My father forwarded this to me this morning, and I couldn't agree more:

Quote:

Those filthy swine... The swine flu "epidemic" is only a few days old, and Big Pharma is already plotting to make a fortune.

European drug maker Roche announced it was scaling up production of Tamiflu, giving a boost to its stock price and sending millions into the Roche coffers. GlaxoSmithKline, which makes the anti-flu drug Relenza, is also seeing its stock price climb, as investors hope this swine flu is the biggest thing since the bubonic plague.

There's only one problem here – it's not going to happen. You read the Daily Dose because I always give you the straight scoop, and because I'm not afraid to tell you when the mainstream has it wrong.

And they have it wrong on swine flu. It won't be an epidemic – it'll barely even be a ripple. I've run medical clinics in Africa – I know what an epidemic looks like.

And this isn't it.

The media is blowing swine flu out of proportion so it can feed its 24-hour news cycle – the same media, mind you, that had us convinced that avian flu was going to destroy the planet a few years ago.

But here are the facts about swine flu – it has affected so few people in America that it's hardly worth discussing. There are 64 confirmed cases in America as I'm writing this – not 6,000 or even 600. There are 64.

Of course, the media is fixated on the 100 or so people who have died in Mexico from the swine flu. But let me clue you into something that no one seems to be discussing – health care in Mexico is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I know – I've been there more times than I can count.

Disease spreads rapidly through Mexico because large areas of the country lack clean water and basic sanitation. Seeing a doctor – let alone a qualified doctor – is a luxury unavailable to most of the population. Of course the flu is killing people in Mexico – so are a lot of other diseases that are successfully treated in America. People in Mexico still die from diarrhea, for Pete's sake!

Yes, they have apparently had some cases of bad swine flu in Mexico. They've had lots of dengue fever and chagas, too, but you don't need to stay up at night worrying about it. Beating the swine flu isn't any different from beating the regular flu. Wash your hands. Avoid large crowds if you can. Get plenty of rest and fluids if you start getting sick.

And don't be afraid to eat pork or any other meat, for that matter, as it's not the pigs who are getting sick. Of course, I'm not recommending you eat Mexican pork – or any food produced in Mexico, for that matter. Hopefully the tainted peppers outbreak of 2008 taught us that. But don't change your diet because of some so-called swine flu epidemic.

It's no epidemic. It's no public health catastrophe. It's good theatre – and nothing more.

Yeah sometimes when I see the media making such a huge deal about crap that surely ISNT, it makes me want laugh and cry for my country all at the same time. What happened to the tough as nails Americans that existed not so long ago who won the great war, who overcame the great depression with hard work and determination?? The Americans who conquered the old west and built a nation of infrastructure?? Now my girl tells me to be careful not to touch anything when I go to wal-mart, "that swine flu is everywhere now" :lol: 64 cases and America is on its heels..... wheres my passport, im moving to Thunderdome.

This is why I do not watch the news. When zombies show up at my house then I will believe it. http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/zombies.asp
All I can say is bring it on, it will be loads of fun!

I like what Michael Savage said about the Bird Flu:
Quote:

"Everything the media does is a hoax. Every day I get up and I hear 'the earth is falling! the earth is falling!' 'bird flu' they're all running with, all of the empty skirts. 'bird flu, bird flu' They're all experts now on epidemiolgy. Bird flu. They don't even know what they're talking about! If I meet a chicken with a cold, you think I'm going to sleep with it? Don't worry about bird flu."
Or something to that effect, I think there was more to it than that, I wonder if I can find the full broadcast online.

All of these things are diversions. It is like a magician - look at this hand, do you see anything here - look here, look at this hand. What is really scary is what they are doing with the other hand that you are not watching. :( :(

Funny thing he is right about that. Another thing wasnt Obama in Mexico about a week before all this flu mess came up? Sounds like a conspiracy to me:D

It seems very stange to me that a single virus can attack and affect swine, birds and humans. I think that someone was playing in a biolab somewhere (Mexico?) and things got seriously out of hand. :eek:

That's not strange. I just came across a good article regarding this flu (unfortunately, it's in Russian - http://botalex.livejournal.com/37131.html), and among other things it explains that pigs are a "staging area" for most flu epidemics before they pass it on to humans. Birds have much more varieties of the flu (having 15 variants of "H" protein and 9 variants of the "N" protein), but they do not pass it on to humans.
