There is the prevalent opinion in the media that our lives are at risk in this winter flu season, especially since the current variety of the swine flue (H1N1) is rampant.
But is it? What authority should we look to for facts on the subject?
The popular media would have us accept the edicts of the CDC. But the
Centers for Disease Control has been given more voice than science seems to support. If you want a balanced view of the current health concern, you would do well to expand your sources of scientific information. Ultimately, our health is a function of our choices in care and lifestyle. There are more choices than the media commonly presents. And health is not necessarily a result of the most popular method to address the flu this season.
Here is an excerpt from
a post by Dr. Joeseph Mercola on the subject:
Oh, how short our memories are.
It was only four short years ago when President Bush projected that TWO MILLION Americans would die from the bird flu . Guess how many in the US died from bird flu?
Zero, not one person…
I actually wrote a NY Times best seller on this called The Great Bird Flu Hoax.
With the H1N1 flu we have yet another example of how the CDC and the World Health Organization brazenly distort reality.
In addition, they ignore and deny the dangerous and life-threatening side effects of their expensive solution, encouraging innocent people to suffer for the cause of “herd immunity” – the idea that the benefits of vaccinating everyone outweigh the rights of those who are harmed by the vaccine.
And even though reports of severe adverse reactions to the H1N1 vaccine, including deaths, are streaming in from countries around the world, these two governing bodies are continuing their campaign in the U.S. and around the world to promote a vaccine that has not been proven safe – or even necessary.
H1N1 is the Pandemic that Never Materialized Just Like Bird Flu
I’ve already addressed the non-necessity of this vaccine in previous articles revealing that H1N1 is nothing but a hyped-up blip on the radar. In fact, a former Ontario, Canada, chief medical officer of health went on CBC/TV and called H1N1 a “dud” as far as a pandemic goes.
Sadly, you’re not hearing this in the mainstream media, although stunning coverage by CBS Chicago has finally blown the lid off the hype. In an investigation by reporter Sharyl Attkisson, this station recently revealed that only a fraction of reported H1N1 cases actually are H1N1!
Sharyl found this out by doggedly pursuing the numbers, first through a Freedom of Information Act request from the CDC, and then by contacting each state individually when the CDC refused to respond.
The states’ responses were shocking: The vast majority of cases being reported as H1N1 actually are not flu at all – instead, they are some other kind of respiratory infection!
To read about this report and listen to an interview I did with Attkisson on this topic, please see this previous article.
