Was the H1N1 Scare a 'False Pandemic'
TransWorldNews ^ | 1-11-10 | Beverly Hills

Posted on 01/11/2010 12:10:43 PM PST by Indy Pendance

The head of health at the Council of Europe, Wolfgang Wodarg, called the swine flu scare a “false pandemic” orchestrated by drug companies looking pull in large profits from the vaccines.

Saying it was “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century,” Wodark said, “[Swine flu] is just a normal kind of flu. It does not cause a tenth of deaths caused by the classic seasonal flu. The great campaign of panic we have seen provided a golden opportunity for representatives from labs who knew they would hit the jackpot in the case of a pandemic being declared.”

The WHO recently reaffirmed its position, saying that the pandemic is not over despite the number of swine flu deaths being dramatically lower than expected.

“We must make sure people can rely on the analysis and expertise of national and international public institutions,” said Wodark, “The latter are not discredited, because million of people have been vaccinated with products with inherent possible health risks.”

Of course. Only one of many manufactured crises...

H1N1, Bird Flu, “global warming”, “too big to fail” / “I had to abandon free market principles in order to save the free market”, the “hunt” for bin Laden, ...

There will be more soon, their work isn’t done yet.

The pictures posted all over the internet with everyone wearing the surgical masks in Asia helped to hype the hysteria and 0bama is not about to let a good crisis go to waste.

Spent four days in ICU Isolation ... very very sick. BP down to 70/30 ... kidneys failed. Not something I would recommend. All this 3 days after my lover had suddenly past away.

As I understand it, the word "pandemic" only describes the spread of a disease, not how dangerous it is, etc.

By that basic definition, H1N1 absolutely WAS (still is?) a pandemic, as it has spread worldwide.

The problem seems to be (typical) MSM ignorance of what the word "pandemic" means and what it implies.

Oh come on. You can do better than that.

I said my opinion no longer matters...

...then gave it anyway.

I deserved some honorable mention for that didn’t I.

Heh heh heh...

Some guys just don’t get any credit. (Fortunately...) LOL

I’ve been keeping my eyes open for that also. I don’t put anything past these leftist brain trusts.

I’ve been praying I don’t get this strain. Organic, you need to research the microbes associated with it and it’s ability to manifest more diseases due to feces contamination.

Remember the spinach recall, organic orgin? I’m glad you’re here and on the mend. But you have to admit, the gov hyped this flu, 5k vs 50k annual deaths. Did you get a shot? Or were you ‘denied’?

Thanks, I was so distressed about government health care (I couldn't sleep), until I realized, I'm not going to participate in their illegal activities. I'm so much more happy now. I've come to realize, I'm free, and I'm not going to participate and will do all I can to prevent them from ruling me. It's just that simple. We've been prepping since Nov 2008, we're ready. Bring it on liberals, We're Americans, we won't be rulled! We left Europe for that reason, we don't want it, and you're screwed!

Good for you Indy Pendance. I’m glad you came to terms with it. I know this is a stressful time. Don’t let it get to you.

Resistance IS NOT futile.

Anybody remember that we were all going to die with
Y2K Billion upon Billions spent and no matter how many of us said it was fallacy ..... the EXPERTS won.

Throw money at it .... software safeguarding firms made a fortune. Our gubmindt led by moron congresscritters couldn’t throw enough dollars at it ....

Use to use a mainframe and when our analog input devices reached their limit of 999, we penciled in the number 1 onto the console panel to the left of it. People have lost their mind.

After a 31 yr. career in LE and still in the court system although retired, I see these power grabs all the time in local politics and they sure can get dirty and destroy folk’s reputations, families and careers what with the “professional” false witnesses on the prowl.

This in rural Texas. So our little circle of friends have stepped up to the plate, there’s several in JP positions, county commissioner slots, school board but it’s an eye-opener for J.Q. Citizen that just wants to see the right thing done, not sure if it’s worth it.

Power, power, the ability to rule over others, it’s a deadly “disease” and it means everything to some people as we can see.

Oh, I did let it get to me, until I realized, I’m FREE! I was just so wrapped up into the bills and the process and the talk shows and the talk.....

Then I thought, F dems, F them I’m not joining their game. I think more and more people are realizing, we’re a FREE people. Isn’t that key? Americans are Free, and the democrats are trying to take it away. Sorry, IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. You’ll NEVER RULE ME! And F the politicians. F the IRS, F the jails. Come and get me suckers! That’s my opinion. Sorry for all the F bombs, but, it’s relevant, and it’s how we feel. Is our government going to jail 10 or 50 or 100 million people without a fight? Are they going to have ‘soul trains’ to camps? Hah! It’s NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! Sorry dems, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

They ignored the tea parties and they ignored the townhalls. They won’t ignore the vote or the civil disobedience that will happen. (Oh, they’ll try the ACORN thing) Americans will not be ruled. We fought a revolution. It’s a plain and simple fact. The liberals don’t understand freedom, they don’t understand the majority. Liberals, rule us at your political peril...

So be it.

Scandal of the century? Maybe one of them...

H1N1 ranks right up there with Global Warming

And let’s not forget Bird flu from 2-3 years back...

The left learned a very valuable lesson from Y2K and that was that it's a lot easier to milk a panic if it doesn't have a pesky little expiration date attached to it.

I know someone at CDC... I asked him if this was all hype. He obviously thinks their work is very important, but he admitted that fewer people were dying from this flu than from the usual flu that comes every year.

I think they were using this as a test case, like a war game, testing out their procedures for responding to a bio attack.

But really, I think this was quid pro quo to the pharmaceutical companies who were big donors. And I think they are laying the groundwork to be able to legally oblige people to take a vaccine. They generate a panic and then the sheriff accompanies the public health team coming to your jobsite. This isn’t about health but about establishing a legal precedent. I think.

For my part, I’ve never had a flu shot in my life. Most years I don’t get sick at all. Once every few years I might have some flu-like symptoms for a couple of days; you go to bed and drink liquids and in a day or two you’re fine.
