Comments on: Swine WHO? http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2009/12/29/swine-who/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Maggie http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2009/12/29/swine-who/comment-page-1/#comment-89022 Maggie Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:33:59 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/?p=14635#comment-89022 Gaius- My daughter is an ER/RN. Back in late September/early October they were notified by the CDC to 'just treat ANY flu or flu-like symptoms as Swine Flu, and mark it as such'. I have heard this from more than one doctors' office also ... and to not bother testing for the actual Swine Flu because the test is too expensive. Then I saw a couple reports using the term "estimates" on the numbers when all is said and done. It IS pretty much like the whole ClimateGate data hoax. A side BTW, back in September my doctor informed me he wouldn't be getting the vaccine and wasn't advising it (not even sure he was giving it at all). Gaius-

The Mexican Airlines counter was closed in Sacramento and when we returned to Minneapolis their planes were parked at the south end of the airport. The pilots were staying at our motel and were not allowed to return home. How much other disruption was caused by this manufactured crisis? This faux hysteria started back in April.

Unfortunately, too many citizens can count, distrust the government health system, and didn't buy into the mass panic. The next round of press releases will tell us that only due to the fine vaccine distribution did we avert a 1918 pandemic. Nevermind that the numbers are lower than a normal flu season.
