World Health Organisation Admits No Deadly Mutation of H1N1 Swine Flu

The World Health Organization, the UN agency (ir-) responsible for declaring a Phase 6 “PANDEMIC” global alert over what it calls H1N1 Influenza A or Swine Flu, whose chief Dr Margaret Chan has repeatedly warned that while Swine Flu to date had been rather mild, that the emergency declaration was necessary because it “could mutate” aggressively into a deadly pandemic killing millions, now admits well into the flu season in the Northern Hemisphere that H1N1 has apparently not mutated.

Margaret Chan, the head of the World Health Organization, at a meeting with health officials in her native Hong Kong has just stated that the swine flu virus has not yet mutated into a more deadly strain. WHO Director of the Initiative for Vaccine Research, Dr Marie-Paule Kieny reinforced that statement in a press conference September 24 in Geneva when she stated, “we are lucky that the pandemic is moderate in severity that most people experience a mild illness and recover spontaneously.” That means recovery with no vaccination, no Tamiflu or other dangerous ”antiviral” drugs. Just with letting nature take its course.

Last summer, when the WHO decided to declare a global “pandemic emergency” over what it called the H1N1 Influenza A global spread, it also announced in a notice buried among its press releases that most countries had stopped testing ill populations for H1N1, and that WHO therefore simply arbitrarily “assumed” all patients with a stated set of symptoms were automatically H1N1 victims. So the H1N1 pandemic case counts, to quote the WHO “no longer reflect actual disease activity.”

Influenza can do what it wants when it wants. The reason the US was spared from the Swine flu in 1976 was because just before it entered the US, it suddenly mutated to a less virulent strain. President Ford didn’t mind being criticized as a fool for trying to mitigate it—he much preferred that outcome to a hundred thousand dead Americans, which was what was projected by the CDC.

H1N1 has been an oddity so far in many ways. To start with, the world medical community was and is terrified about H5N1 Avian flu, that is by far an undeniably deadly and threatening disease that could unleash an epidemic from hell. But then H1N1 showed up.

So the medical establishment decided to use H1N1 as a “dress rehearsal” for H5N1, mostly to check out all the new changes made to try and defend ourselves from the H5N1 Avian flu.

However, that didn’t mean that H1N1 was entirely frivolous. It did some strange and ominous things, and we have no idea why.

To start with, it emerged in the spring, which for a hundred years was a major warning sign of a severe flu that would reemerge in the second half of the year as a “bad” flu, maybe killing five times as many people as a typical flu.

But it also did other strange things. Like for some reason, it infects and is lot harder on Hispanics than on most Europeans, with the exception of Germans, who had ten times more cases than did the French next door. Go figure.

And then H1N1 seems to be worst on children and young adults. Again, a puzzler, and atypical for influenza.

So it is a half serious dress rehearsal. And maybe in the process we can learn new things about all types of influenza, and maybe come up with some new ways to fight H5N1 when it emerges.

Because right now, even with spending many billions of dollars to get ready, we still know that when H5N1 comes, there won’t be a lot we can do about it for a long time. Lots of people are going to die.
