…if we had something to compare it to like: 1)how many people usually die
of flu-related complications each year 2)how many adverse reactions there’s
been so far to the H1N1/seasonal flu vaccines in Cochise County. Since we
have neither, this is sheer government/media hype ONCE AGAIN making sure
swine flu is on the front page. This family’s loss is real, it is very sad
and perhaps could have been prevented (?) by her taking antivirals before or
at any time during the flu. See my other posts for natural antivirals proven
effective, listed in PubMed, nontoxic, easily available. Everyone who CARES
should be taking antivirals if they’ve been exposed, at the first sign of
sickness, if they’re in a high-risk group, a student, etc. The Health Dept.
should be telling people to take them, drs & hospitals to stock them as
something besides a dangerous vaccine than could SAVE LIVES without deadly
side effects. Google DESIREE JENNINGS, she’s now cured from a nearly-fatal
flu vaccine reaction.
