truth about flu masks

[mannlowe]

The world health organization . The government, the

Department of health and human services ,on down the line {might include Dept. of homeland security} knows there is going to be a pandemic, and are preparing for it. how?,because they are going to cause it. Been doing some research .might be a 3 part series vaccine not sure aimed at the pregnant, the elderly and unemployed for obvious reasons. vaccine contains DNA altering or deadly virus.

Thank You for your video & email regarding the Swine Flu. It's scarey to think we are sending out precautions of going to Mexico but not stopping them from coming to Texas.Shut the borders! IF they get sick there, stay there and get well, get medical help you need then come home.Don't bring it back to the rest of your state. If you plan to go to Mexico, then STAY THERE- you know about the Swine Flu before you go!

In 1918 there was a virus called the "Spanish Flu" an influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1.

This Swine flu is the "Spanish Flu" with a different name. It was given a different name not only for counter-intelligence reasons, but also not to cause panic. Swine Flu is the SAME, it is the H1N1.

On September 16, 2008, the body of Yorkshire landowner Sir Mark Sykes was exhumed to study the RNA of the Spanish flu virus in efforts to understand the genetic structure of modern H5N1 bird flu.

I'm not sure we can come to that conclusion quite yet. Yes, this is an H1N1 Influenza A virus, but many different mutant strains in this classification exist. The typical seasonal flu is also an H1N1 strain (albeit a human virus). According to information being released by the CDC and WHO, this virus is not as virulent (aggresive in terms of how sick it makes people) compared to the Spanish flu and H5N1 Avian flu. Hopefully we won't see the type of catastrpohic impact the Spanish flu had.

Still, this new H1N1 virus is less deadly than the virus involved in the 1918 pandemic. Again, the 1918 pandemic started with a mild stain in the spring, but a deadlier strain is the fall. I predict that this will happen this year too, but the modern world has the means to restrain the flu from spreading.

Thank you Senator Cornyn! Your message here, emailed info, and information on your website is greatly appreciated! To be cautious, but do not panic is certainly the wisest thing for all to do. Best wishes to you and yours :D Jess

It's important to know that there are no pigs with this virus right now, only humans. This is similar to avian flu. I still think they are overreacting but they should close the border since there are 2500 cases in Mexico and that is where it's coming from. They should be quarantined instead of the rest of the world. My kids even had their field trips and games cancelled. A bit premature I think.

The problem with closing the border is that we all know how ineffective that actually is. I do not mean to belittle the work of our Border Patrol, who are doing all they can, but the fact of the matter is that individuals would nonetheless manage to continue crossing the border even if we close it.

Thank you for fillibustering the confirmation of Gov. Sibelius for the Department of Health and Human Services. What a great thing to do, in my American opinion! She is the wrong person for the job. As for the Swine Flu, I hope you're successful in preventing a widespread panic, and encourage people to take charge of their own health by doing what's nutritionally necessary, even as you have begun to do in your video. Thank you for your service to the State of Texas, and to this country.

I appreciate that Senator Cornyn is attempting to keep down the panic and remind people that eating pork will not give anyone Swine Flu.
