more fear mongering to get people to submit to the needle. A swine flu "vaccine" was pushed by the media and executive branch in the 70's in America to "protect" us from the swine flu. The vaccine permanently injured or killed hundreds of people.
Don't fall for this garbage. Keep your immune system up with a good plant diet, plenty of sunshine, and exercise. Time and time again these "vaccines" issued by the medical establishment fix one problem and give you two or three new ones.
i dont know why i find it funny but... to think of solders go to war and then come back home to be killed of the flu is funny. its like some funny karma
A year on and I don't see the corpes in the street. Those CEO's of companies that make antibacterial handwash and vaccines have some rather niffty new sports cars though.
I was just thinking we need some Swine flu news channel, that people could upload, or someone that can upload news to every day, keeping us up with what the news is saying.
Anyway, no worries, I'll continue looking into it.
I completely agree, swine flu is not a big deal at all right now. And for americans who usually eat alot of bread, we arent as suseptable. I guess the only cause for concern would be the small chance that it could mutate into something deadly, like the spanish flu. Of course, this mutation is highly unlikely, so theres nothing to worry about right now i completely agree.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sure tens of thousands of people die of flu every year, but those are almost all elderly or physically weak/vulnerable people. This virus has demonstrated it can be fatal to healthy young people, and it can transmit from human to human. So there is in fact some cause for concern, if not hysteria.
With the incredibly low number of people that have died, the possibility of death being caused by an underlying illness is far from ruled out. Also, most deaths occurred in Mexico. Need I say more?
Oh, and normal seasonal flu is airborne as well, champ.
i heard tamiflu doesn't work on most normal flus but actually works on this swine flu (just what i heard though, lol).
Anyways, thx for this vid. I was kinda a little scared at first about swine flu cus I'm Hispanic and I heard that some folks in Mexico died so I was hoping it wasn't some genetic thing or whatever. Guess I'm alright then. Haven't gotten sick yet and I generally eat whole wheat bread on a regular basis so I guess I ain't got problems with gluten. *phew*
Swine flu is bullshit, the media are completley hyping it up and also 35,000 people die from normal flu anyway, also 21 people have died from "swine flu" even though someone dies like every 3 seconds and 1 person had lukemia 4 were pregnant and 9 were over 60, the other 7 were healthy.
The thing is why is the media hyping up this swine flu, there has to be a reason , remember the media is controlled and after all we are being attacked every week with chemtrails, my opinion is that we are being set up for somthing that has relation to some killer disease for the suspected de-population agenda, is the media covering up more importent issues like china dumping the doller or is it justification for the big pharma to get rid of billions of £$s worth of old stock tamiflu drugs..
I am skeptical of the "unverified" blogger information at 2:50. I am unaware of the educational background of the blogger, but two particular claims seem to directly contradict what I have learned about H1N1 influenza in medical school.
1. The CDC and WHO have verified that H1N1 influenza is susceptible to Tamiflu.
2. I have never seen any evidence that gluten intolerance is related to influenza incidence, morbidity or mortality.
Stef, please don't give a voice to an "unverified" rant...
The trouble is,at what point do you decide to ignore the MSM reports? Their so called 'verified reports' from WHO/BMA experts always seem to be discovered as inflated at a later date. Yet we get concerned about a blogger who may not have iron clad verifiable facts, sure, but provides details that are at the very least, no more worse than the MSM's. If the MSM's fear mongering turns out to be true, what will you say of their journalistic integrity for finding verifiable truth?.. :)
I agree with you. Health officials are alarming people because this is in fact a new mutated strain of virus that is newly exposed to the population, therefore unpredictable. They are also telling people to not panic and treat it with the same precautions as the "regular" influenza.
People themselves just have the tendency hysterical with new information, not so much the cause of outside influences.
panic the people to get their minds off the real issues, like for instance, the economy, the wars or the bankrupting of america.. ho hum, what next? another false flag op is soon to follow.
I felt the same way about the MSM covering this FLU. Its the FLU! When the MSM covers a story 24/7 & nothing else, I can't pay attention. Find the real story urself. Last week the Gov. was toying w/ a 747 over Manhatten! Were not Sheep, fight the MSM & the Government! Stop them trying to control our lives.LIVE, REPSPECT, Be HONEST to one another. OUR GOV. doesn't do that. Its time to Impeach them all & the earth will be mostly at peace if the US Gov. is stopped. I luv the USA but not our GOV.
Yes Vegnagun ur right about Corporations. The Gov. is in bed w/ with big Corp. People trust Corp. w/ their retirerment. Which brings me back to Honesty. Big companies will buy honestest companies just 4 there retierment plan & then wipe it out. YT has the potential power to expose the Gov. coruption, which can b there Achilles' heel.
The WHO organisation probably engineered the desease. Look at their logo, they're aligned with the UN, need I say more to those who know? What has the WHO ever done besides spread fear and distract the masses from more important issues. Flues kill, especially flues made in a lab through genetic splicing. The UN is all about population and resource control on behalf of the elite. The media is taking us for a ride again so line up for the mind fuck.
Its not the hysteria of the comman man I'm worried about. The government has unlimited power due to acts passed during 911 for anthrax epidemics.
Now that there is a flu they can enact quarantines with violations of posse commetatus as well. This is serious. We don't have to fear the individual hysteria, we have to fear the government hysteria!
Many states can enact quarantines with little or no legislation due to emergency procedures. Please look into the laws in each state!!!
You make a good point there.. However, to justify such draconian measures the population would have to see a significant death toll first, whether manufactured by the MSM or not.. imho.. :)
This is just an experiment by the NWO to see how the world will cope economically and socially against a pandemic. Its the trial run getting you ready for the genetically altered version. .
1 Cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
2 Wash your hand after ever social interaction paying for things where you exchange money or cards, shake hand etc: ( use moist wipes and carry them with you)
3 avoid touching your mouth eyes or nose.
4 Make socially unacceptable for anyone to break rule one.. (Tell them off and if you witness a telling off back that person up if they need support )
You didn't get infected by the media hysteria, but I believe you went overboard in your attempt to put it into perspective. The fallacy: it's not about how many people have died, it's about how many people will die. This flu has a high potential for becoming an epidemic. If it does, we're in deep trouble. If it doesn't, we're fine. Just because we haven't been hit in a while doesn't mean we can let down our guard. It's precisely when we all laugh it off as you have that it will get us.
Relax? I'm all about the excitement! This is like an action movie.
(in an awesome deep voice) Our doctors and scientists are in a race against time to stop the evil disease before it gets out of hand. Will our heroes stop the disease, or will the dastardly flu reign death upon the innocents? Stay tuned and find out!
In all honesty though, I agree it isn't something we should panic about. Let's not let our guard down either.
Here's a falsifiability conundrum: let's say the flu doesn't go anywhere and dies off within a week. You can say "see? it was nothing to worry about" and I can say "If we hadn't reacted like we did, we wouldn't have gotten it under control." Neither claim is falsifiable. We will never know if the reaction was justified. Alternate scenario: we ignore disease outbreaks because it's just media hype. Eventually we are guarenteed to get hit. My point: don't ignore the boy who cries wolf.
I disagree. He's rational, so he will call bullshit when he see's it. His debate with howtheworldworks wasn't about religion at all, it was all politics.. And yet he pwnd.
Yep. Not so sure any rational human being would want to debate that with a deluted insane idiot like htww. Or any other conservative for that mather..
Just because the last flu didnt do much, dosnt mean that this one wont, the WHO has put up the rating of Swine Flu to catagory 5 now.
and ur kinda relying on the fact that the media says this is bad so u shud instantly think the oposite. i know the media does its part to overplay things but listen to the experts liek the WHO.
the phrase better safe than sorry comes to mind when im thinking of this.
i dont particually know the credability of WHO, i was going on a presumtion because they are the experts. But that dosnt detract from the fact that i dont think its ever a good idea to downplay an event like this.
im sure back in 1918 no-body evber thought the spanish flu would kill as many as it did.. i think it is estimated between 30-100 million people.
I don't know if you're being sarcastic, however I do have a question. If the flu has already spread to several countries around the world and it spreads from person to person, how is locking down Mexico going to help?
The problem here is that pandemic influenza is significantly more dangerous and unpredictable than seasonal influenza. The 1918 pandemic killed around 50 million people. With today's population would be 350 million or worse, especially with global travel.
"Those with Irish ancestry because of the use of potatoes for starch intake"
- I am NO evolutionary biologist, but I think 500 years (potato introduced to Europe in 1536) are not enough to generate an genetic trait throughout such a large population (i.e. the Irish).
No that is not possible :) Further more, we all eat wheat just as much as everyone else, the whole spud thing is a stereotype from the old days though we do still eat a lot of potatoes. As we speak, I am opening up a loaf of "Irish Pride" to make a sandwich. Oooh ta chi ta cha leprechauns! XD
Yes, U have a greater chance of winning the lottery, drowning in your shower, or getting locked in the trunk of your car & taken 2 the forest 4 ransom than U have of dying of these over inflated diseases. But go ahead sit on your sofa until the scare wears off &the media will come up with another crisis 2 hide from. Remember killer bees that were supposedly going 2 wipe out all of America in the '60's? And Anthrax just after 9/11? Fear is profitable for the media.....the media is the crisis.
Great video. Completely agree. This is mainly a new flu with no evidence so far of being significantly worst from the common flu. And news about this are nothing more but scare mongering.
As a side note, and not very relevant for the main point of the video.
Potato came from South America.
No part of traditional diet of Irish, less than 500 years there, not enough to make a significant change on the metabolic and enzymatic absorption/processing of food.
The only time when this "swine" flu should become a worry is when it reassorts it's genome with a virus of high pathogenicity and passes on it's human to human transmission traits...
The thing we got to worry about more than anything else is the sheepdog government herding the sheep into more things that are completely against the sheep's interests. This swine flu certainly has the fear potency to do that.
jesus stef, waaaay too many metaphors. If I didn't already agree with your views I could never take you seriously with all those ridiculous metaphors. I mean it's fine to use some, but not every situation needs to be compared to something else..
they just try and scare you to buy TamiFlu, and because they don't want to kill ALL of their customers (Yet) they don't make it as strong as they could, but it's like trying to scare someone into buying your product, God damn, I wish I could scare people into buying my shit, lol and then, scare them again next year, and sell it again.....
it's THE Perfect Marketing strategy, that only they can really pull off, like you couldn't scare people into buying Bubble Gum, u could try I guess.
I wonder how much money Bush & Obama are making with their TamiFlu stockholdings (Which they have) boy I bet they are making ALOT of money, considering he requested 1.8 Billion in funding to fight the Swine Flu... but no, I guess, he's not benefiting...(A large portion of that 1.8 Billion will be spent on TamiFlu. (His stock!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Rumsfeld is the chairman of the company that produces TamiFlu, what another FUCKING INSANE "Coincidence" everything is just a coincidence with these people, that believe in the "American Dream" stupid sheep
I liked how the $200 million peter reid spent to stock pile tamiflu to protect us from bird flu was announced as a compatible treatment for the dreaded new strain... im guessing the expiry date is up soon better get some use of it aye
Thank you for your level headed perspective. I have watched you enough to have remained calm and observant. I mused that as long as alan greenspan dick cheney the bush girls the obama girls donald rumsfield ben bernake henry kissenger bill oreilly etc were alive and kickin that this was a false flag situation or an even more clever eugenics campaighn. I lked the cactus of fear and the buzzing laser bee analogy. Enjoy your weekend!!
I disagree with your analysis but agree with the conclusion. There probably won't be a large scale catastrophe, but I think it's directly related to how we overhype and over prepare. When we start to ignore this kind of thing we will see the real disasters happening.
Your genes can be switched on and off. Read "The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles by Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D. " We have been mind-controlled with this concept of genetic-determinism. It's the other way round: Mind over matter. By practicing meditation and eating biological food in a conscious manner most diseases can be healed, especially chronic diseases - even cancer. Watch "Healing cancer from Inside Out by Mike Anderson" on Veoh.
Ideas or mind images change nothing, will only push further our fragmentation as human beings, we need a mutation in our conciusness, see how everything exists only because everything else alos exists......
It's been only a week. We have to worry about exponential growth. If you work in healthcare you worry about your coworkers coming down with flu. The problem is that none of us have resistance. Can our health service cope? I know that we will all end up doing a lot of overtime, in a stressful job looking after our patients. we also have to worry about the virus changing now it's entered the flu laboratory that is Asia. There is no need to panic, but remember the scouts motto.
Hey. Someone said they didn't think you had a sense of humor. I watched your talk at that "thing" you were at in recent vids and this one. You have a GREAT sense of humor. You just don't do it a lot because it would diminish your points in the eyes of those who don't know how to separate the points from the delivery style. good vid!

4. Drink plenty of (non-alcoholic) fluids.
5. Eat chicken soup.
7. Refuse all attempts of your boss, supervisor etc to get you to go back to work (they will try anything) for at least six days.
You WILL beat it.

wow, u really think we can trust the WHO?! WHO did exactly the same when bird flu came out
sollycardy98 2 years ago
the phrase better safe than sorry comes to mind when im thinking of this.
i dont particually know the credability of WHO, i was going on a presumtion because they are the experts. But that dosnt detract from the fact that i dont think its ever a good idea to downplay an event like this.
im sure back in 1918 no-body evber thought the spanish flu would kill as many as it did.. i think it is estimated between 30-100 million people.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, however I do have a question. If the flu has already spread to several countries around the world and it spreads from person to person, how is locking down Mexico going to help?

Always use any excuse to blame Mexicans. Them short brown people are trouble.

Did you actually watch the video? Did you see that this is very likely a lot of hype? Or are you more motivated by a dislike of Mexicans?

If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.

The problem here is that pandemic influenza is significantly more dangerous and unpredictable than seasonal influenza. The 1918 pandemic killed around 50 million people. With today's population would be 350 million or worse, especially with global travel.

"Those with Irish ancestry because of the use of potatoes for starch intake"
- I am NO evolutionary biologist, but I think 500 years (potato introduced to Europe in 1536) are not enough to generate an genetic trait throughout such a large population (i.e. the Irish).
Does anyone know if that is at all possible?
Alhoshka 2 years ago
No that is not possible :) Further more, we all eat wheat just as much as everyone else, the whole spud thing is a stereotype from the old days though we do still eat a lot of potatoes. As we speak, I am opening up a loaf of "Irish Pride" to make a sandwich. Oooh ta chi ta cha leprechauns! XD

Yes, U have a greater chance of winning the lottery, drowning in your shower, or getting locked in the trunk of your car & taken 2 the forest 4 ransom than U have of dying of these over inflated diseases. But go ahead sit on your sofa until the scare wears off &the media will come up with another crisis 2 hide from. Remember killer bees that were supposedly going 2 wipe out all of America in the '60's? And Anthrax just after 9/11? Fear is profitable for the media.....the media is the crisis.

Great video. Completely agree. This is mainly a new flu with no evidence so far of being significantly worst from the common flu. And news about this are nothing more but scare mongering.
As a side note, and not very relevant for the main point of the video.
Potato came from South America.
No part of traditional diet of Irish, less than 500 years there, not enough to make a significant change on the metabolic and enzymatic absorption/processing of food.

The only time when this "swine" flu should become a worry is when it reassorts it's genome with a virus of high pathogenicity and passes on it's human to human transmission traits...

The thing we got to worry about more than anything else is the sheepdog government herding the sheep into more things that are completely against the sheep's interests. This swine flu certainly has the fear potency to do that.

TamiFlu is one of the only companies in the world, that can be guaranteed sales, whenever it's needed.. think about that for a minute....
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
they just try and scare you to buy TamiFlu, and because they don't want to kill ALL of their customers (Yet) they don't make it as strong as they could, but it's like trying to scare someone into buying your product, God damn, I wish I could scare people into buying my shit, lol and then, scare them again next year, and sell it again.....
it's THE Perfect Marketing strategy, that only they can really pull off, like you couldn't scare people into buying Bubble Gum, u could try I guess.

I wonder how much money Bush & Obama are making with their TamiFlu stockholdings (Which they have) boy I bet they are making ALOT of money, considering he requested 1.8 Billion in funding to fight the Swine Flu... but no, I guess, he's not benefiting...(A large portion of that 1.8 Billion will be spent on TamiFlu. (His stock!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I liked how the $200 million peter reid spent to stock pile tamiflu to protect us from bird flu was announced as a compatible treatment for the dreaded new strain... im guessing the expiry date is up soon better get some use of it aye

Thank you for your level headed perspective. I have watched you enough to have remained calm and observant.

I disagree with your analysis but agree with the conclusion. There probably won't be a large scale catastrophe, but I think it's directly related to how we overhype and over prepare. When we start to ignore this kind of thing we will see the real disasters happening.

Your genes can be switched on and off. Read "The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles by Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D. " We have been mind-controlled with this concept of genetic-determinism. It's the other way round: Mind over matter. By practicing meditation and eating biological food in a conscious manner most diseases can be healed, especially chronic diseases - even cancer. Watch "Healing cancer from Inside Out by Mike Anderson" on Veoh.

It's been only a week. We have to worry about exponential growth. If you work in healthcare you worry about your coworkers coming down with flu. The problem is that none of us have resistance. Can our health service cope? I know that we will all end up doing a lot of overtime, in a stressful job looking after our patients. we also have to worry about the virus changing now it's entered the flu laboratory that is Asia. There is no need to panic, but remember the scouts motto.

Hey. Someone said they didn't think you had a sense of humor. I watched your talk at that "thing" you were at in recent vids and this one. You have a GREAT sense of humor. You just don't do it a lot because it would diminish your points in the eyes of those who don't know how to separate the points from the delivery style. good vid!
