Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 _major swine flu update _ (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that-\ Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx) 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. The CDC stopped testing people for Swine Flu in JULY. Video and article at: _http://articles.mercola.com/swine-flu-article/20091027.htm_ (http://articles.mercola.com/swine-flu-article/20091027.htm) 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. 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. 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. " _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! 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.

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?
