Good News!



Seriously Good Reading!

A series of articles in The Tech Herald on The WHO and the
idea that they created this "novel" H1N1 virus:

Novartis’s Swine Flu Vaccine Works in Single Dose

A single dose of Novartis AG’s cell culture-based swine flu vaccine provoked a strong immune response and was well tolerated in a trial of 100 healthy volunteers.

Results from the tests showed that it was possible to induce protective antibodies against the H1N1 virus within two weeks of giving a single low-dose vaccine, Novartis said in an e-mailed statement today.

Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis SA and GlaxoSmithKline Plc are among the drugmakers hurrying to make the hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine needed to fight the new H1N1 influenza strain. Authorities in the U.S. and U.K. have predicted two shots would probably be needed, a regimen that would reduce the number of people who could be protected before the northern hemisphere’s winter. Antibody responses were highest in patients who received two doses of the vaccine, which included an aluminum-based chemical called an adjuvant, Novartis said.

Swine Flu Immunity May Be Delayed by Vaccine Choice

Americans may need two vaccine doses instead of one to be immunized against swine flu because officials plan to exclude ingredients used to boost immune responses in shots made by Novartis AG and GlaxoSmithKline Plc.

Novartis AG today reported that a single dose of its vaccine, which relies on a shot-boosting ingredient known as an adjuvant, safely provoked a strong immune response in a trial of 100 healthy volunteers. The formulation favored by the U.S. doesn’t use an adjuvant, and a second vaccine dose is more likely to be required, said Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The U.S. paid Novartis, based in Basel, Switzerland, and London-based Glaxo more than $415 million for emergency stockpiles of adjuvant, which isn’t approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Vaccines are slated to arrive in mid- October, a time that health officials say could be the peak of outbreaks. A second dose would need to be given three weeks after the first, delaying immunity.

“We expect that the likelihood of needing two doses of vaccine that’s not adjuvanted is higher than with an adjuvanted vaccine,” Frieden said today in a conference call. “We don’t anticipate that we’ll be using adjuvanted vaccine in most of the scenarios that we anticipate now, though that could change.”

Swine Flu Precautions Urged for Child-Care Facilities

Child-care facilities should prepare for outbreaks of swine flu and seasonal influenza, and parents and caregivers should plan to keep sick kids at home, according to guidance by U.S. health officials.

Care providers should clean surfaces, encourage staff to get vaccinated, promote hand washing and check kids for signs of illness, said Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. secretary for health and human services, in a conference call today. Sick children and caregivers should stay home for 24 hours after a fever subsides without the use of fever-reducing medication, she said.

Sporadic outbreaks of swine flu, also known as H1N1, are being reported across the U.S., with the highest concentrations in the Southeast, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta. U.S. health officials plan a vaccination campaign for mid-October that will focus on the most-affected patient groups. Those include children, people who live or work with infants, pregnant women, and adults with underlying health conditions.

“Vaccination is our best barrier against a new virus strain and against the seasonal flu,” Sebelius said. “The vaccines, we believe, are safe, and by the time H1N1 is ready to go, we will know it’s safe.”

Children younger than 6 months aren’t eligible for flu vaccinations, so family members and caregivers should shield infants against the flu by getting inoculated, according to the CDC.

Cow Urine, Herbal Remedies Gain as India Swine Flu Deaths Climb

The rising death toll from swine flu in India is driving some people to buy remedies made of cow- urine extract, clarified butter and herbal potions to ward off the disease, as the government restricts Tamiflu and other drugs.

Since India reported its first swine flu death in the western city of Pune on Aug. 3, more than 100 people have died from the virus. The government is controlling access to Roche AG’s Tamiflu antiviral to ensure hospital supplies in case of an epidemic. Residents have switched to traditional Ayurvedic healing, used for hundreds of years to boost immunity, as well as unproven remedies being sold to take advantage of the outbreak, doctors say.

HI BTS and all, I just wanted to say that inmy small community, people are just going on with illness as if its just the sniffles.

It has me a bit bummed out, even my sons GF came by a few minutes ago saying that her brother wanted to come over even though his kids were all sick, she was not strong enough and allowed them over, now 2 days later she is sicker than she has been in years, she told me that after she had spent 15 minutes in my home around my family.

I asked her what her symptoms are and what is weird is that she could could have it, or not.

Well I broke out the bleach and started scrubbing as soon as she left, but wow, she said that they would be over tomorrow, I said no, stay home if you are sick!

At my childrens school they report kids coughing their brains out in class and sniffling, sneezing and just generally ill.

In my sons highschool lass (16) he says 4 kids are out, have gone home or have been out for days. In the elementary school kids out, but many with working parents, just go on to school sick.

The local TV is spewing out info on getting your shots, as if that is all that is needed. Schools are saying wash your hands, but what good does that do when kids are there sick? It is airborn.

I dont know, I can understand why the public health will need to declare quarantine. People just wont comply with good old common sense anymore, or did they ever?

How do I keep my family healthy when people are lame?

Hi Antar,

People seem to have lost common sense about everything...
Self quarantine is good, I am all for that. I hope the Government keeps out of the quarantine stuff, that will create an unnaccpetable catylst for disaster this fall.

Stay well!

Swine Flu: Path to Martial Law?

Remember President Obama’s Executive Order basing 80,000 active troops at home for the first time in the history of the peacetime military establishment to “help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack….”

Now connect that information to the recent announcement that the military has established regional deployment locations all across the United States to “assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.”

Civil unrest and crowd control? Significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall? What do they know that we don’t?......

......Global swine flu deaths topped just 1,000 this year.

But President Obama is predicting death tolls of 90,000 and possible infection of up to half the US population.

While every life matters, in statistical terms swine flu is a comparatively minor problem, which makes the hype by those in government and the military all the more suspicious.....

A recent US Army War College Report even outlined the conditions under which martial law could be introduced, listing:

…unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters are all paths to disruptive domestic shock. Report Here

.......The President has even proven willing to use healthcare reform to target the elderly, recasting human life in terms of the collective good. The White House has even urged fellow citizens to inform on opponents of Obama’s healthcare bill. In this environment, the prospect of martial law doesn’t sound that far-fetched.

But isn’t this unconstitutional? No matter. The Constitution means nothing to President Obama, who has repeatedly implied the need to “break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution….”

Thomas Jefferson had a different view:

Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism...In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.

But when the President considers the Constitution to be nothing more than an archaic suggestion, no travesty is unthinkable. And the unthinkable is only a manufactured flu pandemic away. I desperately hope I am wrong in connecting these dots, but in light of the President’s stated agenda, and his known track record on ethical issues, the possibility of abuses must be considered. After all, stranger things have happened.

Possible 1st swine flu death investigated in N.W.T.

A Fort Simpson, N.W.T., man who died earlier this week might have had swine flu, the N.W.T. Health Department confirmed Thursday.

A department spokesman told CBC News that a swab has been taken from the man and is being sent out for tests. Such types of tests take about five days.

It's the first suspected death from the H1N1 influenza virus in the Northwest Territories. In neighbouring Nunavut, a woman died from swine flu in July.

CDC: Swine flu accounts for 98% of current flu cases

Federal health officials say the flu is going around unusually early this year, And they say nearly all of the infections are swine flu.

The Centers for Disease control says the flu has already shown up in every state this season. 98 percent of the cases are h1n1, commonly known as the "swine flu."

The seasonal flu normally hits older people harder, but cases of the swine flu are mainly in children and young adults.

Orwellian tech erasing civil rights, raising H1N1 vaccine questions

As the public questions H1N1 vaccine content, it's been another Orwellian packed two weeks "with technology running at a faster pace than Superman" states Greg Nick, director of two groups, Mankind vs VeriChip and We The People Will Not Be Chipped.

These groups participate in empowering learning opportunities for making wise decisions about matters such as human chipping.

The VeriChip is implanted with a syringe, raising concern about the H1N1 vaccine since independent researchers have debunked that there is a pandemic (Dina Rosendorff for PM, Australian Broadcasting Company, August 18, 2009) and there is a hard-sell vaccine marketing campaign aimed at fifty percent of Americans willingly accepting the H1N1 vaccine.

Independent researchers such a those associated with the Center for Research on Globalization concur that the H1N1 exercise is a global military based operation using pharmacological warfare

Nano Particles used in Untested H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccines

Vaccines which have been approved by the responsible government authorities for vaccination against the alleged H1N1 Influenza A Swine Flu have been found to contain nano particles. Vaccine makers have been experimenting with nanoparticles as a way to “turbo charge” vaccines for several years. Now it has come out that the vaccines approved for use in Germany and other European countries contain nanoparticles in a form that reportedly attacks healthy cells and can be deadly.

As a reader of ATS, an evaluation of the swine flu was made that shook me to the core.

In short...the G-20 meeting is to be used for a transfer of weaponized swine flu/vaccine........!!

First.... google g-20 security..... a de facto martial law.
This led me to ask why Pittsburgh......why not Las Vegas....?? At least the G-20 could drop a few billion $ on the casino's there.....LOL

Second......google G-20 summit ...up come UPMC
www.upmc.com ...

"An integrated global health enterprise"

UPMC IS the HQ for the media at this meeting.....

Third....see Medical Milestones.....home of Jonas Salk, organ transplants, and psychiatry, and swine flu researcher Don Burke
Fourth ....timing......at the very beginning of Flu season..

Question....is UPMC Media Center the transfer point into or out of
for weaponized swine flu vaccine through diplomatic pouches for a worldwide pandemic, or a 911 type biowarfare attack on the USA.

Keep in mind that a 1% reduction in the US population, (which 4% of the world utilizes 25% of the world's oil) could reduce the world oil consumption by 10%!!! This would setback the alt-energy field, and free up oil for the BRIC counties.

Also, if developed in a deep abandoned Pittsburgh coal mine, could be easily contained with a few explosives.

Also, a major supplier of the swine flu vaccine to the US, Novartis, is HQ in the same city as the BIS (Bank of International Settlements... www.bis.org... )

Thoughts....we have motive, resources, and timing....

Please seriously consider this posting as we only have a week or so left to handle this....

Why Millions of Americans Don't Need a Swine Flu Vaccine

The FDA has now suddenly granted approval to four different H1N1 vaccines, all on the same day! With virtually no testing, these fast-tracked vaccines are now approved for use on everyone: Infants, children, adults, senior citizens and even expectant mothers. But does everyone really need these vaccines?

According to the CDC, by June of 2009, one million Americans had already been exposed to H1N1 swine flu. Although the CDC hasn't released official infection statistics in recent months, with the rapid spread of the mild virus, it's not unreasonable to suspect that by now, three months later, the number of Americans who have been exposed to H1N1 swine flu has at least doubled to two million.

As most of you are already aware, I broke a story seven months ago in which I described a discussion I had with a friend in the health care profession at a major mid-western hospital. This person told me about the delivery of stainless steel wrist band type bracelets that carried the hardware for uploading, tracking and broadcasting uniquely personal encoded information. These bands were to be used in the event of massive inoculations or other disaster events in which large numbers of people would be vaccinated and then tracked. I also stated that plans for roadblock enforcement of these issued bands was a component of emergency planning already on the federal and state police shelves, for use when those state or federal agencies called for blockades on the movement of people. I further mentioned that the “bracelets” would be encoded on the spot with tools similar to those used by UPS when packages are delivered and scanned by the driver.

I would not release my source for fear of severe retaliation being waged against this individual for obvious reasons. On September 15th, we were contacted by a friend who said check out the Boston Globe article that has validated every shred of information that I gave earlier this year. The company that is at the forefront of supplying the City of Boston’s Health Services Department with this very device is EMSystems of Milwaukee, Wi.
