Swineflu HOAX update: European Council to investigate WHO pandemia warnings According to this (spanish mainstream) magazine I was just reading, (http://xlsemanal.finanzas.com/web/articulo.php?id=52218&id_edicion=4887&salto_pagina=0) there is going to be in investigation, from the "European...

Finally I can get the vaccine for my daughter, she is 6 years old. The vaccines are Pandemrix and/or Celvapan. I'm not sure we will be able to choose, but in case we can.. is there proof about one being better/having less side effects, etc than the other?

Can one strain of flu "crowd out" others? I had thought that the presence of one strain would have no effect on the prevalence of others, but apparently this might not be true. Swine Flu Means Killer Winter Influenza May Not Come

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091029125538.htm I wonder if simply drinking and eating them offers any protection? On a side note, I have been unable to find the swine flu vaccine... but I can get the seasonal one.. will it offer some kind of protection? From scattered reports...

Grist to the mill for Alex Jones, USA declaring a state of emergency over swine 'flu. I'm assuming this is correct. If so, it must rank as one of the worst declarations of a state of emergency of all time. I accept some different measures my be needed, but it's been adequately shown that swine...

Rima Laibow is at it again. http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3617 Now, their whole argument seems based on an irrational fear of squalene, which is disscussed in depth in this thread. http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155500 To quote NobbyNobbs: I look forward...

http://www.suntimes.com/news/steinberg/1819625,CST-NWS-stein12.article Maybe we should send him a few letters thanking him. It's always a good idea to show support for skeptical writers. Especially given the number of letters he probably got from conspiracy loons calling him naive/ a shill/...

Most who die from new H1N1 flu had conditions: CDC Near half of [hospitalized] swine flu patients otherwise healthy These are both reports in Yahoo on the same day about the same medical report from CDC. In the first article it says: Technically "most" had an underlying medical condition. But...

NY Times Article The pictures in the article really tell the story. Hitchens' commentary The high price of stupidity.

And anyone else who wants to chime in. Last week my neighbor's 14 year old was diagnosed with 2009H1N1. The boy's physician told them Tamiflu was being reserved for high risk patients only and the doc did not prescribe the drug for the boy. I don't see it that way and I wrote him a script...

For some reason they stopped tested folks for H1N1 in our area (my mother-in-law is a nurse in the area and she said because of cost considerations)--but they continued testing anyone under one. My daughter, 10 months old, was really sick and we had to take her to the hospital. They did the...

I don't know what possessed me, but I just read this article over at the David Icke forums... A Strengthened Virus and A Police State Holy batcrap! :boggled: I think the guy's off his nut - completely off his nut. But what's truly scary is I've met some people who actually believe his...

It appears that the Youtube Account of leading Australian sceptic Richard Saunders has been suspended over a copyright claim. Saunders, possibly best known for his stint as the sceptical judge on "The One, a sort of "psychic idol" show, had posted a clip from a Channel 10 morning show in which...

Ok my mother does church work at a trailor park with illegal immigrant Mexicans. She caught the flu and I caught it from her. We have both recovered. The symptoms are low grade fever and coughing up massive amounts of phlem. It lasted six days but overall its not as bad as the regular...

At first, Tamiflu was the magic elixir to defend against the raging dragon of pandemic flu. However, as with most drugs, effects also bring side-effects. And when the disease itself is not quite the raging dragon it was originally feared to be, cost-benefit analyses may start to look less...

I'm sorry but todays headline at Haaretz was too stupid to refuse to share it: Dozens of rabbis fly over Israel praying to defeat swine flu

David Icke has a few things to say about swine flu. The article begins... And that's where the calm rationalism ends in an entertaining 4000-word story of global mass-consipiracy. (couldn't see this posted elsewhere)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/06/11/DI2009061102547.html This disease has killed how many people so far?

http://in.movies.yahoo.com/news-detail/51787/Michael-Jackson-delays-Britain-trip-amid-swine-flu.html In the meantime, he's still in our country. This is a blow to all those hoping he'd pull a Madonna and become a UKOGBANIian.

I get vaccinated most years against seasonal flu, but I have seen comments about how ineffective it is. I've not paid close enough attention to draw my own conclusion, but have simply assumed that if the NHS has decided it's a good thing for vulnerable patients then I'd like some of that...

Whos got the most to gain by this flu hype. The drug companies of course. They are talking about the US having enough tamaflu for every american. CHING CHING!! Talk about hype. The flu kills all sorts of people every year. But the press doesnt cover every case. Now give a cool name like...

I moved a bit away from my planned lectures on environmental science for my two freshmen biology sections to focus on this current and very teachable event, and thought that other educators may find these lecture notes and resources useful. First off, the google swine flu map provides an...

The US government is treating it like its going to be.

As you may have heard, there's a flu epidemic in Mexico which is causing quite a bit of a scare. Even more scary is this email that not one, but two loons sent to the missus (translated from Spanish into English for your convenience): (If the English version at times does not seem to make...
