H1N1 (SWINE) FLU ALERT!! - Fears early drug use could cause flu resistance!!!!

From BBC - Video: "As the government moves to increase its stockpiles of Tamiflu to combat a potential flu pandemic, Susan Watts reports on anxieties that early and incorrect use of the drug could lead to resistant viruses."

From me --- This FIRST wave of the H1N1 virus is not as lethal as was first expected, BUT, this is only the first wave. As with ALL flu strains, once the strain gets moving from human to human, it mutates with each new host it grows in. Many are beginning to think that we are safe; that we can catch it and get the Tamiflu to get rid of it... or take the Tamiflu early to prevent getting it, with no consequenses. THIS IS SOOOO WRONG!!! If we abuse the use of the antiviral medications, we will create a resistance to the meds within the virus itself!

All it will take is for one person who HAS taken Tamiflu or Relenza "without" actually having the flu, to still catch it; although the flu virus will be weakened by the anitviral med, and will not affect that person badly, the virus will mutate and become resistant to the medication. Because this flu is a human variation, it will pass to the next unsuspecting person with the resistance factor within the virus itself, and that person will pass it on, etc., etc... We will then have a much stronger, mutated form of this flu spreading that Tamiflu and Relenza will have no effect on.

We must NOT try to take this medication if we do NOT have the flu! We just have to be as careful as we possibly can about being sanitary by following all the guidelines about cleanliness of hands.

- Carry a small bottle of gel hand sanitizer with us, and USE IT!..
- Every time we have to touch a doorknob, handle, wall, shopping cart; anything someone else may have touched before us, USE IT!..

When I have to go out, I wash my hands with the sanitizer after touching anything public. When I get back home, I wash my hands again before I touch my own doorknobs to enter my home. If someone comes to my home, I wash my doorknobs and anything they may have touched with their hands - after they leave so I am not offending anyone.




I am not paraniod, or freaked out over this, but damn! I am not playing either! This flu is not to played with! I am one of those who have a pre-existing condition that ANY strain of flu activates. I also have 2 very close neighbors that are quite old, and one who's health is feeble, so I have to be careful that I am not bringing any viruses near them.

We HAVE to not only think of our own selves when using our gel sanitizer; we have to think about our neighbors, room-mates, and family.

Just because we may not have a case of this flu in our own town doesn't mean it's not brewing and being spread in our town by those passing through.

REMEMBER... The only reason we, outside of Mexico, do not have the same, high death rate from this flu is because our victims have been given the antiviral medications in time. THIS FLU IS KILLING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT HAD THE THE ANTIVIRAL MEDICATIONS ADMINISTERED IN TIME!

Don't bother. Before you take this stuff, I would recommend that you check out the ingredients and side effects. You should also be aware that its effects persist not only within the body, but also within the environment.

This is a scam that will make people sick and ensure that the products sharholders (also worth investigating) will fill their pockets. All based on fear and a strain of influenza that defies nature (a possible bioweapon).

You are better of watching what you eat very carefully

Tamiflu and Relenza are not the ones to fear... They ARE antiviral medications, and they do work, AS LONG as they have not been abused and the virus is resistant.

What we DO have to fear is the vaccine! They first have been saying they will not have a vaccine ready till early fall, but are now saying they have stepped it up, and it may be ready before then.

I do believe this is a bio weapon, and that the coming vaccine is also a part of that; like a booster to it.

"I do believe this is a bio weapon, and that the coming vaccine is also a part of that; like a booster to it"

Correct and remeber it was Baxter that caught in the Czech with the dead ferrets, now they have the contract for the Vaccines, hmm!

[Ysalys]

.....Also, not long after Baxter international released their vaccines with the fully LIVE culture to several countries, we had a trucker here in the US that admitted he was carrying the flu virus for the gov. He was being paid, I think it was, around $5,000 per trip, and making 3 trips/day.  They inoculated him to protect him and his family FROM his load.... Then, within 2 or 3 weeks we suddenly had this swine flu outbreak.... NO VACCINE FOR ME!!!!!

omg thats because the bigs stop eating pigs america !! and kill them all

see the islam make the pigs haram for eat and for live with them and see what the usefull !! thats sucks i hate you pigs

[HairForShortHair]

I wish swine flu wouldve stayed in mexico instead of becoming a pandemic :( x

[gasttheplast]

spreading hate? you want people to die !

how to you work four ?

[Galacticmaster]

and to be honest, there needs to be a population limit because i dont like the idea of abusive conspiracists like you spreading hate and violence around, so im afraid you can't live or give birth on this planet -

p.s. sorry humanities future depends on clear thinkers and yes a new world order so that people can get free medicine and good jobs

[Galacticmaster]

im really on about theres no more resources to support a larger population,

any more people and with current technologies as they are, people wont be able to live a good life, the planet can only support so many people living on it and thats fact

[gasttheplast]

ME ETHER.

[gasttheplast]

So what's your point. We can fit the hole world in Australia alone, do the math. The world population 6.5 billion by 7,686,850 square km of Australia you will find that there is room for the hole world to live and farm in Australia alone!

p.s. To your home work. Laid common sense be your guide. One's again don't believe main stream.  WATER SHORTAGES HELLO THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS DRY?

[gasttheplast]

so!

[Galacticmaster]

sorry but look at countries like china, india countries with huge populations and you will see a lack of room for new housing

there is already water shortages and food shortages around the world, more population will mean that some people will go without yet again increasing poverty

[lilnateg]

ummmmm the current pop is more like 6.5 billion
