-by-state test results that

revealed some VERY different facts from what the US Centers for Disease

Control has been telling the American public.

The CBS report found that H1N1 flu cases are NOT AT ALL as prevalent as

feared. A CBS article even states:

" If you've been diagnosed " probable " or " presumed " 2009 H1N1 or " swine

flu " in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn't

have H1N1 flu.

 

In fact, you probably didn't have the flu at all.

The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care

professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative for H1N1

as

well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states were specifically

testing patients deemed to be most likely to have H1N1 flu, based on

symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico. "

In most states the percentages ranged from 83 to 98 percent NOT BEING H1N1

or influenza.

As you can see from this CBS News graphic, not only are most cases of

suspected flu-like illnesses not H1N1 influenza, they're not influenza at all,

but rather some type of cold or upper respiratory infection that looks like

influenza but is caused by another type of virus or bacteria!

(http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/21/cbsnews_investigates/main5404829.shtm\

l?tag=cbsnewsLeadStoriesArea) )

Given these facts, there is a HUGE question in my mind as to whether or

not the 1,000 deaths attributed to the swine flu were in fact CONFIRMED to be

the H1N1 virus.

We Were Winning the Misinformation Battle

If you read the LA Times link in the above reference you will see that

their poll showed that 62% of the public were choosing to NOT vaccinate

themselves or their family. Other polls showed different numbers but nearly all

showed that the MAJORITY of Americans were panicking and accepting the

government story.

So President Obama released this " emergency " declaration over the weekend �

most likely because he trusted his federal health official advisors � and

that declaration has the potential to create massive fear and panic in the

population, Because he is the PRESIDENT and people are hearing their

PRESIDENT tell them that 1000 Americans have died from swine flu and we are in

the middle of a serious public health emergency and many people may be

thinking " I probably should play it safe and get the vaccine for myself and my

family. "

(http://www.facebook.com/doctor.health) I have had a number of people

post on my _Facebook Fan Page_ (http://www.facebook.com/doctor.health) of

this fear and concern and prior to the announcement they were not making these

types of comments.

Most mainstream media has chosen to ignore the impact we are making and

attempt to label us as clueless " fear mongers. " This weekend the _Boston

Globe_

(http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2009/10\

/25/ignore_the_hysterics_get_swine_flu_vaccine/) _ REFUSED to

acknowledge this site by name in an article they posted Sunday_

(http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2009/10\

/25/ignore_the

_hysterics_get_swine_flu_vaccine/) .

" Some of the same government-haters who spread myths about " death panels''

for the elderly are now spouting misinformation about the swine flu

vaccine, and they're getting support from holistic-medicine enthusiasts, some

autism activists, and talk show host Bill Maher. "

So let's CAREFULY examine the facts from President Obama's weekend

announcement.

One Thousand Deaths from Swine Flu?!

Oh really?

Well I am from Chicago and I want to see the evidence. If you read Obama's

declaration, you will find a complete absence of documentation to support

his assertion that 1000 have died from H1N1 in the US. Nada, nothing no

links, no references anywhere in the document to back up his assertion.

In fact, if you go to the definitive collector and holder of the US data,

you will find that there is NO evidence to back this claim.

The CDC's own web site readily admits that since August 30, 2009 they are

no longer testing for H1N1. They don't even recommend it any more. They are

substituting a clinical definition for blood testing that will positively

confirm that the " suspected " cases of H1N1 influenza are actually H1N1

influenza.

They've even coined what appears to be a whole new term: " ILI, " which

stands for " influenza-like illness. "

The _CDC H1N1 flu site reads_ (http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/reportingqa.htm)

:

" ... tracking of 2009 H1N1 hospitalizations and deaths will not be the

same after August 30, 2009.

In an effort to add additional structure to the national 2009 H1N1

reporting, new case definitions for influenza-associated hospitalizations and

deaths were implemented on August 30, 2009.

The new definitions allow states to report to CDC hospitalizations and

deaths (either confirmed OR probable) resulting from all types of influenza,

not just those from 2009 H1N1 flu.

1. Influenza and pneumonia syndrome hospitalizations and deaths may

be an overestimate of actual number of flu-related hospitalizations and

deaths, but CDC believes influenza and pneumonia syndromic reports are likely

to be a more sensitive measure of flu-associated hospitalizations and deaths

than laboratory confirmed reports during this pandemic.

 

However, the syndromic reports of all hospitalizations and deaths recorded

as either influenza or pneumonia will mean that the case counts are less

specific than before and will include cases that are not related to

influenza infection. "

 

Folks, make no mistake about it. Health officials and media WILL trumpet

these numbers as being H1N1 " swine flu deaths " even though, as you can

CLEARLY read on the CDC's site, they admit that they will now include

hospitalizations and deaths that are not even RELATED to the common influenza

infection, let alone H1N1.

Well, no wonder the flu appears to be spreading when they are now

including mere " symptoms of flu, " which the CBS investigation found were NOT

EVEN

INFLUENZA RELATED in the overwhelming majority of cases!

Public Health Emergency Declaration This Weekend Was Initiated MONTHS Ago

Most have no idea that the declaration announced over the weekend was not

legally initiated then. In fact it was initiated months ago. There was no

new legal action that occurred over the weekend, only an announcement about

a highly questionable and completely unsubstantiated 1000 deaths in the US

from H1N1.

The Secretary has actually renewed that declaration twice, once on July

24, 2009, and more recently on October 1, 2009.

National Emergency Declaration is an IRRATIONAL Response

It seems quite obvious that the US government has full intention of

administering as many doses of swine flu vaccine as possible this season,

despite

what the scientific evidence demonstrates. Declaring a national public

health emergency because of an influenza virus strain that is milder than the

seasonal influenza strains that have been circulating in the past few

decades every year is nothing short of bizarre.

One can only wonder the motivation behind this intention.

Could it be that $7 BILLION dollars will be earned by the drug companies

for the vaccines? Quite possibly, but even if that were not the case let's

look to Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest individuals in the world and

one of the wisest investors the world has ever known.

One of the principles I guide my business by is his investment

recommendation of " Opportunity Costs " .

Let me explain. Buffett makes it very clear that when you choose to invest

in one project by definition you are choosing to not invest in something

else that may be far more beneficial to you or your company.

Same principle applies. All these resources are being focused on what

appears to be a phony pandemic that does not exist and is no real threat to the

public.

What else could we do with $7 billion dollars and all the time, effort and

attention that this issue has received? I won't speculate here but you can

let me know what you think in the comments section below.

Why Aren't President Obama's Own Children Immunized for Swine Flu?

Despite the urgency and threat of this virus, the President's own

daughters have not been rushed to the nearest clinic for a protective swine flu

shot. According to a blurb on the _Fox News White House blog_

(http://whitehouse.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/10/08/first-daughters-not-vaccinated-a\

gainst-h1n1/)

, President Obama's daughters have not been vaccinated against H1N1. The

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said " the vaccine is not available

to them based on their risk. "

This seems odd, if you ask me. Surely the First Family would receive any

and all protective measures against a deadly epidemic that is spreading like

wildfire and claiming the lives of healthy children and young adults?

It also seems odd to declare a national emergency even if there were 1,000

confirmed swine flu deaths. There are so many diseases that claim so many

more lives each and every year... The only difference is they don't have a

vaccine against them that they can promote that every man, woman, and child

should take.

For example, hospital-acquired infections alone kill some 90,000 people

annually in the US!

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is one specific type

of infection that poses a very serious public health risk. MRSA infections

are getting progressively worse and actually exact a greater death toll than

" modern plagues " like AIDS.

In fact, a 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association

(JAMA) found there were close to 100,000 cases of invasive MRSA infections

in the United States in 2005 (one of the most recent years for which data is

available), which lead to more than 18,600 deaths.

Again, I have to stress the obvious that the response to the swine flu is

so outrageously exaggerated it defies all logic.

However, we knew all along it could get to this, and I, along with many

others, have warned you about it for months now.

BEWARE: Taking Tylenol with Flu Vaccine May Actually Make You Worse

It feels like we're rushing head-first toward a man-made major public

health catastrophe. And unfortunately, recent research shows that common

medical practices may aggravate the situation.

According to a two Czechoslovakian studies, published in the journal

_Lancet_

(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19837254?ordinalpos=3 & itool=EntrezSystem2.PE\

ntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVD

ocSum) on October 17, giving your child an analgesic to prevent fever

when getting a vaccine could render them more prone to secondary infections.

Their studies showed that after vaccination, the immune response was lower

among babies who were given acetaminophen (such as Tylenol), right after

they received the shot.

The vaccines used in the study were for pneumococcal disease, Haemophilus

influenza type b (Hib), diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B,

polio and rotavirus.

No flu vaccines were included. However, it's likely the effect would still

be the same.

_MSN.com_

(https://owcex01.mercola.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=f0ccba0f48f04b10a8a267a5aae32a0b & U\

RL=http://health.msn.com/health-topics/cold-and-flu/articlepag

e.aspx?cp-documentid=100246901) quotes infectious disease expert Dr. Marc

Siegel as saying that:

" ... the conclusion that Tylenol not only suppresses fever, but also

decreases immune response is plausible. After all, what is an immune response?

It's an inflammatory response. "

The researchers also found that although fewer infants developed a fever

after getting acetaminophen, they also developed significantly fewer

antibodies against the disease they were vaccinated against. They believe the

acetaminophen's anti-inflammatory activity might interfere with your body's

immune system antibody response, which could explain why the vaccine was

rendered less effective.

However, what is not mentioned by either _MSN_

(http://health.msn.com/health-topics/cold-and-flu/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid\

=100246901) , or

_foodconsumer.org_

(http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Drug/tylenol_may_raise_infection_r\

isk_in_babies_after_vaccination_171.html) , which also ran

an article on these findings, is that a lowered immune response also means

you're more susceptible to develop other infections. And, as we now know, it

is secondary infections such as bacterial staph infections that turn out

to be deadly -- not the flu virus in and of itself.

The First Reports of H1N1 Vaccine Deaths are Now Here

Many of us knew that this too was more or less inevitable.

Reports have now emerged from Hungarian and Swedish news sources that some

people have died shortly after getting vaccinated against the H1N1 virus.

_The Budapest Times_ (http://www.budapesttimes.hu/content/view/13267/219/)

reported the death of a 64-year-old woman who had received the vaccine two

days prior to her sudden demise.

The Hungarian H1N1 vaccine is supplied by local vaccine manufacturer

Omnivest, whose vaccines are egg grown and adjuvanted with aluminum phosphate.

Meanwhile, the Swedish newspaper _Aftonbladet_

(http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article6001249.ab) reported that the swine

flu vaccine may be " too

potent, " and that _four people with compromised health had died_

(http://theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content & view=article & id=1350:fourth-\

vaccine-

death-reported-in-sweden & catid=41:highlighted-news & Itemid=105 & lang=en)

just after receiving the swine flu vaccine. One man suffered a fatal heart

attack after his vaccination, and a 65-year-old woman was found dead in her

home two days after receiving the H1N1 vaccine.

In addition, the Swedish newspaper _Dagens Nyheter reports_

(http://www.dn.se/nyheter/vetenskap/190-tal-biverkningar-av-vaccinet-1.979474) :

" So far, the authority has received more than 190 reports from both health

care and private individuals. By far the most common are pain in the arm.

Then mild flu symptoms like fever, muscle pain, stomach pain, headaches,

dizziness and fatigue. "

The article goes on to state that GlaxoSmithKline is attributing a higher

than normal rate of side effects to the adjuvants in the vaccine:

" According to the vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline, maybe one in ten

vaccinated will experience trouble, which is slightly more than the usual

seasonal influenza vaccine. This is because a substance in the vaccine

triggers immune your immune response. "

GlaxoSmithKline's Pandemrix vaccine contains the controversial adjuvant

squalene.

Unfortunately, vaccine manufacturers have persuaded countries in Europe

and elsewhere to add squalene to seasonal influenza and H1N1 vaccines,

whereas squalene still has not been approved by the FDA for use in the US.

In order to legally allow unlicensed squalene adjuvants to be included in

licensed H1N1 vaccines, the US government would have had to issue an

Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). It is unclear if the EUA President Obama

issued on Friday will cover adding novel adjuvants like squalene, or whether a

separate EUA has to be issued in order to allow the use of unapproved

adjuvants...

But European authorities may have a better clue about its safety than

they're willing to admit. A recent _article_

(http://www.thelocal.de/national/20091012-22523.html) in the English version of

the German news source The

Local, for example, warns that the German Defense Ministry has ordered a

special stock of H1N1 vaccines for their troops that will contain neither

mercury nor adjuvants, whereas the general public will be given vaccines

containing both.

Vaccinations began throughout Europe a little over a week ago. Sweden was

one of the first to begin their program on October 12.

According to the Stockhom-based European Centre for Disease Prevention and

Control, there have been a total of 230 deaths linked to H1N1 in Europe

since April. About half of all cases occurred in the UK.

The question is, are the European CDC's numbers as poor as the US CDC,

whose statistics were shown by CBS News to be exaggerated by 80-98 percent?

Unprecedented Media Manipulation is Underway

The US government is sparing no underhanded tactics to indoctrinate the

public with the message that vaccination is the way to go if you want to

live.

Sid the Science Kid, an animated children's show, is now used to " educate "

children about the flu, and going to see the school nurse to get

vaccinated.

" Just like Sid, government-wide efforts to prevent flu are all about the

science, " says the government site Flu.gov. The episode premiered on PBS

Kids on Monday, October 26th titled " Getting a Shot: You can do it! "

 

Continuing Education

Folks, universal flu vaccination should be about the science backing up

the safety, effectiveness and necessity of that policy, because if it was,

this current travesty would not be taking place.

You Can Make a Difference

Most polls show that we ARE making a difference because more people are

becoming educated about influenza and flu vaccines, especially H1N1 swine

flu. Recent national polls have revealed that 30 to 50% in many communities

are not planning to get a swine flu shot. Those who haven't made up their

minds yet have lots of questions. So we have created _some posters that you can
