OH YEAH?

guess where all the internet monitoring flows to and you guessed where that vaccine maker sits

According to a list compiled by Dr. Patricia Doyle at rense.com, a host of strange ingredients are used to make up Hoffman-La Roche’s anti-flu drug Tamiflu, which has recently been connected with bizarre behavior,

Patients using Tamiflu — which many nations are stocking up on as a way to combat a possible pandemic of the deadly H5N1 bird flu — reported delirium, hallucinations, delusions, convulsions, disturbed consciousness and abnormal behavior. The FDA reports that side effects reported with Tamiflu include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bronchitis, stomach pain, dizziness and headache.

ANTI-MONOPOLISTS VERY QUIET ON JUST ONE FIRM ”SERVING” THE WHOLE WORLD

Seriously, though, you’re certainly right: we know that the people with some sort of health condition (does a common cold count??) are most likely to die, so the fact that old and sick people are the first to go should come as no surprise. And again, at this point there are still the resources and the incentive (at least here) to diagnose and treat patients, and once that fails I’m sure we’ll see a lot more young (meh!), healthy (cough!) and beautiful (hah!) people kick the bucket. (Note to my family: please quote me on that when you write my obituary.)

I am annoyed with the public health departments here (Ontario, Canada) who are saying that they see no need to do any more reporting of cases or closing of schools etc, on the basis that they are handling H1N1/SOIV just like they would regular seasonal flu. BUT, their normal approach for seasonal flu includes vaccinations for people with underlying risk factors – with no vaccinations for SOIV available yet, one would think they should take that into consideration. (Yes, it’s personal: I still have a nasty cough, asthma, and persistent headache (but at least I didnâ??t die) from the illness I contracted 2 weeks ago at a local elementary school , very likely S-OIV, but I canâ??t be sure since they are not doing testing any more (not that it would make much difference at this point except to satisfy my intellectual curiosity).)

If you’re going to catch this flu, now seems to be the right time for it. It’s apparently not particularly deadly (yet), and there’s the additional benefit of being treated and closely monitored by health professionals that aren’t completely swamped by these cases (yet). Being isolated in a hospital must be a bit boring, but surely it’s a small price to have paid for (possible) immunity, should the flu go all 1918 on us.

I’m a bit worried about a similar situation in Japan – there are strong pressures to go to work, and taking unnessary time off is a strong hit against one’s record. Add in the fact that a lot of workers aren’t even entitled to time off for sickness and that could add up to a lot of deaths.

The scams are also on the rise in Japan, targetting senior citizens: http://www.japantoday.com/category/kuchikomi/view/new-flu-fears-stir-swine-to-swindle-seniors
