I found something interesting in the news today. The CDC has admitted that they stopped tracking "Swine Flu" numbers in July. They are now using the same methods they use for regular influenza. Methods that many say are inadequate.

Sf Gate short article

longer version


U.S. health officials have lost track of how many illnesses and deaths have been caused by the first global flu epidemic in 40 years.

And they did it on purpose.

Government doctors stopped counting swine flu cases in July, when they estimated more than 1 million were infected in this country. . .

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is relying on a patchwork system of gathering death and hospitalization numbers. Some states are reporting lab-confirmed cases. Others report illnesses that could be the new swine flu, seasonal flu or some other respiratory disease.

Some say that's a more sensible approach than only counting lab-confirmed cases. Many people who got sick never get tested, so the tally of swine flu cases was off almost from the very beginning, they say. . .


My question is simple. If they aren't testing for the difference between H1N1 and seasonal flu or pneumonia, how do they know H1N1 isn't fading out? If they aren't counting isn't it possible the virus has already peaked and vaccination is pointless?

The CDC even says that after the initial panic the number of people being tested for H1N1 dropped off severely. Could that mean that they stopped counting because the numbers no longer panicked people enough?

I guess when all of those college students were coming down with H1N1 in August and September we really don't know if that was it or not. People weren't checking or keeping track anymore.

Interesting that they can openly admit that they lie to people and mislead people and no one cares.
