I am NO EXPERT. Having said that, This seemed like an interesting take on the swine flu...
excerpt:
WHO and CDC Pandemic Preparedness Seriously Broken
The pandemic warning system has failed as it simply doesn't exist, even in North America and Europe. To improve the system, massive new investments in surveillance, scientific and regulatory infrastructure, basic public health, and global access to common sense interventions like vitamin D optimization are required.
According to the Washington Post, the CDC did not learn about the outbreak until six days after Mexico had begun to impose emergency measures. There should be no excuses. The paradox of this swine flu panic is that, while totally unexpected, it was accurately predicted. Six years ago, Science dedicated a major story to evidence that "after years of stability, the North American swine flu virus has jumped onto an evolutionary fasttrack".
However, maybe this is precisely what public health authorities desire.
This is NOT the First Swine Flu Panic
My guess is that you can expect to see a lot of panic over this issue in the near future. But the key is to remain calm -- this isn't the first time the public has been warned about swine flu. The last time was in 1976, right before I entered medical school and I remember it very clearly. It resulted in the massive swine flu vaccine campaign.
Do you happen to recall the result of this massive campaign?

Where did This Mysterious New Animal-Human Flu Strain Come From?
Alongside the fear-mongering headlines, I've also seen increasing numbers of reports questioning the true nature of this virus. And rightfully so.
Could a mixed animal-human mutant like this occur naturally? And if not, who made it, and how was it released?
Not one to dabble too deep in conspiracy theories, I don't have to strain very hard to find actual facts to support the notion that this may not be a natural mutation, and that those who stand to gain have the wherewithal to pull off such a stunt. ... same site.
Once again, I don't know what to believe, but this was an interesting read.
And now in Maryland, children were forced to have vaccinations? Forced as in with police and dogs??!! Maryland wassup?! (this is unrelated to swine flu, etc. as far as I know)

Miriam, fear will spread the virus faster than the actual flu virus.
Science is slow to recognize a mind/body connection where illness and the spread of disease are concerned.
I'm doing my part by not panicking, nor dwelling on the doomsday scenarios that the mass media is portraying.
Domino!!!! You're back! Welcome back.
"Welcome back."
Thanks, Miriam. It's good to be missed.
