"State has first swine flu fatality; Woman, 30, dies in Boston hospital" by Stephen Smith, Globe Staff | June 16, 2009
In many ways, the 30-year-old Boston woman fit the demographics of the hardest-hit victims. She was relatively young, and officials said she had other medical conditions that may have made her more susceptible to complications of the virus.
The woman, whose identity was not disclosed because of patient confidentiality laws, arrived gravely ill at a Boston hospital June 5, spent time in an intensive-care unit, and died there Sunday, according to disease specialists at the Boston Public Health Commission....
The health agency's executive director said a preliminary review showed that the woman had previously sought hospital care, and city disease trackers were investigating whether the woman had underlying health problems that made her more susceptible to complications of the virus, known by the scientific name H1N1.
The city was alerted about the case yesterday morning, and by last night, facts remained sparse. City officials said there was no indication that the woman worked in a school, hospital, or doctor's office, sites where a virus could spread with ease and speed. "This is a reminder flu can be serious," said John Auerbach, the Massachusetts public health commissioner. "We expect that there will be other people who will be seriously ill with H1N1, and, sadly, we do expect that other people will die."
As planned, right?
Disease specialists took great pains yesterday to urge the public to be vigilant for signs of the flu while also not saying anything that would incite panic.
Personally, I'M TIRED of the YO-YOING and EGG-SHELL WALKING, lying government!
The Northeastern United States has been hit especially hard by the virus, baffling disease detectives....
Hmmmmmm!
"For reasons that are not clear, Boston is seeing a tremendous amount of H1N1 activity compared to some other parts of the country," said Dr. Anita Barry, director of the Infectious Disease Bureau at the Boston Public Health Commission....
Oh, I THINK THEY ARE: Someone RELEASED those MAN-MADE GERMS up here
It is one of several mysteries that continue to frame investigations into swine flu, which has migrated from its birthplace in Mexico to 75 other countries around the world.
"The unfortunate news is that it seems to spread faster, at least in school-aged children, than we've been accustomed to seeing," said the new director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Thomas Frieden, who previously served as New York City's health commissioner....
Yeah, let's DECIMATE the YOUTH so the STRENGTH of RESISTANCE is DESTROYED!!!
The virus has proved most troublesome to people with underlying medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, and serious cardiovascular complications. In fact, a review by disease specialists in New York City showed that more than 80 percent of hospitalized swine-flu patients suffered from underlying conditions that made them prime targets for the germ.
That is why the medical history of the 30-year-old Boston woman will prove central to the city's investigation. Did she have serious existing maladies, following the pattern of so many other victims? Or will her death reveal some new fact?
And what will be the MSM and government's cover story?
The answers will help physicians such as Dr. Lauren Smith, medical director of the state Department of Public Health, craft their messages for the public.
Well, THAT is an ominous thing to say, isn't it?
"This has gone on for a little while now, and there's vigilance fatigue that's set in," Smith said. "So we're walking a fine line, reminding people...."

"Kids may get swine flu shots first" by Lauran Neergaard, AP Medical Writer | June 16, 2009
WASHINGTON --Schoolchildren may be first in line for swine flu vaccine this fall -- and might even be able to get the shot right at school.
I do wish America's parents would wake up.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is taking that possible scenario to school superintendents around the country, urging them to spend the summer planning what to do if the government decides it needs their buildings for mass vaccinations.
I don't think there is much IF about it, do you?
"If you think about vaccinating kids, schools are the logical place," Sebelius told The Associated Press Tuesday.
I can't think of a BETTER ARGUMENT for HOME-SCHOOLING than THAT RIGHT THERE!!!
No decision has been made yet on whether and how to vaccinate millions of Americans against the new flu strain that the World Health Organization last week formally dubbed a pandemic, meaning it now is circulating the globe unchecked.
Ooooh, are you scared yet? Better hustle right down for a shot.
But the U.S. is pouring money into development of a vaccine in anticipation of giving at least some people the shots.
Did I just hear some pharmaceutical cash registers ring?
While swine flu for now doesn't seem any more lethal than the regular flu that strikes each winter, scientists fear it may morph into a more dangerous strain....
I'd COUNT ON IT!!!
See: Armageddon Is Now
Companies are on track to provide pilot doses for testing later this summer....
And you know how pilot programs are: they NEVER GO AWAY and ALWAYS DEVELOP into SOMETHING BIGGER!
The last mass vaccination against a different swine flu, in the U.S. in 1976, was marred by reports of a paralyzing side effect -- for a feared outbreak that never happened. So the Food and Drug Administration will closely track vaccine safety, Sebelius said....
Oh, the FDA, huh? What good are they?

And before you reserve your shots, 'murkn, you better consider:
"Baxter Advances to Full-Scale Production of A/H1N1 Vaccine Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX) announced today that it has completed testing and evaluation of the A/H1N1 influenza virus and is now in full-scale production of a commercial A/H1N1 vaccine using its Vero cell culture technology. Baxter received an A/H1N1 strain from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center] in early May and is diligently working to deliver a pandemic vaccine for use as early as July.
"Baxter is, of course, the same company that sent out a vaccine test kit with live bird flu virus in it! And the last time there was a mass vaccination program for swine flu back in 1976, the vaccine killed 50 times as many people as the flu did, and left many more with permanent neurological damage. So you will understand if I behave rudely to anyone pointing a needle at me" -- Wake the Flock Up
I'm RIGHT WITH YOU, Mike!!!
"Novartis says won't give poor free H1N1 vaccines-FT "If you want to make production sustainable, you have to create financial incentives," the FT quoted Novartis Chief Executive Daniel Vasella as saying in an early edition of Monday's paper.
"http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=NVS&annual
Folks, take a good look at this income statement. Does this look like a company so financially tight that it can't afford to donate some vaccine to the poorest of the poor countries? These folks have raked in $42,584,000,000 as of 31 December 2008.
And, as reported here:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=NVS
Dr. Vasella, your compensation from NOVARTIS as Chairman and CEO was 2.78 million dollars last year."
