FRIDAY, Nov. 20 (HealthDay News) — Some areas of the United States are seeing declines in H1N1 swine flu activity, a federal health official said Friday, and while the disease remains widespread in 43 states, that’s down from the 46 states reported last week.
The H1N1 virus continues to hit young adults and children hard. During the past week, 21 more children died from the flu, bringing to 171 the total number of confirmed deaths among children. But, Schuchat cautioned, “This is just a partial counting. Those estimates showed that at least 22 million Americans have come down with the swine flu since the virus first surfaced in April, and approximately 3,900 people have died, including an estimated 540 children. Of the children who have died from swine flu, two-thirds had chronic health problems, such as asthma, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, Schuchat said. The remaining one-third of the children were healthy and died of complications from bacterial infections, she said.
By way of comparison, seasonal flu — which poses a greater health threat to older adults — kills an estimated 36,000 Americans each year.
Meanwhile, the supply of H1N1 swine flu vaccine continues to grow, Schuchat said. As of Friday, 54.1 million doses had been produced by manufacturers — an additional 11 million doses since last week, she said.
Earlier, the CDC predicted there would be 190 million doses available by year’s end.
Better dump that stock…fast.
170,000 swine flu vaccines manufactured by UK drugs company GlaxoSmithKline have been recalled after patients began to develop side effects at a rate 5 times higher than expected.
The problem with their lies about killer viruses is that the foundational scientific understanding of all viral particles is that every single one of them can be transmitted by air. They claim there are only certain ways to catch it yet they all travel by air in all reality.
wow. so much wrong there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus
#30 Mr Fusion..
while yes, I phrased the context and continuity of the entire post poorly..
My intent was to frame the post exclusively in a marketing perspective and light, (ie: profit motive being the only reason for “the mandate”)
Paranoia has nothing to do with it.
Simply..it is extremely obvious what the long term “business plan” is for “health care” and vaccines, how it is being “framed” in the minds of the dumbed down masses, -and how GovCorp will exploit it all..
#28 Glenn E did a rather elegant job of illustrating the “Big Picture” of the vaccine scam quite nicely.
-esp in his last statement:
I think the only reason we’re now hearing about declining Flu victim numbers, is because of the approaching holiday shopping season. What a bunch of commercial mercenaries, our news reporters are.
-is a brilliant observation.
Our science is bought and payed for to support political, ideological and above all, -profiteering gone mad.
-Paranoidiacs need not apply. 😀

“I still don’t understand why some people refuse to even consider that H1N1 could be a potential threat.”
I’m a firm believer in the close relationship between the history of snake oil sales and the history of the medical community and it’s set of similar products offered for sale. I for one, haven’t seen any proof that the famed H1N1 is what some scientists and officials claim. I do see the typical set of circumstances leading to media attention based on the claims of a very few at the top of the viral chain of command. I mean it’s not like I’m committing a crime by not trusting government am I? Where is the absolute proof that it exists and that IT is what harms as compared to just being there? I see lots of hysteria and handing down of press releases and bosses in certain departments stating it’s real, and IT’s the cause, but we heard all of this before with swine flu and many other similar situations throughout the history of government trying to regulate health ineffectively.
#34 if the dude is so wrong maybe you should provide some exacts as to why a virus supposedly can’t travel by air. It is my understanding that even water can travel by air so why shouldn’t a virus be able to travel by air? In fact, I just did some research on it and found that there is no ultra microscopic particle on earth that can’t be thrown through the air by the simple movements and changes of warming and cooling, thus, it appears that what the idiot is saying is true, and thus, what we are being told by those in charge is quite a mismatch of statements that contradict all too frequently and should be routinely questioned if not entirely discarded.

There is a difference between being able to travel by air and actually doing it and actually making someone sick when it does. The guy was trying to say that HIV can be transmitted through air and not just blood or body fluids because it is a virus and all viruses not only travel through air but you can catch it that way. This is patently false because there are tons of viruses that have been around for a long long time that are not transmitted from person to person through air. Mono for example. There’s a reason why it is known as the kissing disease. I don’t know anything about medicine but I do know that hiv is not transmitted from person to person through the air.
