Why Aren't These Important Questions Being Asked?

So far 81 children have died from H1N1 in the US. The death of any child is

tragic. However, using these deaths to potentially harm countless others who are

not naturally at risk may be even worse.

Here are some of the questions that need honest answers, as they may paint an

entirely different picture than what we are currently told by health officials

and the media.

How many pediatric deaths occurred in children who:

•Were positively lab confirmed as H1N1?

•Had underlying chronic immune and brain dysfunction?

•Were fully vaccinated according to CDC recommendations?

•Had received influenza vaccine this year?

•Had received seasonal influenza vaccine in previous years?

•Received Tamiflu or another anti-viral prior to death?

•Had a coinciding bacterial infection with H1N1?

•Were never vaccinated - totally unvaccinated?

With only 81 sets of medical records to review, someone ought to be able to

compile these statistics.

So far we know that, of the 36 children who died from H1N1 between April and

August of this year, 30 had some form of chronic health condition, and all of

them had a co-occurring bacterial infection.

Clearly, having a robust, well-functioning immune system is the best way to

ensure your body's innate ability to fight off this mild flu virus, and not

succumb to secondary infections such as staphylococcus aureus.

I'd also like to know how many flu deaths might be attributed to

antibiotic-resistant staph infections.

According to the Star Tribune, the most common co-occurring infection that

causes flu-related deaths is staphylococcus aureus, which is commonly found on

your skin and in your nose. About a third of the population carries it.

Unfortunately, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, also known as MRSA,

has become a serious public health problem, one that is getting progressively

worse and actually exacts a greater death toll than " modern plagues " like AIDS.

Needless to say, we already know the reason for the ever increasing threat of

MRSA – over use of antibiotics, both in medicine and conventional farming

practices. It's an entirely man-made problem, the answer to which is exercising

RESTRAINT in the use of antibiotics, so that they can actually work when

someone's life is really on the line…

It could be of great value to have more facts about each of these H1N1 flu

deaths.

But the fact still remains that flu vaccines will nearly always decrease your

overall immune function, not enhance it!

Obese at Six Times Higher Risk from H1N1 Complications

Most authorities agree that the H1N1 variant virus is quite mild. The vast

majority of people (99.99%) are having very brief and mild illnesses from this

virus. And yet, some people do die from it -- some die each and every flu

season. But who, and why?

Unfortunately, the media is not giving you the answers to these questions.

I will publish an excellent review, and a two-hour audio interview with Dr.

Blaylock on this issue on Tuesday, so please stay tuned! Because as he

will explain in greater detail, 100 percent of those who have died had

underlying health problems before they were infected.

In addition, one of the more powerful risk factors for being admitted to the ICU

and of dying is obesity.

Turns out obese people are admitted 6x more often than those of normal weight.

And obesity plays a significant role in the risk to children and pregnant women

as well, something that has never been discussed by the media, the CDC or the

public health officials.

According to Dr. Blaylock, one study found that 32.7% of those admitted to the

ICU had asthma or other chronic pulmonary disease, far higher than the general

population. Obesity is also associated with a high incidence of insulin

resistance and metabolic syndrome, both of which would increase your risk of

having a serious infection, even to mild viruses.

BEWARE: Taking Tylenol with the Flu Shot May Actually Make You Worse

According to two studies, published in the journal Lancet on October 17, giving

your child an analgesic to prevent fever when getting a vaccine could make

things worse.

Their studies showed that after vaccination, the immune response was lower among

babies who were given acetaminophen (such as Tylenol), right after they received

the shot.

The vaccines used in the study were for pneumococcal disease, Haemophilus

influenzae type b (Hib), diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, polio

and rotavirus. No flu vaccines were included. However, it's likely the effect

would still be the same.

MSN.com quotes infectious disease expert Dr. Marc Siegel as saying that:

" …the conclusion that Tylenol not only suppresses fever, but also decreases

immune response is plausible. After all, what is an immune response? It's an

inflammatory response. "

The researchers also found that although fewer infants developed a fever after

getting acetaminophen, they also developed significantly fewer antibodies

against the disease they were vaccinated against. They believe the

acetaminophen's anti-inflammatory activity might interfere with your body's

immune system antibody response, which could explain why the vaccine was

rendered less effective.

However, what is not mentioned by either MSN, or foodconsumer.org, who also ran

an article on these findings, is that a lowered immune response also means

you're more susceptible to develop other infections. And, as we now know, it is

secondary infections such as bacterial staph infections that turn out to be

deadly -- not the flu virus in and of itself.

You Take Your Chances Either Way…

I also want to stress that you must remember that you are taking your chances

either way, whether you get the flu shot or take your chances with the flu.

This year, flu deaths are trumpeted across the world, and yet people are also

dying and suffering life-altering disabilities shortly after receiving the flu

vaccine, whether it be the seasonal- or the H1N1 vaccine. (They're claimed to be

nearly identical anyway, so why would it matter which it is?)

For example, here are just a few recent stories that receive nowhere near the

same amount of attention. In fact, most if not all, are being portrayed as

unfortunate coincidences that have nothing to do with the fact they just

received a flu shot, and no further investigations are made:

•Five people recently died after getting flu shots in Korea

•The New York Times mentions an 8-year-old boy from Long Island who died roughly

a week after receiving a seasonal flu vaccine

•Twenty-five year old woman suffers irreversible disability after receiving the

flu shot

•Last year, a 6-year-old girl from Colorado died after getting the FluMist

vaccine

Remember, the medical industry ACCEPTS these occasional deaths as collateral

damage during mass vaccinations and other drug interventions.

The question is, do you?

Flu Mortality, Unrelated to Vaccines, Has Been Down for Years

Also remember that the mortality rate of the swine flu is extremely low.

Dr. Whitmont, M.D. reports in a recent article of The Epoch Times:

" So far, H1N1 is much less severe than the regular flu. The calculated mortality

rate for H1N1 in 2009 is only 0.5 percent.

In 2006, the death rate for influenza was 0.77 percent, and in 2005 it was 0.79

percent.

Of course, the CDC and the pharmaceutical industries claim credit for this

reduction in death rate, but statistical analysis shows that this trend predated

the introduction of the vaccine and is not correlated with either vaccine or

antiviral medication use. " [Emphasis mine.]

Unfortunately, no one knows what the mortality rate is within, say, two weeks of

receiving a flu vaccine, because there's no tracking method in place tracing

each and every person who is vaccinated.

These are the kind of statistics that are sorely needed.
