W.H.O Warns of Severe Form of H1N1 Virus

That looks to be a mortality rate in the US of 0.27%

Look at the WHO site itself. The mortality rate in the <25 year old crowd is massively higher than it should be (granted it's still not THAT high). That's the worrying part. It's killing otherwise health people. Can't find it now; they change that website entirely almost daily.

The WHO covers all countries, including those without adequate health care systems, correct?

The "severe" form is H1N1 is caused when you take the vaccine. The vaccine impedes your immune system, allowing secondary bacterial infections to take place that you could otherwise fight off.

Where have you seen that? What vaccine is causing this? The vaccine is not in use yet, so how can this "severe form" be caused by any vaccine?

Beef up your immune system with the well researched vitamin D, and defend yourself against the flu.

Excellent advice. Keep healthy by eating a good balanced diet, get plenty of exercise, and adequate sleep.

In particular, one study appearing in these search results is entitled Epidemic influenza and vitamin D. It was published in 2006 in the journal Epidemiology and Infection (2006, 134:6:1129-1140 Cambridge University Press) and its abstract reads as follows:

In 1981, R. Edgar Hope-Simpson proposed that a 'seasonal stimulus' intimately associated with solar radiation explained the remarkable seasonality of epidemic influenza. Solar radiation triggers robust seasonal vitamin D production in the skin; vitamin D deficiency is common in the winter, and activated vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D, a steroid hormone, has profound effects on human immunity. 1,25(OH)2D acts as an immune system modulator, preventing excessive expression of inflammatory cytokines and increasing the 'oxidative burst' potential of macrophages. Perhaps most importantly, it dramatically stimulates the expression of potent anti-microbial peptides, which exist in neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells, and in epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract where they play a major role in protecting the lung from infection. Volunteers inoculated with live attenuated influenza virus are more likely to develop fever and serological evidence of an immune response in the winter. Vitamin D deficiency predisposes children to respiratory infections. Ultraviolet radiation (either from artificial sources or from sunlight) reduces the incidence of viral respiratory infections, as does cod liver oil (which contains vitamin D). An interventional study showed that vitamin D reduces the incidence of respiratory infections in children. We conclude that vitamin D, or lack of it, may be Hope-Simpson's 'seasonal stimulus'.

In the case of the susceptible newborn infant and toddler, multiple exposures to mercury-containing and multiple antigen vaccines are highly suspect in the causation of multiple organ injury (Bernard et al. 2000). The GI tract, the liver, the pancreas, the kidneys, the immune system, and the brain are major sites of mercury absorption. Researchers have clearly shown a chronic inflammatory bowel disease due to vaccine strain measles in a subset of children with autism (Thompson et al. 1995; Wakefield et al. 1995, 1999, 2000a,b; Kawashima et al. 2000; Pardi et al. 2000; Uhlmann et al. 2002).

2.The flu vaccines, as well as all other vaccines contain mercury, which is a seriously health compromising heavy metal. Vaccines contain Thimerosal, which is made up of mercury. The amount of mercury contained in a multi-dose flu shot is 250 times higher in mercury than what is legally classified as hazardous waste. Side affects of mercury toxicity are vast and include depression, memory loss, attention deficit disorder, anger, oral cavity disorders, digestive disorder, anxiety, cardiovascular problems, respiratory issues, thyroid and other glandular imbalances, and low immune system to name a few.

So What About Cytokine Storms?

Another factor in the 1918 flu pandemic death rate was the cytokine storm. A cytokine storm results in lungs so damaged that the flu victim may die. Cytokine production is normally a good thing. It is the result of the immune system's reacting to pathogenic or viral invasions. The white blood cells produce an assortment of cytokines to attack the invaders. Occasionally, there appears a viral strain that is so energetically invasive and virulent that it over stimulates the cytokine production. Then the cells of healthy tissues are attacked by the cytokines.

Supposedly, because of their already strong immune systems, this is more common among young and healthy types who are exposed to one of these unusually aggressive viral strains. The H1N1 or "bird flu" is among those few virulent strains. It is not yet known if this swine flu version is of the same ilk. Many have speculated that its origin is man made, perhaps as a bioweapon. After all, it is an unusual combination of swine, bird, and human flu strains.

< 50 year olds have not been exposed to enough of the bits and pieces of H1N1 genetic material, that seniors have been, to enable any immunity.

So we should reasonably expect that those younger than 50 will gain benefit from a properly constructed vaccine; enabling immunity.

Yeah, that's what I have been hearing, that folks born before 1957 are at about zero risk. And that's me! Hooray!:celebrate

However, I DO have a problem with everybody getting health care advice from the WHO. Hell, Pete Townsend isn't even that hot a guitarist, Keith Moon is dead and....what? Oh, well thank you Ms. Curtin......never mind......

But, at 48, I better beef up my immunes! :? I'ze gonta die?

Yes, and sooner than later, thank the Lord. But those that die in the Lord shall live in the Lord.

You mistake me. It was not an offer. It is a 'thanks' for relieving us of your miserable existence, sooner than later thanks be to God.
