    Health officials said today that they are concerned about a flu-like disease that has killed 57 people in Mexico, and that the outbreak could be linked to a new type of flu infecting people in the US.
    Meh.

    The conspiracy is the cover up.

    This happens all the time.
    When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with a lot of easily-disproved false claims.

    A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout)

    Not exactly a pandemic.

    And if it was the governments intent to let this spread why is the CDC issuing warnings?

    Good Lord, this response and logic is laughably biased in favour of the offishul story. Sure, the CDC issued a warning, so it couldn't be a bio weapon..... Ever read into the AIDS virus and the timeline of it's development King Mob?

    81 dead in Mexico.

    Dozens infected in Kansas, California and Texas.

    Ten NZ school kids infected.

    Kids in NYC infected.

    How strange is this? Coincidence?

    Obama’s Visit

    The first case was seen in Mexico on April 13. The outbreak coincided with the President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at Mexico’s anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archeologist who died the following day from symptoms similar to flu, Reforma newspaper reported. The newspaper didn’t confirm if Solis had swine flu or not.

    Maybe Obama might be getting flu symptoms in the next few days .

    So before the huge drug companies existed, the ones responsible for the these pandemics and poisoned vaccines, hardly anyone died from these diseases, right? Hardly anyone, right? I must have imagined reading about the many millions who died from these diseases in the past.

    Since then how many people typically die from one of these outbreaks, hmm a few thousand?

    Well that sorts if for me the drug companies are poisoning us all, proof positive. :rolleyes:

    Interesting argument and looks solid at first glance but falls down when you take a closer look. Ever since the discovery/invention of antibiotics and more advanced medical procedures fewer and fewer people have died from flu and what not. Hardly anyone ever dies from the plague any more yet that killed millions way back when. TB was eradicated here in Ireland and Smallpox was eradicated worldwide. The arrival of a variant strain of flu is not a big issue but what is a big issue is the arrival of a strain of flu that seems to be made of three completely different strains. There is a lot of evidence to show that big pharma have on numerous occasions deliberately released new and/or mutated virii into the wild for their own profit-making ends - polio vaccines being the biggest and most public example (they even made movies about some of the bigger incidents).

    :P

    You going to show this evidence then?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Sorry to barge in but assuming this is a controlled release by [whoever], what is the perceived aim of such a move?
    Drug companies manafacturing and marketing treatment and vaccines?
    An attempt at eugenics (kill off the plebs).
    A means with which to hide an even bigger and more fiendish conspiracy?
    An antidote to the world economic collapse or a means to let the whole thing fully collapse and blame it on stresses on the system caused by global panic.
    An all out biological attack by forces unknown?

    Interesting thread if only for the dates posted....although there was a piece about the flu thing in MX early last week on BBC's world service (but I heard nothing of it again until friday night)...

    Though I'm sure what you'll do now is look for the most off-side link(s) that I just gave you and hype that up rather than actually do some serious research. :rolleyes:

    edit: I have a theory that doesn't involve big pharma and conspiracies - I believe that with the melting ice caps we may see 'ancient' virii being released that our ancestors overcame over time but resistance to which we may have lost over more time. How's that for a left-fielder?

    But lets look at some of this in closer detail.

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/04/25/MNGL7CDSFG1.DTL

    In both of these cases it wasn't the vaccine itself but the contaminant.
    And both were in the sixties.

    In the first one it was shown that the company was at fault.

    The second one says.
    But scientists at the National Cancer Institute say their studies show almost no SV40 in human tumors and no cancer increase in people who received the contaminated vaccine.

    "No one would dispute there's been a widespread, very scary exposure to the population of potentially cancer-causing virus," said Dr. Howard Strickler, NCI's chief investigator. "But none of our studies and other major analyses have shown an inkling of an effect on the population."

    And neither show a scrap of evidence that the government ordered either of them.

    Bush Minor suggested that an outbreak would justify the implementation of martial law.


    By the way, Spanish flu as mentioned by Bush has nothing to do with Spain, it was caused by the forced vaccinations of US military men, some of whom dropped dead immediatedely after recieving the vaccination.
    BUSH: And who best to be able to effect a quarantine?
    One option is the use of a military that's able to plan and move. So that's why I put it on the table. I think it's an important debate for Congress to have.
    I noticed the other day, evidently, some governors didn't like it. I understand that. I was the commander in chief of the National Guard and proudly so. And, frankly, I didn't want the president telling me how to be the commander in chief of the Texas Guard.
    But Congress needs to take a look at circumstances that may need to vest the capacity of the president to move beyond that debate. And one such catastrophe or one such challenge could be an avian flu outbreak.

    Ah so simple antibiotics would have stopped all these diseases that killed millions. We wouldn't need any specific medication at all. Pity that isn't true.

    Lot's of evidence eh. What you'll supply no doubt. Not saying it couldn't happen. But I'd rather put my faith in tested science that hearsay.

You've been through a system of education that has indoctrinated you to believe certain things and the fact that you went to med school in the first place could be taken as an indicator of your socio-economic status which in turn would say a lot as to your disposition towards such threads as these.

    Coming from a guy promoting an alternative health website. What is it about people in here and their lack of understanding irony.

    What actually happened was Bush give them super serum turning them all into supersoldiers. And to cover up this they spread the rumour these soldiers were dead.

    Bet I have more evidence than you.

    Ya see this is where your dishonesty shines through - I never said 'every single study' - you're inflating the issue and trying to make dramatic sweeping statements regarding what I've said in an attempt to detract from it (and to detract from your own inability to present a solid rebuff) - just like meglome who obviously hasn't bothered reading the whole thread and just throws in what he thinks will be suitably sarcastic and caustic statements in the hope that he'll look tough and get away with being ignorant.

    I've already posted in another thread that I have done years of research (almost 20 years) into alternative medicines and supplements. Recently I did some research into dental implants. When I approached one medical company a highly qualified dental surgeon lied point blank to me about certain types of implants. I was able to quote peer reviewed papers to contradict him and obviously won't be availing of his services.

    I have a 3rd level diploma in Satellite, GPS and GSM Comms, an honours degree in Computer Science, a 1st Class H.Dip. in Sociology and I'm doing an MA in Sociology. Next I'll be studying for the bar. I happen to be a big supporter of science and technology but I don't believe every word they say - I don't believe anyone without doing my own research.

    As for peer reviewed papers - even they have been found to be flawed. I'm not going to give you examples - do your own research and educate yourself (like I've done).

    Wow anecdotes and evidence you can't show!
    Convincing.

    So how do you know that all this anti vaccination stuff is true?
    Do you just believe everything people tell you as long as it's a conspiracy?

    Now you're just repeating yourself ad nauseum and adding a sprinkling of sarcasm (or attempting to anyway) so I really will cease replying to you and anyone else who has nothing concrete to say otherwise it's just an exercise in reductio ad absurdum.

    Backing you your claim with verifiable evidence.

    But why answer anyone who questions you, right?
