Nor does it mean flesh eating zombies wandering the streets feeding on the living. All a pandemic means is that a new infectious disease is spreading throughout the world. I suspect you have likely been alarmed by the media&#8217;s coverage of the swine flu scare. It has a noticeable subplot &#8211; preparing you for draconian measures to combat a future pandemic as well as forcing you to accept the idea of mandatory vaccinations. Regular swine flu is a contagious respiratory disease, caused by a type-A influenza virus that affects pigs. The current strain, A(HINI), is a new variation of an HINI virus, which causes seasonal flu outbreaks in humans, that also contains genetic material of bird and pig versions of the flu. Interestingly enough, this version has never before been<br \/>\nseen in neither human nor animal, which I will discuss a bit later. This does sound bad. But not so fast. There are a few reasons to not rush to conclusions that this is the deadly pandemic we&#8217;ve been told would occur in the near future<br \/>\n(as if anyone could predict it without having some sort of inside knowledge). As of May 16, 2009, 34 countries have officially reported 8,451 eases of influenza A(HINI) infection and only 65 deaths in the ENTIRE world from this illness. At this time 70 of the deaths are from people born in Mexico. Why Mexico? Well overcrowding, poor nutrition and overall poor immunity, all of which are indigenous to Mexico will radically increase your risk of death from<br \/>\nalmost any infection. It is important to note that nearly all suspected new cases have been reported as mild. Preliminary scientific evidence is also pointing out that this virus is NOT as potent as initially thought.  Personally, I am highly skeptical. It simply doesn&#8217;t add up to a real pandemic. But it does raise serious questions about where this brand new, never before seen virus came from, especially since it cannot be contracted from eating pork products, and has never before been seen in pigs, and contains traits from the bird flu &#8211; and which, so far, only<br \/>\nseems to respond to Tamiflu. Please realize that Tamiflu is NOT a safe drug. Serious side effects include convulsions, delirium or delusions, and 14 deaths in children and teens as a result of neuropsychiatrie problems and brain infections. Japan actually banned Tamiflu for children in 2007. When Tamiflu is used as directed (twice daily for 5<br \/>\ndays) it can ONLY reduce the duration of your influenza symptoms by 1 to 1 Vi days, according to the official data.<br \/>\nWhy on earth would anyone want to take a drug that has a chance of killing you, was banned in Japan, is loaded with side effects that mimic the flu itself, costs over $100, and AT BEST can only provide 36 hours of SYMPTOM relief Just doesn&#8217;t make any sense. Please recognize that there is serious revenue in Tamiflu. The Financial Times reports that governments around the world have previously stockpiled 220 million doses in preparation for a pandemic that has yet to appear. The cost of this preparation is $7 billion dollars. But let me tell you, getting vaccinated now would not<br \/>\nonly offer no protection and potentially cause great harm, it would most likely be loaded with toxic mercury which is used as a preservative in most flu vaccines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pandemic does not necessarily mean what you think it does, it is NOT black-plague carts being hauled through the streets piled high with dead bodies.
