"Second wave of swine flu pandemic begins to hit US; Surge in cases closes schools, strains hospitals" by Rob Stein, Washington Post | September 28, 2009
WASHINGTON - The last mass inoculations against a different swine flu, in 1976, were marred by reports of a rare paralyzing condition, Guillain-Barré syndrome, a sometimes fatal paralysis.
Yes, I REMEMBER!!!!
Other possible side effects could potentially include heart attacks, strokes, seizures, and miscarriages....
Now ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVE!
“Every day, bad things happen to people. When you vaccinate a lot of people in a short period of time, some of those things are going to happen to some people by chance alone,’’ said Dr. Daniel Salmon, a vaccine safety specialist at the Department of Health and Human Services....
What a COLD, HEARTLESS, EVIL PRICK, huh?
Yup, THINGS LIKE THAT ARE JUST GOING TO HAPPEN!!
After months of warnings and frantic preparations, the second wave of the swine flu pandemic is starting to be felt around the country. Doctors, health clinics, hospitals, and schools are reporting rapidly increasing numbers of patients experiencing flu symptoms.
I have kind of HAD IT with the MIXED MESSAGES!!

While most cases so far are mild, and the health care system is handling the load, officials say the number of people seeking treatment for the flu is unprecedented for this time of year.
In Austin, so many parents are rushing their children to Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas with swine flu symptoms that the hospital had to set up tents in the parking lot to cope with the onslaught. In Memphis, the Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center emergency room got so crowded with feverish, miserable youngsters that it had to do the same thing.
And in Manning, S.C., a private school where an 11-year-old girl died shut down after the number of pupils who were out sick with similar symptoms reached nearly a third of the student body. “It just kind of snowballed,’’ said Kim Jordan, a teacher at Laurence Manning Academy, which closed Wednesday after Ashlie Pipkin died and the number of ill students hit 287. “We had several teachers out also.’’

“H1N1 is spreading widely throughout the US,’’ said Thomas Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The CDC reported last week that at least 26 states are now reporting widespread flu activity, up from 21 a week earlier.
Even though some parts of the Southeast that started seeing a surge of cases first now seem to be showing a decline, that could be a temporary reprieve, Frieden said. And other parts of the country are probably just starting to feel the second wave. “Influenza is perhaps the most unpredictable of all infectious diseases,’’ Frieden said.

The pandemic has prompted scattered school closings around the country in recent weeks, including 42 schools that closed in eight states Friday, affecting more than 16,000 students.
Many colleges and universities have been hit particularly hard, forcing some to open separate dorms for sick students. Ninety-one percent of the 267 colleges and universities being surveyed by the American College Health Association are now reporting cases.

Starting the Swine Flu Kid Counter
The government is starting an unprecedented system to track possible side effects as mass flu vaccinations begin next month. The idea is to detect any rare but real problems quickly, and explain the inevitable coincidences that are sure to cause some false alarms.
Why does the term MAD SCIENTISTS seem SO APPROPRIATE?
In just a few months, health authorities hope to vaccinate well over half the population....
On top of routine vaccine tracking, these government-sponsored monitoring projects are planned:
Harvard Medical School scientists are linking large insurance databases that cover up to 50 million people with vaccination registries around the country for real-time checks of whether people see a doctor in the weeks after a flu shot and why. The huge numbers make it possible to quickly compare rates of complaints among the vaccinated and unvaccinated, said the project leader, Dr. Richard Platt, Harvard’s population medicine chief....
Why? So if you DIDN'T GET the SHOT you get a mark?

"Flu threats are tough to pin down; Predicting range, lethality of a virus always challenges public health officials" by Stephen Smith, Globe Staff | September 28, 2009
The number, big and scary, seeped into headlines, onto newscasts - and into the public consciousness: As many as 90,000 Americans could perish this fall from swine flu infections.

Starting the Swine Flu Kid Counter
It appeared prominently in a White House report drafted by some of the nation’s brightest scientific minds, including researchers from Boston. But it was never intended as an actual forecast, and all the evidence so far - a lot of people have reported swine flu symptoms but relatively few have died - suggests the germ won’t claim anywhere near 90,000 lives.
Instead, that number represented one of several scenarios government agencies could use in planning for a resurgent wave of swine flu. The truth is that disease trackers cannot predict precisely how lethal any flu strain will turn out to be.
Obviously, the ALARM felt by the PUBLIC (thank you, blogs) has the MSM doing some serious back-pedaling! Either that, or it is ONCE AGAIN a DECEPTION!
Watch, when the provocation and impetuous to begin the mandatory vaccination campaign will then be a "surprise" to the MSM, too!
Flu viruses are capable of making subtle alterations in their genetic machinery that transform them into more - or less - fearsome pathogens.
Yeah, USUALLY DONE in a LAB!!!!!!!!
Timing is critical, too, and that’s especially true with swine flu: A vaccine isn’t expected to be widely available until mid-October, and the germ is already circulating among a population with little natural protection against it. Even in a regular season, chronicling the death toll from flu is notoriously tricky. Flu symptoms mimic other ailments, office tests are hardly foolproof, and the virus proves most lethal to patients already burdened with chronic illnesses.
“People die of heart attacks and pneumonias and so on who wouldn’t have died if they hadn’t been infected with influenza,’’ said Dr. David Ozonoff, a flu specialist at the Boston University School of Public Health. “But if you look at many of those death certificates, they won’t have influenza as the immediate cause or even the contributing cause.’’
Marc Lipsitch, a Harvard School of Public Health epidemiologist, speculated that the official count of swine flu deaths - it stands below 1,600, as of the middle of last week - “is certainly an underestimate of the number of deaths. It may be a bad underestimate or it may be a modest underestimate, but it is certainly an underestimate.’’
For example, research from New York City, particularly hard hit by the virus in the spring, showed that almost 20 percent of the people killed by swine flu hadn’t been hospitalized, Lipsitch said, making it less likely such deaths would be linked to the disease. Multiplied across the country, that phenomenon could contribute to making the flu strain appear less lethal than it is. Assessing swine flu’s impact was further muddied by a decision in the past month to change what counts as an H1N1 death....
I'll bet the "change" meant MORE DEAD!
How much you wanna bet, cui bono, readers?
So federal disease specialists expanded the definition to include deaths that doctors attribute to flu and pneumonia based on symptoms, and both the swine type and the seasonal strain count. Since that change was made, the count has grown....
Talk about RIGGING the NUMBERS!!!!
Flu stands in stark contrast to other diseases that are far easier to monitor because they cause fewer cases with more distinctive symptoms. “With flu, we can have 60 million people potentially infected,’’ said Dr. Lyn Finelli, flu surveillance chief at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We could never count all those cases, and we could never count all those deaths.’’
Is that what the FEMA CAMP MASS GRAVES and BODY BAGS for?
Harvard’s Lipsitch had a central role in developing the swine flu planning scenario authored by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. That report - which said that in a “plausible scenario,’’ H1N1 could kill 30,000 to 90,000 - emphasizes “this is a planning scenario, not a prediction.’’
So WHEN does the scenario "GO LIVE," so to speak? Next week?
A cochairman of the council, Eric Lander, said it would have been irresponsible not to include dire scenarios. Failing to do so, he said, would be akin to neglecting the possibility that a coastal region could be walloped by the most powerful of hurricanes. “We’d better be prepared for a hurricane devastating New Orleans,’’ said Lander, director of the Broad Institute in Cambridge. “But that’s not the same thing as predicting a hurricane is going to devastate New Orleans.’’
We are not talking natural events here!
To develop their models, the scientists reviewed what happened during the two most recent global flu epidemics, in 1957 and 1968. They examined the course of the H1N1 virus since it emerged in Mexico, traveled to the United States, and then hopscotched the globe. And they considered what might happen if infections are rampant before a vaccine is available.
Except they are ALREADY HERE and BEING INJECTED INTO PEOPLE!!!
See: Children Now Being Used In Tests On Unlicensed Swine Flu Vaccines
But all of those considerations involve significant - if educated - guesswork. Consider even the widely cited figure that, in an average flu season, 36,000 people are killed by flu viruses in the United States.
Yup, kills far more and that rarely raises a blip any other season.
It was distilled by federal specialists from more than two decades’ worth of flu surveillance.
Even the terminology is offensive.
“Just because the CDC or some other agency puts out a number as an official health statistic, that doesn’t mean it’s a true and accurate number. It’s more of an estimate,’’ said Al Ozonoff of BU’s public health school, who specializes in the study of influenza.
All you need to know about the CDC, folks.
A recent study found that people under 30 have little existing protection against the swine flu virus, while older adults harbor disease-fighting cells against the germ. It’s believed the older adults’ immune systems carry the memory of encounters with ancestors of the virus....
They really think we are stoo-pid idiots out here, don't they?
And you know who they want to get those poisonous potions in the most:
"Flu shots often miss the pregnant; Many find their obstetricians don’t vaccinate" by Lauran Neergaard, Associated Press | September 29, 2009
Good!!
WASHINGTON - It’s hard for pregnant women to escape the message: You’re at extra risk from swine flu - it could trigger premature labor, hospitalize you for weeks, even kill you - so be among the first in line for vaccine next month. But only about one in seven pregnant women gets a flu shot each winter.
Yes, Americans, the EVIL GLOBALIST SOBs want to DESTROY YOUR HEART by KILLING YOUR MOMMIES and BABIES!!!! Heard it here first!!!!
And IF this is JUST ABOUT $$$ for PHARMACEUTICALS, well then -- EVIL, EVIL, EVIL!!!!!
While federal health officials are working hard to raise that number this year, repeated swine flu warnings won’t automatically overcome a key obstacle: Many obstetricians don’t vaccinate. And not only are many women reluctant to go hunting for flu shots elsewhere, historically some pharmacists and other providers have been wary of vaccinating them.
Because THEY KNOW!!!!!!
“Maybe this year we can change that culture,’’ says Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It’s not supposed to happen that you, when you are pregnant, are fighting for your life on a respirator.’’
Are you SCARED YET, mommy-to be?

That's odd because I was told the "CDC doesn’t have an exact count of swine flu deaths."

Vaccine is a two-for-one deal during pregnancy: It can protect not just the woman but the baby, too, for the first few months after birth.
Yeah, PUMPING POISONS INTO YOUR BODY and PADDING PHARMACEUTICAL PROFITS is a "DEAL!!!"
The mother’s body makes flu-fighting antibodies that easily cross the placenta to be carried by the fetus, explains Dr. Neil Silverman of the University of California, Los Angeles. That’s important because flu can easily kill newborns, yet babies can’t be vaccinated until they’re 6 months old....

"CDC Drafts “Isolation Order” for H1N1
The following draft of an “isolation order” was discovered on the CDC’s website. It is a template for state and local officials to impose quarantines and what would effectively be martial law.
“Your illness [as determined by state and local officials] requires that you be isolated and requires further public health investigation and monitoring.”
Failure to obey will result in imprisonment without bail prior to trial and the possiblity of a two year prison term."
