I just think this is some more propaganda. When the bird flu was killing everybody but American's a few years back, Dick Cheney was a former board member and also held a large stock amount in the only company that had the vaccine. Maybe Joe Biden is behind this one. Who knows, but I can almost guarantee no one will die in the U.S. from this flu. Somebody prove me wrong

2009 swine flu outbreak
The new strain of influenza involved in the 2009 swine flu outbreak strain is a reassortment of several strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that are, separately, endemic in humans and in swine. Preliminary genetic characterization found that the hemagglutinin (HA) gene was similar to that of swine flu viruses present in U.S. pigs since 1999, but the neuraminidase (NA) and matrix protein (M) genes resembled versions present in European swine flu isolates. Viruses with this genetic makeup had not previously been found to be circulating in humans or pigs, but there is no formal national surveillance system to determine what viruses are circulating in pigs in the U.S.
The origins of this new strain remain unknown. One theory is that Asian and European strains traveled to Mexico in migratory birds or in people, then combined with North American strains in Mexican pig factory farms before jumping over to farm workers. The Mexican health agency acknowledged that the original disease vector of the virus may have been flies multiplying in manure lagoons of pig farms near Perote, Veracruz, owned by Granjas Carroll, a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods.

Its just another way the government wants to instill fear and control us. When there is 2thousands dead in the US then I will start to worry. There are so many dieases and outbreaks of viruses all the time but they never get press unless something else is going on that people don't want the citizens focusing on.

ya its all bullshit! there was a doc on the radio this morning, said they have several different vaccines for it (that work). on top of that they said "the flu shot has no effect on it but thats because the flu shot is a dudd this year" thats what they said any way, and then they made fun of the people that paid for there flu shot!

As long as you don't fuck pigs you have nothing to worry about, but that is mainly speculation at this time. What is known about swine flue is that it is spread through coughing and sneezing and there is no vaccine available, so if you get infected, you are probably fucked! [Eek!]

You can go to
You are fucked for the straight scoop.

Only time will tell if the swine flu is a sign that God is blowing his wad all over us or if we can just sit back and relax and not worry about getting fucked by a virus.

The swine flu is just like the regular flu just another strain of it. You can catch it just like you would the ordinary flu, and the only difference in symptoms thus far is you are more like to vomit from it but still have all the same symptoms....

They are saying its a mixture of human, pig, and avain (bird) flu. But cutting it short to just "swine flu."

I heard this morning on the news that they closed branham high school in SJ for a week b/c a student had it and closed another elementry school after 13 kids went home sick in one day.

There is also the first reported death in the States from this flu in texas, it was a little baby less than 2 y/o i believe.

They still cant figure out why so many people in mexico are dying either.

But also keep in mind about 36,000 people die every year from just influenza (common flu)
