A close friend said his dd had something a couple weeks ago that looking back now, sounds exactly like this flu. She stayed home a week, got better, and it was a blip on the radar.
Part of me says there's no way a new vaccine could be developed and produced on such a grand scale to enforce mandatory vaccination by this fall. The other part of me is remembering what my friend in Indiana told me last week. He works with the corrections department and mentioned that he's not worried as they already have a stockpile of the immunization at his facility. I mentioned that by all accounts it hasn't been developed yet, and he just kind of shrugged and said that's what they've been told. Someone is lying somewhere - either there's already a vax developed, or the people where he works were guilty of passing misinformation. At this point I'm not sure what to think. I'm not big into conspiracy theories, but I'm realistic enough to know that sometimes what you see isn't what's actually going on. |
If you look really hard at the reporting....some places it talks about stockpiles and more mainstreamy places it talks about "Don't worry, we'll have to work hard at finding a vax for this, because we've never seen a strain like this, but we;ll have it by fall" it doesn't take nancy drew OR lassy to smell the fishy on this.
The developmental and testing stages are lengthy and costly, when you are trying to find a way to combat a strain of a virus you've "never seen before"....so, either they are lying outright about not having it, because admitting they have it already would be insanely fishy considering the nature (or shall I say, design) of this particular virus....OR....they are going to whip together some nonesensicle hocus pocus and start shooting it in the arms of our children, husbands and family. I wouldn't put either past them....but the money and history tell me that the former is most likely the case.
And I think you're right about maaaaany more people than are reported having it. All over the place people are talking about "Well, I had something exactly like that a month ago...we all got it, felt like we were going to die and then got over it!" - it's the flu. But, the flu is not what matters...it's the panic that is necessary.
How long have they been priming us for this? I'm stil waiting to die from avian flu...or west nile...or SARS....I mean, the Discovery Channel even made TV shows about how these things were going to wipe out all of civilization. Maybe this swine flu will be just the panic we need for people to be lining up around the block to be saved form this terrible illness. Because, you know, it's more fun when people beg for it.
