Swine flu did kill 18,000 people, and there were pregnant women in a Houston hospital who were in comas. A friend of mine is a nurse there. She said it was really bad for the people who got it. I didn’t know about these murders, though. So much corruption!!!!!!!!!!!
What I hate is the hype....
Crisis Capitalism at its worst. YOU ARE ALL GONNA DIE!
Send five dollars and you will be SAVED!
It just galls me how much taxpayer money all over the world was wasted.
Some really good investigative journalists have exposed the frauds:
Swine flu: BMJ investigation confirms WHO experts in pay of ‘pharma’
And the British Medical Journal published a truly damning report:
Report condemns swine flu experts’ ties to big pharma
Trio of scientists who urged stockpiling had previously been paid, says report
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jun/04/swine-flu-experts-big-pharmaceutical
Now they are trying to shut up and even lock up Jane Burgermeister in Austria, and Len Horowitz and Sherri Kane are being libeled and feel like their lives are in danger.
It just sickens me.

Yes... but the deaths from a “regular” flu season are high too...
Straight from the CDC —
How many people die from seasonal flu each year in the United States?
The number of seasonal influenza-associated (i.e., seasonal flu-related) deaths varies from year to year because flu seasons often fluctuate in length and severity. CDC estimated that about 36,000 people died of seasonal flu-related causes each year, on average, during the 1990s in the United States. This figure includes people dying from complications of seasonal flu. This estimate came from a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which looked at the 1990-91 through the 1998-99 flu seasons [10]. Statistical modeling was used to estimate how many flu-related deaths occurred among people whose underlying cause of death on their death certificate was listed as a respiratory or circulatory disease. During these years, the number of estimated deaths ranged from 17,000 to 52,000.
In 2009, CDC published additional estimates of seasonal flu-related deaths comparing different methods, including the methods used in the 2003 JAMA study. The seasons studied included the 1993-94 through the 2002-03 flu seasons [9]. Results from this study showed that during this time period, 36,171 flu-related deaths occurred per year, on average.
