Doctors shocked by spread of swine flu – and its severity
Doctors shocked by spread of swine flu – and its severity

The swine flu virus that swept the world last year causing a global health emergency has returned to claim the lives of 10 adults in the UK in the past six weeks.
The 10 deaths were in younger adults under 65 and associated with H1N1 swine flu. Most had underlying conditions but “a small proportion” were healthy before being struck down by the virus, according to the Health Protection Agency (HPA).
Seasonal flu normally causes severe illness and death in the elderly. The H1N1 swine flu virus targets pregnant women, younger adults, and those with chronic conditions, making it a cause of particular alarm.
No other similar reports of deaths linked with swine flu have been received from elsewhere in Europe. Official figures show GP consultations for flu-like illness in England were at 13.3 per 100,000 population last week, well below baseline levels.
This is a post I found that in my opinion really sums up the way this article was written.

Wow… typical mainstream newsmedia BS
“The swine flu virus that swept the world last year.”
- It didn’t in fact last year’s flu season was milder than usual.
“The 10 deaths were in younger adults under 65″
- So in this context 64 could be described as a younger adult.
“Most had underlying conditions but “a small proportion” were healthy before being struck down by the virus.”
- A small proportion of 10 would be 1? Or would it be 2? How do we know they how healthy they really were? The correct term would be “apparently healthy.”
“The H1N1 swine flu virus targets pregnant women, younger adults, and those with chronic conditions, making it a cause of particular alarm.”
- Nonsense. Read Janine Robert’s book Fear of the Invisible to see how this is, as they say in the UK, total bollocks. Viruses do not work like that. They do not target like some invading army on a planned mission.
“No other similar reports of deaths linked with swine flu have been received from elsewhere in Europe”
- Not sounding too severe to me.
“Official figures show GP consultations for flu-like illness in England were at 13.3 per 100,000 population last week, well below baseline levels.”
- Flu like illnesses could mean anything and it doesn’t mean H1N1… and they are are at lower levels.
I can sum up that story in five words… Be afraid. Take the vaccine.
