A pandemic means that a new infectious disease is spreading throughout the world. By definition, a “pandemic” is an epidemic that is geographically widespread. It is very difficult to predict a “pandemic” and a rash response can be extremely damaging.
Article Published in Time Magazine April 27, 2009 discusses how dozens died and hundreds were injured from vaccines as a result of the 1976 swine flu fiasco, when the Ford administration use the infection of soldiers at Fort Dix as a pretext for a mass vaccination of the entire country.
The article acknowledges that the 1976 fiasco was an example of “how not to handle a flu outbreak” yet the fear and panic is being promoted in the majority of the media.
This isn’t the first time we have a swine flu. The 1976 massive swine flu vaccination campaign resulted in: Claims totaling $1.3 billion filed by victims who had suffered paralysis from the vaccine. The vaccine

This brand new flu virus responds so far to Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) which is a part of a group of anti-influenza drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors. They work by blocking a viral enzyme that helps the influenza virus to attack cells in your respiratory tract. Tamiflu is approved for treatment of uncomplicated influenza A and B in children 1 year of age or older and for prevention of influenza in people 13 years or older.
Please be aver that Tamiflu is NOT a safe drug. Serious side effects include convulsions, delirium or delusions, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, cough.( the very symptoms you’re trying to avoid). Tamiflu has been reported to be ineffective against seasonal flu outbreaks, and may not be adequate to fight an epidemic or pandemic. 14 deaths in children and teens where reported as a result of neuropsychiatric problems and brain infections in fact Japan banned Tamiflu for children

AN EPIDEMIC is an illness that spreads to many people within one or more geographic regions. A PANDEMIC is an epidemic that spreads globally.
Most pandemics develop from a new type of infectious agent, one with new genetic components to which most people have not yet had exposure, and have not developed any immunity.
Pandemic may not necessarily cause more severe disease than an epidemic. For example: noninfectious illnesses, such as obesity, can also reach epidemic or pandemic proportions.
You may be worried, confused, and wondering what you can do to protect you and your family from the flu. Immunization for the seasonal flu and a newly developed swine flu vaccine is being released but you may have concerns about vaccine safety.
Word of cousin – No matter what you hear — even if it comes from your doctor — get solid scientific facts and information before you make decision that may effect your health and

On June 11th 2009, American health officials declared a “pandemic” a public health emergency as 28,774 people got infected by the A(H1N1).Most of those infected rapidly recovered, and did not need medical treatment however, 144 have died. As of now at least 22 million Americans have been infected with H1N1, with 3,900 deaths, according to data from the CDC. 21 U.S. children having died from H1N1 during the past week.
According to CDC Each year in the United States on average, 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications, and; about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes.
Flu-related deaths can result from pneumonia and from exacerbation of cardiopulmonary conditions and other chronic diseases. Deaths of older adults account for more than 90% of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza.
World Health Organization reported that as of October 11, 2009 more then 399,232 laboratory confirmed cases

Swine flu is a contagious respiratory disease, caused by a type-A influenza virus that affects pigs and causes seasonal flu outbreaks in humans. The current strain, A(H1N1), is a new variation of an H1N1 virus that contains genetic material of bird and pig versions of the flu.
The symptoms are: High fever (over 100), severe headache, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, joint aches, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, lack of appetite.
This version of the flu however, has never before been seen in neither human nor animals. Nearly all suspected new cases of the virus have been reported as mild and preliminary scientific evidence is pointing out that this virus is NOT as potent as initially thought. Scientists did not find similarities between present swine flu and historical strains that spread widely, with catastrophic effect.
But I wonder where this brand new, never before seen virus came from, especially since it cannot be contracted from eating pork
