This is a DUH! moment if ever there was one.

They are about 2 months late.
The rest of us knew this was a pandemic 2 months ago.
These people are just about useless.
Why even have a pandemic scale if you are too afraid to use it when the time comes?

Its funny because for some reason I'm not worried...There are much worse diseases out there rite now. I have a feeling this is going to be a convenient way for the officials to force more toxic vaccines into our blood.

I'm a med student, my teachers have told me things you guys wouldn't dream of.

If you think your doctor knows whats best for you...THINK AGAIN

oooohhhh nooooo !!!! gooddd nooooo !!!!! save us from this terrible ........ flu ???? .... wait is this all it is ?? .... a flu. come on now. 12 people died ??? im sure more than that have died of starvation in as much time as i write this. one person every two seconds.

first the avian bird flu, ... now the swine flu. crazyness, ..... wake me up when something comes out called the plague of death, .... I'm tired of flu's named after animals, ....... of course unless its the notorious "bloody anus shifty squirrel flu " ...... aaha, i need some sleep.

I wonder how many of us on ATS, for how many months, have been calling this Level 6?

it must REALLY irk the WHO, Big Pharmas and CDC 9not to mention the governments involved and with vested interest in PROFIT) to be forced to devlare Level 6 before a vaccine is ready to be sold to people at 20 or 30 bucks a shot. Just IMAGINE the billions of dollars they're going to have to WAIT to receive......

Sorry- I think the whole scenario is becoming to cynical for me at present

The World Health Organisation is expected to officially declare a swine flu pandemic after an emergency meeting in Geneva this morning.


The world is currently in phase five of the pandemic alert scale, and moving to six would trigger a large scale production of vaccines.

I think there's our answer.
The WHO has been poked and prodded enough by the multinational pharmaceutical corporations - they're giving in and calling it a global pandemic.

Which is convenient, as many governments around the world have promised to buy shedloads of vaccines if that happened.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the pharmacorps tax for 1 does of Tamiflu is nigh on $100.. if thats the case, and the UK buys enough to vaccinate half its population (which I believe is the plan, 30 million doses or summat), then we're looking at $3,000,000,000 for whoever owns Tamiflu right there...

And thats just for ONE "more economically developed country", as a geography teacher would call it these days.

I'm not sure that any kind of forced vaccination will go over too well in the US. People seem on edge and are violent.

What happens when they take forced vaccinations to the "hood" or some gang banger areas.

Also, think about this for a minute. Why should anyone take a mandatory vaccine while the borders stay wide open?

It seems that, in my zeal to find info on the WHO meeting, I missed this thread- my apologies.

Great research, and thanks for going easy on me for thinking i fond it on the web before others had. I should know better than to think that you all who are veteran researchers- wouldn't beat me too it!!!

I hope that at some point, severity of illness DOES come into play- because the length of time of illness before deaths IS changing- again- hpoing WHO is vigilant in this process, to save lives and do right by the globe, rather than being reactive and beuocratic.

cheers,

Not worried about H1N1
Up in Santa Fe NM they've confirmed a third case of bubonic plague...
one 8 YO boy died from it... you get it from a flea bite... and we get spikes of plague cases in wet years and this year is turning out to be one of those

This so called "pandemic" exists in the mind only. It is "new-speak" of the book "1984". It is meant to be used as a means to further limit individual freedom and allow TPTB to rule by decree. With this they can now limit travel, open assembly, commerce, etc. But it is all in the mind. 141 deaths and most caused by complications and not the flu, it should open people's eyes wide open.

Do not fear, this flu cannot hurt you, it's no more than a bad cold and they know it. Next time you get the chance to vote, vote for the person that cherishes freedom. Then maybe we can have enough of the hoaxes such as the imaginary gloom and doom economic collapse and the "swine cold".

BTW, let it be known here that I was the first to rename the swine flu the "swine cold".

It is here. I wish they wouldnt put out these "we will announce later on" type articles tho.

If they are going to 6 then just goto 6 there and then :/

Let them do what they want. The flu is only a threat to those who let it be.

Is that really the case? Do the not have a protocol to follow, ie REX 84?

Im not so worried about the disease, just what it brings with it.

The WHO indicates the Pandemic level rating system is based on geographics, not intensity of deaths.

What I am more concerned about, are the global interventions that must not be implemented to "contain" this virus. I CAN NOT find anything at the WHO, DHS, or UN websites that indicate what works "have been planned for months leading up to a pandemic level 6."

Is it simply required immunizations?
Travel bans to other countries/continents?
Reduced work hours?
Restricted public events of mass gatherings?

DHS Napolitano says they have been planning for the inevitable level 6 for months.

Do we have anything to fear, or will the world's countries/states carry-on with normal business?

So now it is Level 6 officially ... I am curious to see what effect this has on travel etc.
The Confed Cup and World Cup in South Africa are almost upon us ...

poor South Africa ... we really need the tourism.
