To add to the above - it is not that what you wrote is wrong. It is simply a fraction of a truth. It goes nowhere. The best service you can give to your readers - given your following - is to warn against taking the vaccine which our government is importing.

Look at this. It comes up prominently in the above google-search: http://www.ktradionetwork.com/tag/h1n1-flu-pandemic-vaccine/  It&#039;s a case filed with the FBI against WHO, et al by an Austrian investigative journalist. You might disagree with her conclusions (although I can assure you, they are based on many truths), but you cannot fight the facts. Her point is midway through the article:

&quot;She presents evidence leading to the belief that the bird flu and swine flu viruses have, in fact, been bioengineered in laboratories using funding supplied by the WHO and other government agencies, among others. This “swine flu” is a hybrid of part swine flu, part human flu and part bird flu, something that can only come from laboratories according to many experts.

&quot;WHO’s claim that this “swine flu” is spreading and a pandemic must be declared ignores the fundamental causes. The viruses that were released were created and released with the help of WHO, and WHO is overwhelmingly responsible for the pandemic in the first place. In addition, the symptoms of the supposed “swine flu” are indistinguishable from regular flu or from the common cold. The “swine flu” does not cause death anymore often than the regular flu causes death.

&quot;Burgermeister notes that the figures for deaths reported for the “swine flu” are inconsistent and there is no clarity as to how the number of “deaths” has been documented.

&quot;There is no pandemic potential unless mass vaccinations are carried out to weaponize the flu under the guise of protecting the population.
[...]

&quot;The people of the U.S. will suffer substantial and irreparable harm and injury if they are forced to take this unproven vaccine without their consent in accordance with the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, National Emergency Act, National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51, Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20, and the International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza.

&quot;In the U.S. since 2008, Burgermeister charges that those named in her allegations have implemented new and/or accelerated the implementation of laws and regulations designed to strip the citizens of the U.S. of their lawful constitutional rights to refuse an injection. These people have created or allowed provisions to remain in place that make it a criminal act to refuse to take an injection against pandemic viruses. They have imposed other excessive and cruel penalties such as imprisonment and/or quarantine in FEMA camps while barring the citizens of the U.S. from claiming compensation from injury or death from the forced injections. This is in violation of the laws governing federal corruption and the abuse of office as well as of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Through these actions, the named defendants have laid the groundwork for mass genocide.&quot;

If you think she&#039;s cuckoo, I can imagine the nightmare you&#039;d have had you known she is very close to the truth.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You can delete this post - it&#039;s not for viewers. But do read it.

Your title asks a question. The answer is obvious, but you will not find it in Gharb. If you are to explore such a question you have to take it to its sources. What&#039;s happening in Malta is only a small reflection of what is happening elsewhere.

It is highly worrying, not to say annoying, that you should take this high ground without exploring the matter beyond these shores; without doing your research. It is easy to quote the Times and pick on local idiots, but the disservice is to yourself because you are coming out as a self-centred petty scribbler who&#039;s no better than Benoit. At least she does not pretend to be a know-it-all.  Since you are too impetuous to be spoon-fed, it is you who has to decide to smarten up and do your research. Otherwise, you&#039;re grounded in Lilliput - for ever.

Google-search &#039;H1N1 vaccination quarantine fema&#039; and spend an hour or two of your precious time (much of which you prefer to waste on Astrid and other insignificants). When you come to what you consider &#039;tinfoil&#039; stuff, don&#039;t stop, check it out, amuse yourself - see what the tinfoil hatters are saying - some of them have spent thousands of hours researching the subject, respect that. Many are dissenting professionals and experts in the field. Respect that too. (It is not easy for professionals, look at what happens when they go public: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25272600-2702,00.html)

There IS a rabbit hole and it has plenty of entrances, but not for lazy scribblers. In your case, you need to spend two hours of research for every paragraph you write. You&#039;ve been reading too much crap far too long.

Otherwise, just stick to Piano, Astrid, KMB, Joseph, Jason, Otello and Anglu Bellu. You do a great job there.]]></description>

Totally irrational hoarding it was, too. On the eve of a nuclear holocaust, I&#039;d be hoarding bags of flour and water purification tablets (or bleach), not corned beef. By the time the 19th March 2003 came round, we&#039;d grown up a bit, thank Mars. Glorious night that was, watching extremely fruitsome anchorwomen with awe-stricken eyes, asking stupid but heartlfelt questions to military experts. But the pleasure was short-lived, as we all knew it would be, and this latest war soon turned boring. Now there&#039;s absolutely bugger all on TV. Which is why we&#039;re latching on to this swine flu business as a makeshift distraction from this infinite boredom that is 2009.]]></description>

What is being reported are the ones that are testing positive and tests are only being performed on individuals who have an underlying disease. This has been going on in the UK for over two weeks now and in Malta for one week.

So the actual number of flu cases is at present unknown in both countries.

As for my comment, I was referring to the 1918 pandemic - &lt;em&gt;there is no real evidence&lt;/em&gt;  that we should be expecting an increase in severity in autumn. On the other hand, as the genetics of the individual have some impact on the severity of the flu, it &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be (I have no objective evidence) that the responsible genes might have been wiped out or highly reduced during the 1918 pandemic, and thus have not been transmitted to the present generation.

The scientific community should take this opportunity to look at this possible genetic trait.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I think I should point out that you&#039;re a geneticist, Chris, and not just another layman speculating.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
