The Swine Flu Hoax - Is the Hype Really a Cover Up?Are we living through a swine flu hoax? Rumors are surfacing that support this very idea! But why? Why are there rumors that the H1N1 virus is all a bunch of bull? Much of it has to do with a three month long investigation by CBS news that was released earlier this week. It revealed very low numbers of the virus. The report included state by state test results.
CBS Investigates - Is There a Swine Flu Hoax?The CBS study found that H1N1 flu cases are not as prevalent as the Centers for Disease Control says it is and they revealed some very different facts. Is the swine flu a big hoax? The CDC did not initially respond to CBS, so CBS went to all 50 states directly and asked for the statistics on state lab-confirmed H1N1 cases prior to the halt of individual testing and counting in July. The CDC stopped testing for the virus because they assumed there was already an epidemic, and therefore more tests would be waste of time and money. CBS had been trying to obtain state-by-state numbers for Swine Flu cases compiled by the CDC before testing was stopped. The CDC has refused to come across with those numbers. It's literally been stonewalling CBS for the last three months. The CDC states on their main flu Web site http://www.cdc.gov/flu/ that flu activity is increasing in the United States, with most states reporting "widespread influenza activity." The CDC goes on to say that "So far, most flu is 2009 H1N1 flu." That statement is absurd since the CDC stopped confirming swine flu back in July, 2009. So how do they really know or are they simply guessing? Is this a swine flu hoax? At the same time, it would appear that President Obama wasn't apprised of the real facts of the situation, and has therefore declared the 'swine flu a national public health emergency'. According to the government's own statistics, there appears to be huge amounts of misinformation and outright deception that appear to be designed to panic American people into believing that H1N1 influenza is more serious and widespread than it is. 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. CBS didn't stop looking though. They went to individual states that continued to test patients for Swine Flu after July, and obtained some interesting facts. "If you've been diagnosed "probable" or "presumed" 2009 H1N1 or "swine flu" in recent months, you may be surprised to know that 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. 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% not being H1N1 or influenza. To many people, this inferred a swine flu hoax in the making. Do you think it's a swine flu hoax? Are We Purposely Being Misled? CBS News and the CDC Contradictions - Who is right? CBS reported that in late July 2009 the CDC advised states to stop testing for H1N1 flu, and they also stopped counting individual cases. Their rationale for this, according to CBS News, was that it was a waste of resources to test for H1N1 flu because it was already confirmed as an epidemic. So just like that, virtually every person who visited their physician with flu-like symptoms since late July was assumed to have H1N1, with no testing necessary because there's an epidemic. It's interesting to note that at the same time as the CDC decided the H1N1 epidemic warranted no further testing for cases due to its epidemic status, Finnish health authorities actually downgraded the threat of swine flu. In late July the health ministry and the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) in Finland actually removed swine flu from a list of diseases considered dangerous to the public because the majority of cases recovered without medication or hospital care! The CDC continues to use fear to motivate and control Americans with their worst-case swine flu scenarios, but they say nothing of the experience of those in the southern hemisphere, which just finished their flu season and found it was not as bad as expected.
You can see for yourself from this CBS News graphic, not only are most cases of suspected flu-like illnesses not H1N1, they're not even the flu but more likely some type of cold or upper respiratory infection! Read about the CBS News H1N1 investigation Where Does the CDC Get Their Data?Given CBS News' findings, (that most cases of flu-like illnesses are neither H1N1 nor the flu), it begs the question: Why is the CDC reporting that most flu in the US is in fact H1N1? Is this really a swine flu hoax? Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, was a consumer representative on the FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee in 2003. She asked the head of the influenza branch of the CDC how much of the flu-like illness that occurs in America every year is actually due to the flu. The answer was about 20%, which corresponds more closely with the CBS News data from 2009. According to the CBS News study, when you come down with chills, fever, cough, runny nose, lethargy and all those other flu-like symptoms, the illness is likely caused by influenza at most 17% of the time and as little as 3%! The other 83% to 97% of the time it's caused by other viruses or bacteria. So remember that not every illness that appears to be the flu, actually is the flu. In fact, most of the time it's not. Curiously, the CDC still advises those who were told they had 2009 H1N1 (and therefore should have a natural immunity to getting it a second time) to go ahead and get vaccinated for it, unless they had lab confirmation. Huh? Is the CDC Purposely Misinforming the Public to Sell More Vaccines?Conflicts of interest are rampant in the vaccination infrastructure. The same people who are regulating and promoting vaccines are also evaluating vaccine safety. For instance, Dr. Paul Offit of the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia earned at least $29 million as part of a $182-million sale by the hospital of its worldwide royalty interest in the Merck Rotateq vaccine. He also formerly sat on the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to help create the market for rotavirus vaccine This type of conflict of interest has been going on for some time. In August 1999, the Committee on Government Reform initiated an investigation into Federal vaccine policy. During the investigation the Committee extensively reviewed financial disclosure forms and related documents and interviewed key officials from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the CDC. It was revealed that many individuals on two key advisory committees had financial ties to pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines. These individuals were even granted waivers allowing them to fully participate in discussions about vaccine licensing and recommendations for children, despite the fact that federal law states members of advisory committees are required to disclose such ties and recuse themselves from such discussions and decisions. Further, the investigation revealed that the FDA's and CDC's conflict of interest rules were not strongly enforced while the rules themselves were weak. Specific problems noted by the Committee included: And, when the FDA and CDC approved the controversial rotavirus vaccine in 1998 and 1999, the Committee's report said: Given their questionable history, can the CDC really be trusted, even today? Do you think that much has changed in just one decade? Do you think it's a swine flu hoax? Are We Purposely Being Misled? Is the H1N1 Vaccine Really Safe?
Get This! - According to a separate CBS News report, the U.S. government is now funding newer unprecedented technologies to speed up vaccine production, including one that involves growing the virus inside animal cells and another that involves flu proteins grown inside insect cells. The risks of these, and the current fast-tracked swine flu vaccine, are truly unknown at this time. NO Incentive for the CDC or Vaccine Manufacturers to Care About SafetyYou may think that the CDC and the vaccine manufacturers must be concerned about safety! If they released a dangerous vaccine and promoted it to the American public, imagine the lawsuits they would face. This is actually no longer reality as the U.S. government has granted vaccine makers total legal immunity from any lawsuits that result from the new swine flu vaccine. In fact, drug manufacturers got a major boost in protection and were granted unprecedented powers to experiment on the population with the passing of the 2006 Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (the PREP Act). This law allows the DHHS Secretary to invoke almost complete immunity from liability for manufacturers of vaccines and drugs used to combat a declared public health emergency, to which the "swine flu pandemic" qualifies. The PREP Act removes your right to a trial jury unless you can provide clear evidence of willful misconduct that resulted in death or serious physical injury. But that's not all. First you must apply to the DHHS Secretary for permission to sue and be granted permission. The most problematic aspect of the PREP Act is that it removes all financial incentive to make a safe product. In fact, vaccine makers now have a negative incentive to test it for safety, because if they are aware of problems, then they could potentially be held liable for willful misconduct! As long as they can prove that "they didn't know of any problem", they will not be held liable for damages. Hence it's in their best interest to know as little as possible about the adverse reactions it might cause. It seems unimaginable, but you and your children are now being enlisted as an unpaid human trial subjects for experimental, fast-tracked vaccines like the swine flu vaccine. The possibility of a swine flu hoax is pretty darn evident, when you know all the facts. Most Vaccines Will Come Too LateA new study just released by Purdue University researchers and published in the journal Eurosurveillance, is of great interest to the general public. The researchers found that at this point in time any vaccinations that are given in the US will likely have little effect on the number of infections. The researchers state: "The model predicts that there will be a significant wave in autumn, with 63% of the population being infected, and that this wave will peak so early that the planned CDC vaccination campaign will likely not have a large effect on the total number of people ultimately infected by the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus." In other words, infections are predicted to peak in late October (already OVER!) and by the end of the year it's estimated that 63% of the U.S. population will have been infected with H1N1 swine flu. What does this mean? By the end of the year the majority of the U.S. population will have likely acquired a natural immunity to the swine flu. Natural immunity is what you gain when you recover from influenza and natural immunity is what is protecting older Americans, who have recovered from exposure to H1N1 strains of influenza in the past and are therefore less susceptible today. This new revelation, coupled with CBS News' finding that swine flu cases are already being greatly overestimated, and the fact that vaccines do not offer long-term immunity anyway, and the questionable motives behind CDC's massive vaccination campaign, puts an entirely different slant on the swine flu "epidemic!" Is the swine flu hoax? Is the hype just a cover up to get more people to take the vaccine? Evidence certainly seems to point in that direction.
This all seems to be a great big smoke screen to sell more swine flu vaccines and get rid of the debt that the government has spent on the vaccine. Without pressure for everyone to get the vaccine, the government faces losing millions, (if not billions), of dollars. How do they get rid of the debt? By pressuring the general public to get vaccinated and by exaggerating the situation! A fine case for a swine flu hoax! If you are still concerned about the swine flu, you should know that it is relatively easy to improve your immune response to fight this infection if this is truly a swine flu pandemic. If it's a swine flu hoax, it never hurts to have better immunity anyway. If 99.9% of people are not having any serious complications from H1N1, it would seem perfectly rational to believe that minor lifestyle changes could have dramatic effects on fighting any infection; none of which involve taking potentially dangerous and scientifically unproven vaccines. Natural Ways to Boost Immunity Get More Facts from Dr. Mercola and Swine Flu Updates from Dr. Mercola FDA and FTC Threatens Holistic Advisor, Dr. WeilTo top this all off, you wont believe what happened to my long time favorite doctor, Dr. Andrew Weil, whom we all know, respect, and trust. The FDA and FTC have threatened Dr. Weil over immune-boosting supplements for H1N1 swine flu! (NaturalNews) In working to protect the business interests of vaccine manufactures, both the FDA and FTC have declared all-out war against any products that might offer consumers options other than vaccines. This week, that war against natural remedies reached the shores of Dr. Andrew Weil, who is perhaps the best-known alternative medicine doctor in America. In an intimidating, threatening letter jointly issued by the FTC and the FDA, these rogue government agencies threatened Dr. Weil with criminal prosecution for making true statements about his immune-boosting formula such as, "Astragalus is used traditionally to ward off colds and flu, and has demonstrated both antiviral and immune-boosting effects in scientific investigation." This statement, although scientifically valid and true, is a threat to the profits of the vaccine industry, and so Dr. Weil's company is being targeted by the FTC / FDA vaccine racket tag-team for termination. You can review the FTC threats against Dr. Weil on the FTC's own website! FDA and FTC Challenge Dr. Weil Some of the threats leveled against Dr. Weil by the FTC include: Safeguarding Against Swine Flu NaturallyThe only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation of the virus. While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms, and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps can be practiced instead.
