These days we are all talking about pandemic, swine flu, vaccine. There’s a lot of confusion around this topic, and it’s difficult to find the truth. Is the vaccine secure? Should you worry about the flu? How many people will die?
I’m the first to say that you can’t have an answer to all these question, but it surprises me to see that medias are so sure about what they are talking about. We have reached the point where people are not sure of anything, that’s I decided to write this story.
Note: I’ll not use real names here because I’m not in a position to do so, but you are free to do more research for yourself if you want. This story is adapted from another story I heard from an Italian radio. I just limited to validate the facts and report them here for you.
May 1997
Our story begins in may 1997. The first case of avian flu is contracted in Hong Kong. On December of the same year, 18 people are infected and 6 people die.
February 2003
There are currently 2 people infected by the avian flu, and only one death.
2005
In 2005, the avian flu reappears in China and Russia. Suddenly, the World Health Organization estimates that the flu will cause up 7,5 millions death and that all countries should be prepared for that.
Note. From my own research, the world health organization said that it was impossible to estimate the real number of deaths, and that the 7 millions number was their best estimate. Also, the actual U.N coordinator for avian and human influenza warned that the range of deaths could be anything between 5 and 150 millions. ( source ).
Based on what studies was this alarm diffused?
October 2005
United Kingdom announces the first case of avian flu in their country.
November 2005
The president of United States says that the flu will cause 2 millions deaths in the United States
June 2006
The World Health Organization reported the firsts cases of human transmission. Again, only 8 people are infected and 0 deaths.
July 2006
First case in Spain (on birds). Researchers says that there is no danger for humans.
July 2009
Nobody talks about avian flu. So why all that alarm? Why were medias paying that level of attention to the avian flu without giving attention to all those alternative researchers that wanted to tell us the truth?
To try to understand this, we must go back again.
July 1996
There’s no trace of pandemic, avian or swine flu in the world. Company X patent a new vaccine called vaccineX.
1997
Sig. X was nominated president of the administration of company X, and short after another company authorized company X to distribute the vaccine until the 2016, with a 10% commission.
In the following years
Sign Y left company X, but he remains one of the major shareholders of the company. His new job? Minister of the govern.
2005
The govern approves the financing of 1.2 billion dollars to produce 20 million doses of vaccines. Yet the number of deaths on the expected period is… 0.
The number of total deaths today is only a few hundreds, nothing compared to seasonal flu (half million deaths/year).
Medias don’t talk about measles, malaria, etc, diseases that causes more than 10 million deaths per year. Yet those diseases can often be cured with drugs that costs less than 1 dollar.
2009
Guess what’s the name of the vaccine in use today for the swine flu? vaccineX! (the same used years ago, can’t say the name). By the way, swines have nothing to do with this flu, birds are again the major vehicle.
On a related note…
Is the vaccine secure?
Are you sure that the vaccine isn’t more dangerous than the virus itself?
The goal of the vaccine is to prepare the organism against any dangerous attack. The reason vaccines can’t be ingested is because we already have plenty of antibodies and the vaccine needs to bypass them and create a sudden alarm in our body. What’s not being said is that the vaccine contains a lot of dangerous ingredients. I wont list them here but I’ll provide some resources at the end of this post.
Even vaccine promotors themselves can’t be sure of the long term dangers, because the vaccine can’t be tested for a long enough period of time (even if that would prove anything), so how can you be sure of taking it?
Resources
Again, I wont give any conclusion here. You are free to believe what you want, and do some in depth research if you are interested. Just remember to not listen to everything that has been said, even what you just read.

Oscar,
while I share your critical approach to vaccination, I must say that your article misinterprets some information:
1. Tamiflu is not a vaccine, it is a pill http://www.tamiflu.com/taking/default.aspx
2. Originally, it was invented to prevent influenza http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseltamivir
Swine flu capabilities were only proved later.
I must definitely agree that any, and predominantly long-term effects can not be predicted. Historically, there was only one massive, place-controlled, double blind and long-term survey. It was conducted by WHO and proved that the BCG vaccine did not have any protective effect.
WHO bulletin from 1979: http://whqlibdoc.who.int/bulletin/1979/Vol57-No5/bulletin_1979_57%285%29_819-827.pdf

Yes Tamiflu is a pill, but I always heard it linked with the vaccine. Maybe we are just confusing the two terms. Thanks for the clarification.

sorry, it should’ve been “placebo-controlled” instead of “place-controlled”

Truth, mass media and government don’t mix.
On another note, the government here increases taxes on cigarettes every 2-3 years by 6%. The official reason being, of course, to get people to quit.
Anyone familiar with a very basic marketing principle called elasticity will tell you that that occasional and small increase cannot have a lasting impact on consumption. All it does is reduce buying power and raise taxes.
Without being a conspiracy theory fanatic, it is clear that we are being lied to daily, and for the benefit of a select few’s economic interests.
I wasn’t very familiar with the swine flu story. Thanks for that detailed confirmation of the above principle!

Hey Charles.
Here’s a story that reinforces your theory:
If you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, the frog will jump out right away to escape the situation. But if you put the frog into a cool pot and gradually increase temperature, the frog will remain there until it’s too late.
I can confirm the same thing about cigarettes is happening here. I don’t smoke anymore, but it’s pretty annoying.

Oh, I’m sure there’s misinformation out there. I think people are naive if they don’t realize how intricately entwined media, lobbyists, corporations and the government are. It’s a bit scary….although I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m some conspiracy theorist. What I will say is this….caveat emptor. Beware of what you buy, beware of what the media tells you. Don’t always take things at face value.

Hey Nate, conclusions in these situations are often individualistic and if I would try to convince others of my version, I would be at the same level of the people I’m fighting against.

I love the simplicity and clarity of this post.
I never worried too much about avian flu and I totally ignored swine flu, but it did get kind of irritating seeing people get worked up about the dumb thing. I was particularly sick of all the idiotic adverts about how to save yourself from the swine flu which the government has put up all over Barcelona (prevention is the best measure it said… ha, go buy a vaccine. Duh).
So it’s very interesting to see why exactly this happened (I mean from reading your post I don’t really doubt that a certain government official decided to abuse his power to make himself rich, not that I have anything to lose if I’m wrong) and get a feel for how this stuff works behind the scenes.
Thanks for this post… I think I’ll link it in this week’s issue of “what’s in Gubby’s RSS feed?”, ha. :)

Doesn’t look like there’s much to worry about. It would be great to see a time line compairing these rare flu strain deaths to other common causes of death.

reply to this comment
Hey Jonathan. Yes that would be interesting. Based on my research, in the US only 36,000 people on average die each year from seasonal flu (including people with high diseases).

Monday starts the vaccination campaign in Spain. I’ve been thinking for two weeks about these points you stated above, but it’s not so simple because as you said there’s confusion and we don’t know the truth. I would like to have more info about the topic; Governments should provide accurate information on this topic, specifically about the side effects of the new vaccine.
Regards.

Maybe you are lucky and the vaccine you’ll do nothing to you. You’d better ask to your doctor if he/she is partial in his decisions. Unfortunately the problem with government often doesn’t know the ‘truth’ itself, so it’s hard for them to give proper advice (assuming it’s not corrupted).

Well done, Oscar, though it has been pointed out that Tamiflu is NOT a vaccine. For more on the swine flu craze, check out this AWESOME article in the Atlantic Monthly magazine. Great piece of journalism:

Interesting article. Also interesting that we continue to fight the effect and not the cause. That’s where I would invest my money.
reply to this comment
Wow Oscar. I never know you’re interested in the subject. You know, a few months ago, when I came back from Aus for my graduation, I thought I’m infected swine flu. Headaches, fever and cough really got me. So I went for a medical checkup. Thank lord it’s a false alarm. Haha

Oscar, I like the quote: Everything’s on above is everything’s on down. That’s because stars are shining on earth!!! :)
More direct, flu is there because pigs cant’ look at the sky. (Sure! :D ) So they can’t make changes on their spaces, they can’t distinguish what is bad and change themselves to a healthy space. :)

Hey Tany, thanks for your comment, it made me think a bit.

What makes me laugh the most is the contradictory messages the mass media put out all the time. One week they’ll say alcohol ‘can’ be good for you then next week they’ll say alcohol ‘can’ cause so and so.
If you pay attention to mass media when it comes to health topics then you are literally doomed as the contradictory information is almost cringeworthy. Sometimes you literally have just to just follow your gut!

it is sometimes hard to determine whether the vaccines are doing us more good or harm in the long term. I do agree that sometimes what we are dealing with are the effects and we leave the root problem unattended. Treating the effects will only be a short term solution for the problem we have and we might just make it bigger.

Vincent, that’s exactly the problem with western culture. We are busy fighting the effect rather than curing the cause.

There are rumors that US buy Swine flu virus from Indonesia and try to made a vaccine to made a profit. There must be a victim first so they can sell the vaccine

Excellent article Oscar – very thorough and mind-provoking.
I totoally agree with what you say – it just seems a huge media frenzy.
Personally, I have not talken nay man-made medicines for over 10 years and I would not go near any of these vaccines! They really cause more harm than any good – and who knows what hte long term consequences will be.
One day we will find out more and lean just what underhanded conspiracy has been afoot:-)
Until then, just look after your health the natural way.

Hey Arvind, I was reading today about a study that shows how the vaccine did not decrease the death rate. I have the sensation that 99% of times it’s useless other than potentially harmful.
