Debating Swine Flu: The Politics of the Disease

Reader Comments

Back to article

H1N1 Influenza ("Swine Flu") will NEVER be an epidemic OR pandemic--- in the developed nations. But isn't always the case that crape rolls down hill?! What may happen is that over the next months when the virus will "supposedly" go dormant and mutate, a new batch of Swine Flu vaccine will appear from the smoke (and mirrors) to inject money into the evil Pharma industry, just in time for Christmas. It's ridiculous, see through and sociopathic--- AGAIN.

In 1918 the 1st WW spread it across the globe killing 20 million folks. Medicine has come a long way since then. The Swine Flu, or any flu, is most dangerous to the elderly, extremely young and immunocompromised. It is not a real threat to most healthy 21st Century people.

Learn some science people. Learn some basic medical concepts and quit going to the ER for the sniffles you've had hundreds of times in your life. Figure out what a cold is and its symptoms, what seasonal allergies are and the signs and symptoms. Learn what a Flu is and realize that all influenzas are uncomfortable, painful and take up to a week to resolve, BUT they can't kill most of us. Use technology to gain knowledge and increase your independent thinking and power.

Now I am convinced that the media IS the advertising arm for Big Biz. Shame on them. They have been complicit in every questionable act from the Iraq War to the financial crisis. You nut riders need to come clean and start acting like the unbiased entity you claim to be. This social and commercial engineering have got to stop people! Don't read papers or watch news channels. Boycott any anti-Human endeavor. Peace.
