Openshaw's statement is misleading. While there "may not be evidence that it has changed", it is not a fair statement since very little effort is being conducted to collect & release the sequences. Also, there has been no mention in the mainstream media of a 2nd pandemic strain that's likely circulating in the United States (trH3N2).
Had any of the hospitalized flu patients already received their seasonal (combined) flu shot this year?
I am interested to find out how effective this year's vaccination is against the main strains of flu spreading around.
ttmadison,
Don't hold your breath. There's no reason for them to report or even investigate whether or not those who are sick were also vaccinated. That might reveal a disturbing pattern. There's also no reason to show how many fatalities also had other problems that were factors in their deaths. Even if there is public outcry, expect the statistics to be skewed.
There's a lot of money in keeping the sick alive but not cured.
Is the fear to protect us, or marketing for drug companies?
I have the flu right now. I'd rather have it than run out and get a flu shot just because they advertise to freak people out over it. If you're not a "high risk" person don't waste your money. People who die from the flu, die from complications of the flu combined with other health problems. Big Pharma are drug pushers of the worst kind.
Eris2010,
The H1N1 flu doesn't target high risk groups; it's likely to be most severe in pregnant women, children, and young adults.
Healthy non-risk people have survived H1N1. It works the same as the seasonal flu. It can kill you if you already have an existing condition but the flu itself will not kill you.
In fact pregnant women, the elderly and children are considered high risk for the seasonal flu as well as the H1N1. Thousands of people die each year from regular ol' seasonal flu. You just heard all the business about H1N1 because it'sa new strain of flu. In all, it has been no worse than the average flu. It just got a lot of media attention.
chlorine dioxide will kill all virus and "bad" bacteria, easily made by mixing sodium chlorite and citric acid (can also use vinegar) You make a 28% dilution of the sodium chlorite and 10% dilution of the citric acid. You mix 1 drop diluted sodium chlorite to 5 drops of citric acid or vinegar wait 3 minuets to bring to full strength and take with water. Avoid Vitamin C take every hour or so or as tolerated. No side affects, if it makes you feel ill just space your dosages farther apart, it is die off
The goal is to increase the number of drops per hour to 2 or 3 or as tolerated until cured
Vitamin D (sunlight) is the best thing you can get for a healthy immune system. Some people will make fun of this statement, but without a strong immune system, you're toast. It doesn't matter how many vaccines you take.
Another winter, another flu season.....
Another bottle of gin ... ah I love the holidays..
sounds like a ZOMBIE OUTBREAK!
I got my shot, did you get yours? Take care of yourself, and Merry Christmas to all.
I look at it this way: spending $20 to get vaccinated will not kill me. Neither does the vaccine; but the flu could. Not getting vaccinated and getting sick with the flu is irresponsible in my opinion, because the treatment in a hospital costs thousands of $$ per day. It unfairly jacks up the health insurance costs of those who were responsible enough to get the vaccine. So if anyone refuses to get vaccinated it is fine with me, but I think that person should pay full price for medical treatment out of pocket; don't waste money from the insurance pool for something that could have been prevented in the first place.
Complacency is widespread in America and Europe when it comes to flu.....Just a non-issue....Severe flu only happens elsewhere....
It never ceases to amaze me that the WHO in collusion with the Pharmaceutical corporations typically begins to hype the imminent threat of a flu pandemic about this time every year; whilst abetting health ministers sagely nod their approval while stuffing their pockets. We wind up spending billions on vaccines that don't do anything; the last batch of vaccines that we were forced to purchase:
It is no wonder that the various doctors serving on in the WHO are wealthy beyond measure due to the reciprocal benefits they receive for supporting this alarmist propaganda about these annual flu outbreaks. There isn't any ADDITIONAL infection rate in the UK pertaining to flu. The number of patients being treated is representative of past seasons, neither greater than, or less than what we can expect in a typical year. So.....everyone run to your doctor and get injected with a vaccine that is formulated for profit rather than for actual treatment so that we can continue to perpetuate this massive health care fraud.
here we go again...!!!
Why is there no report on how many of these people DID get the flu shot and got it anyway? They want us to assume that these people ALL got sick because they weren't vaccinated... not likely.
Bingo.
Is this a news story or a vaccine advertisement? Shame on you.
Right -advert

I will bet that 95% of these flu victims had vitamin D levels below 120 nmol/l.
If you don't want to catch the flu and thus risk your life wake up, raise your circulating vitamin D level to 120-200 nmol/L and keep it there for life. This repletion range will provide virtual immunity from colds and flu.
This is well known and effective in the States.
This approach was found to be 800% better than the flu shot.
Period.
Chuck, do you have a reference for this information? I'd be interested to read the studies pertaining to this subject.
Thanks,
