Major Victory With Swine Flu Scandalby
Joseph Mercola
European scientists and health authorities are facing angry questions about why H1N1 flu has not caused death and destruction on the scale first feared, and they need to respond deftly to ensure public support. Accusations are flying in British and French media that the pandemic has been "hyped" by medical researchers to further their own cause, boost research grants and line the pockets of drug companies. Britain's Independent newspaper this week asked "Pandemic? What Pandemic?" France's Le Parisien newspaper ran the headline: "Swine flu: why the French distrust the vaccine" and noted a gap between the predicted impact of H1N1 and the less dramatic reality. "Although some 30-odd people have died...the disease is not really frightening," it said. "Dangerous liaisons between certain experts, the labs and the government, the obscurity of the contracts between the state and the pharma firms have added to the doubt." In response, scientists are walking a fine line. They say that although the virus is mild, it can still kill, and that the relatively low fatalities in Europe are in part, the result of official response to their advice.
However, in Britain, health authorities' original worst-case scenario – which said as many as 65,000 could die from H1N1 – has twice been revised down and the prediction is now for around 1,000 deaths, way below the average annual toll of 4,000 to 8,000 deaths from seasonal winter flu. Sources:

Comments: There is plenty to be optimistic about as it seems the tide may be slowly turning on this swine flu debacle, showing it for the hoax it really is. European scientists are now demanding answers to the growing inconsistencies. And, while many so-called scientific experts have criticized me and others who have spoken out about this senseless mass-vaccination campaign, more of the scientific community is now coming to the same conclusions we’ve been talking about for months. It looks as though the swine flu pandemic of 2009 will go down as one of the biggest government and pharmaceutical scams ever, renewing a healthy, and necessary, skepticism about the swine flu vaccine and the dubious dealings behind the implementation of worldwide mass-vaccination programs. On the upside, it has also created a more open debate about vaccinations in general. The childhood vaccination schedule is in dire need of an overhaul, and the swine flu hysteria has actually opened many people’s eyes to the unhealthy practices behind our vaccine policies. The public is finally starting to wonder and question, en masse, what’s being injected into them and their children. Prominent Doctor and Health Minister Blast Swine Flu Vaccine and Manufacturers These healthy signs are starting to crop up everywhere. For example, the Polish Health Minister Eva Kopacz recently told Parliament that she, as a qualified family doctor with more than 20 years of experience, will not authorize the use of vaccines with inadequate safety testing on millions of people in Poland. In her speech she says:
Bells Toll for Vaccine Maker Sister Teresa Forcades i Vila, PhD, an Italian Benedictine nun, a trained medical doctor, and the author of Crimes and Abuses of the Pharmaceutical Industry – a 36-page study available in full at this link – is yet another voice of reason in the sea of swine flu madness. I had an interview with her translated and transcribed into English, which you can read in its entirety here. Here’s an excerpt from her interview, questioning the sanity of placing our unequivocal trust in a pharmaceutical company like Baxter:
A “mistake” of this magnitude – a “mistake” that had the capacity to kill thousands of people and spread highly infectious, deadly disease worldwide, indeed START a pandemic of the epic proportions they’ve tried to turn the swine flu into – was REWARDED with massive contracts for more flu vaccines! This sure doesn’t seem like an accident. And this is one of the companies they want you to blindly trust… Lies, and More Lies… Despite the increasing skepticism about this pandemic, and increasing demands for answers to important questions, government health officials are still playing coy. The lengths to which they go to keep this misinformation campaign – this deception – going, is staggering. For example, while Ontario health officials declare the H1N1 a “dud” pandemic, stating the huge government investment made so far may have been unjustified, US federal health officials declare that at least 22 million Americans have contracted swine flu since April and approximately 3,900 people have died, including an estimated 540 children. US News quotes Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases as saying:
Excuse me, but since when can counting oranges in an apple orchard give you a more accurate picture of your apple harvest? That would be silly. And so is counting “flu-like illnesses” that have nothing to do with the H1N1 virus. As reported by the New American, this guessing – based on flawed data – has quadrupled the number of estimated deaths. The CDC stopped type-testing flu cases in August, and instead, they’re counting each and every person who presents “flu-like” symptoms! This is most definitely NOT going to produce more accurate numbers. On the contrary, CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Atkinson discovered that the vast majority of these so-called swine flu cases were not only NOT H1N1. They weren’t even the seasonal flu! I will be posting my interview with her very shortly. Meanwhile, the CDC claims that some 99 percent of all influenza this season is H1N1, hence they don’t need to do lab testing anymore to get accurate numbers. Ninety-nine percent is a far cry from what CBS News found when they investigated actual flu samples from across the country… The H1N1 virus only turned up in 1–17 percent of samples from patients with flu-like illness. These falsified, exaggerated numbers are then used to frighten you into compliance with their mass-vaccination plan. Because, naturally, Dr. Schuchat stated that vaccination is the best protection against the H1N1 swine flu, and that as of November 12, there were 41.6 million doses of the vaccine available. The unspoken directive is, of course, to “run out and get one while you can!”
Math, Anyone? Alright, look… The CDC previously estimated that the US death toll from the swine flu would be around 90,000. Even using their own bloated numbers – some 80 percent of which are in all likelihood unrelated to H1N1 – 3,900 people have actually died. That would STILL, according to their own statistics stating that the flu kills 36,000 Americans a year, put us squarely in the middle of the mildest flu season in recent memory. They simply can’t have it both ways. If it’s the mildest flu season in years, then there’s no reason to panic. And if it’s one of the worst, then where are the statistics proving this to be so? Great Britain, for example, has not been able to prove mass casualties, and changed their mortality estimates from 65,000 all the way down to 1,000. And guess what, their stated average annual death toll from the seasonal flu is between 4,000 and 8,000! In Closing This debacle is a great example of how high-ranking health officials do not truly understand viruses, or how your immune system is capable of fending off these supposedly deadly diseases so easily. Another reason for skepticism is the fact that the same people who are inventing ways to inflate the disease count – by changing definitions and disease criteria, for example – are playing the same games with vaccines. By their own estimates, 90,000 people were predicted to die, so the vaccine would be of benefit. Well, they were wrong – on both counts. In reality, a healthy immune system, and extreme respect for how your body develops real immunity, must be placed above the misguided advice from Big Pharma and the health agencies they unduly (and sometimes unlawfully) influence.
