I cannot speak for other regions of the US, but in my area (upper mid-west) we got hit with H1N1 hard about three weeks ago. We are currently in the decline. Vaccinations started a little over a week and 1/2 ago. I don't believe vaccines had any to do with the outbreak as it started prior to the vaccinations. Many children ended up in hospital for a day or two. I know of one case that was taken out of state because he was so severe. There may have been others. I am a teacher and had students that were so sick that they could hardly walk due to lung issues. Every day for three weeks, I heard coughing everywhere and lots of pneumonia cases diagnosed. Funny the doctors would tell patients you have pneumonia etc.. but would not state it had anything to do with the flu. However, in MSM reports they would state that as a generalization. I guess doctors felt a patient might find comfort to think they have pneumonia but not h1n1?? I stayed well despite being surrounded by coughing, sick kids. I believe I owe that to Vitamin D and C!

Furthermore, the President of Ukraine basically says that virologists think the virus has mutated (without actually saying it), and they think it is due to the 3 forms of influenza that has hit their country (which is unlike most other countries, only being hit by h1n1 at this point).

This is really an interesting development, because two days ago, I started watching that video by that physician/nun in Spain, (can't remember her name) and she said that the H1N1 vaccine contained 3 live viruses, if I remember correctly.
And the Baxter batch of vaccines sent to the Ukraine killed all the weasles it was injected into in their final QC check. When they went to test the batch to find out why, it was discovered it was because it contained 3 different live viruses.
Forgive me if I'm remembering this wrong....but I'm pretty sure that's what that doctor said.
Am I remembering this correctly?
So....3 different live viruses in the Ukraine vaccine batch....3 different flu viruses show up in the Ukraine at once (highly unusual?).....seems to me we have another amazing coincidence!

Thought you guys might be interested in hearing this. A few pages back, a few of us were theorizing whether or not vaccinating a region could make an epidemic happen faster, or make a virus mutate faster.
Well, here in Arizona, the H1N1 flu vaccine just became available last week, I think. Before that, we did not have one patient in my hospital as a flu patient, not did I see any orders for anti-virals here in the hospital where I work.
This week, the week after they started the H1N1 vaccinations in my city, we got patients admitted with influenza. Boy....that was fast.
Was it a coincidence that the flu hit my city about a week after the vaccines were started? Was it a coincidence that we got the first patients on antivirals about a week after the vaccinations started? I don't know. I'm sure the WHO and the CDC would say that we got the vaccine "in the knick of time"....right when flu season started...but my gut is telling me that the vaccinations might have kick started the flu season, instead.
Anyway, all of this made me think....anyone know if Asen said if the H1N1 vaccine was given in his area anytime recently?
EDIT TO ADD:
Just to clarify, it is not unusual to have patients admitted to the hospital for flu during flu season. I'm just questioning the timing of the fact that the first patients don't get admitted to my hospital until the vaccinations got underway.
Also, my hospital could also be an abnormality...I don't know what the statistics are in the other hospitals in the area. They may have had flu patients before the vaccinations started.

Eco, I have come to the conclusion that you will not entertain the idea that this has mutated until CNN tells you it has.
Their own president is basically SAYING it has mutated, he thinks it may have mutated before it even GOT to Ukraine, analysts from this country are saying it probably mutated. The clusters of hemorrhagic symptoms can only be explained by a mutation.
But no, it was the nuclear plant that blew up 23 years ago and magically only dusted the people in major urban areas across the whole country, and skipping all the areas in between. That's whats causing the clusters of hemorrhagic symptoms... Right.
That theory fits perfectly with the "1000s of mini H-bombs that use cold fusion" blew up the twin towers scenario.

I just posted a reply to someone else explaining this very same thing. I work in an ER in the Pacific Northwest and our surge started less than a week after the Flu Mist was started. That was about three weeks ago...and we now seem to be seeing a decline in patients.

Is it truly a decline in patients?
Or is it in response to the doctors in the media telling everyone to stay home unless you're REALLY REALLY sick...?
HOw many people will die because they don't think they're REALLY REALLY sick?

It's funny because there are so many skeptics out there and some of them will probably survive. I will personally hunt them down.
