Swine Flu - A Distraction?
Posted April 27th, 2009 by Khomar
The oh-so-trustworthy media has jumped on this so-called pandemic with an intense fervor, and it clear that we here on DailyPaul have as well as it dominates the active forum topics. Not to minimize the tragedy of those who have lost their lives, but we are talking about a very small number of deaths and cases. While this outbreak could certainly spread, it does not justify the outright panic that is occurring. The death rate of those infected is not actually all that incredibly high, and it appears that will good medical service (which is readily available in our country), chances of fatality are quite low.

I think we need to step back a moment and really think about this situation. We know that the media would like nothing better than to pull the wool over our eyes. I see a couple distinct possibilities regarding this outbreak:

1) It will be used to enact martial law or enforced vaccinations. This is, of course, the prevailing theory here on Daily Paul as we love to consider such dictatorial conspiracy theories (and not without good reason), but in our own efforts to discuss this line of reasoning, we are playing into their hands by whipping up FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).

2) It is a distraction to get our mind off important matters. Think about it. In the last two weeks, we have seen unprecedented interest in the Federal Reserve and wanton government spending. The Audit the Fed bill was getting a huge influx of support. Now, suddenly people are no longer paying attention to this important matter as everyone panics over what is at this point a trivial outbreak.

We must not lose focus here. We must not allow this to dissuade us from our plans or our vital efforts to restore freedom to this country.

I recommend we let this swine flu story fade and focus on the very important tasks of hand: keeping pressure and heat on our government officials.

i don't know if it is so much the dem's trying to distract the media, or the obamanation wanting to make darn sure he doesn't have a katrina on his hands. If he overreacts, he gets to say, oh well, at least i did something.

I'll repeat the question then.
If this is such a life and death situation, why arn't they sealing the boarders and distributing the vaccine, or at least making it?

Instead we are told it's no big deal.
If it's no big deal, why do they need 1.5 billion?

 

[Diesel99]

The regular flu and complications causes 36,000 deaths every year in the US so I really don't get what all the end of the world crap is about.

It's not a life and death situation.
It is a flu, a bad one. Most will just get a bad throat, but some will derive much worse symptoms... I.E. death.

It is something that has to be controlled, like any other ailment. without panic, not: "oh the Mexicans, lets blame the Mexicans..." the cost... 1.5 bil.

FYI: the disease has been found world wide now, not just in your back yard. It travels via people through tourists that travel on airplanes mostly, not across the mexican/ u.s. border./ COME ON!!!

if it becomes necessary, I will have my vaccine,

So you are saying that you don't know anyone, who knows someone that went to Mexico for a vacation in the past month? It can spread this fast.

The world is smaller than you think.

 

[Megadeth]

Man.. I was supposed to be going on a week long cruise to Mexico on May 9th, now it's on hold..

 

[Ollie]

The world is smaller than you think.

Correct it is smaller and much easier for this flu to get from one point to another, however.
To say, well, it's already in the country so we don't need to do anything to try and stop the spread is just flat silly.

That would be like saying we have a 4" water main that is broken, since the ground is already wet, we might as well not worry about fixing the pipe.

This started in mexico. It only makes sence that you would restrict travel to and from mexico to try and stop the RAPID spread of the disease. Will it spread if we sealed the boarders and such. Yes. Will it spread faster with less control if we take the tack that since it is already here we don't need to worry about trying to control it. Yep.

This is so cool drug stores cant keep it on the shelf "Relenza and Tamiflu, both neuraminidase inhibitors, are not without their dangers. They are suspected of causing neural and psychiatric side effects, including delirium and abnormal behavior, a committee of outside advisers to the Food and Drug Administration said in 2007."


So what party did the makers back?

First reported death in the U.S. and it was a baby.

 

[Wolfrun]

I think distraction. Notice we haven't heard a thing about Pakistan or Hillary's where abouts since all this has come down. BO lets the Taliban take Pakistan and THE POOP HITS THE FAN.

I seen that & am sad about that but this is not something new, If we knew the total of people died from this last seasons flu it would be shocking.

Thank you & that is what I thought, Just no outcry is needed untill the Whitehouse needs a distraction

 

[H2SNOW]

shes level five now on a scale of 6 ....maybe it will hit 6 by saturday ....oh well I have lots of beer stocked up ..probably don't need to go into town for at least 2 weeks

 

[jsledder]

I agree with Wolf..... distraction, and just coincidentally at the time they are going to push the National health care bill through the back door. Wonder how many of them will read this one????? 1, maybe 2???

There's an average of 36,000 deaths, in the US alone, from the common flu every year.......
