Oh, not necessarily. This could be a test-run of sorts. Making sure that people can be contained, also making sure that the distribution channels for pharma corps are working to full capacity. There is an interesting article that kind of explains this. It's a perfect profit making situation to use on people who buy in to everything. On top of this, IBM knew that there was a coming pandemic back in 2006 and released internal documents showing their involvement.StevieWonderMk2 said:Has no pedigree? It's H1N1, that's it's pedigree. Y'know, the same kind as Spanish flu? Flu is zoonotic, it crosses between species. And due to the structure of its genetic material (8 seperate chunks, rather than one) it can recombine into new forms if multiple strains infect one animal (namely Pigs. Humans and birds are too different to get disease transfer easily, see the rarity of avian flu. Pigs are in the middle, can get both.)jpoon said:It's more like... You haven't seen a mass pandemic of SARS or Bird Flu because the military research facilities haven't released a version that will kill mass amounts of people yet. The swine flu has no pedigree so I'm doubting this was a naturally occuring virus. Probably yet another experiment by some viral research facility.StevieWonderMk2 said:I will say this once more, final time. Hopefully people will get it this time:lior13 said:i had the Swineflu it's just like any other flu just with a difrent name.
i was sick for 1 week and i had to stay in bed but that was it.
i dont get whats the big deal, why cas people died from it people also die from the regular flu.
What swine flu is NOW is not what we should be scared of. What it might BECOME is worth fearing.
Get it? As swine flu is a novel strain the population has less resistance to it than normal flu. So if it mutates and becomes more pathogenic a large number of people could die. How can we stop that? By vaccinating people and stopping it spreading NOW.
The reason SARS and Bird Flu blew over? They didn't become what we feared they would.SARS was clamped down rapidly and never had a chance to spread, bird flu hasn't yet mutated to gain human-to-human transmission. Hopefully swine flu will blow over, but that won't mean we were wrong to be concerned.
And if it WAS released from a bioweapons lab, don't you think it'd be more fatal than it is currently?
You do know that new forms of flu can be pretty lethal?FallenJellyDoughnut said:I'm not taking it and am trying to get swine flu simply to show my family that it is not a horrible disease that will kill off all the children in the world, its just a fucking FLU!
This is my sentiment exactly.FallenJellyDoughnut said:I'm not taking it and am trying to get swine flu simply to show my family that it is not a horrible disease that will kill off all the children in the world, its just a fucking FLU!
buying?Julianking93 said:No. Its just another bullshit flu that the media just hypes up so they can scare you into buying the damn vaccine.
