Business/Economics, Idaho, Influenza

U.S. Food Crisis, April 2015: “…it hit me like a bag of rocks!” McDonald’s crashing & burning! “…cannot afford another two years of substantial losses.” State of emergency declared over food supply! U.S. ice cream can kill you!

Incomplete list of announced United States food supply shutdowns for the month of April, 2015: Many food suppliers/distributors are consolidating operations and killing jobs due to the collapsing grocery store and restaurant industries, as well as rising costs of food production, and spread of disease.

“We will have to develop stricter bio-security measures to eliminate any possible contact between migratory waterfowl…..and our commercial farms.”-Simon Shane, North Carolina State University, interviewed on Nightly Business Report about massive H5N2 outbreak

China, Republic of Korea (aka South Korea), Taiwan, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda have banned U.S. poultry products.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has banned imports of poultry products from Canada.  The USDA implied the H5N2 outbreak in the U.S. might be linked to Canadian poultry.  Taiwan and Japan have banned Canadian poultry.

U.S. based Albertsons-Safeway announced it will shutdown it’s King Edward Street warehouse in Winnipeg, Canada, by 2016.  At least 172 jobs lost!

Bermuda based booze maker Bacardi announced it will layoff about 80 people in North America, including the United States. It’s blamed on crashing booze sales.

Arkansas: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.

California:  Poultry industry hit by H5N2.  Albertsons-Vons announced it will shutdown its Riverside La Sierra Plaza Vons and two Bakersfield Vons in May, because they are “not meeting company goals.”   In Fresno, Charlotte’s BakerEatery sold to competitor Dusty Buns.  After more than 50 years San Francisco’s iconic Capp’s Italian Dinners Family Style shutdown.  The owners blame the greedy landlord and legalities with insurance for their closure.  In Sherman Oaks, Jerry’s Famous Deli issued a WARN saying they will shutdown in June, 60 jobs lost.  In San Jose, NYC Food and Beverage issued a shutdown WARN for June, 144 jobs lost!  Seafood supplier Prospect Enterprises issued multiple WARNs saying at least 130 people will become jobless in July! The seafood distribution ops of Prospect Enterprises were taken over by rival Santa Monica Seafood.

Colorado: In Denver, Texas based Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group announced they will shutdown the 15 years old Wazee Street Sullivan’s Steakhouse at the end of May.  They do not want to renew the lease.

Connecticut: The Carmen Anthony Restaurant Group shutdown two steak restaurants, one in Waterbury and one in New Haven.  At least 70 jobs lost.  The Carmen Anthony Restaurant Group blames Mother Nature, ongoing road construction and the suck-ass economy: “The challenges of this relentless downturn of our fragile economy, in addition to Phase I of road construction that lasted approx 28 months on Chase Avenue, directly in front of my Waterbury Steakhouse, has caused me a tremendous hardship and substantial unrecoverable financial losses. Phase II of this road widening construction has started up again in April 2015 and is projected to last approximately another two years or more to complete this project. I cannot afford another two years of substantial losses. These challenges alone were very difficult to manage but adding this year’s disastrous winter was the last straw that I could not overcome. January, February and March are normally difficult months but this year’s extremely cold weather and snow storms, most of which fell on weekends where I do 30 to 40% of my sales, was devastating.”

Florida:  Albertsons issued a WARN saying they will shutdown their Clearwater grocery store in May, 86 jobs lost.  After 40 years the Siesta Market shutdown in Sarasota.  In Niceville, food service company Sodexo issued a WARN saying 176 people will become unemployed in June!

Idaho: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.  State administrators deny the reports.

Illinois: Oak Brook based McDonald’s crashing & burning in the U.S. of A!  McDonald’s administrators report their profits fell $400-million USD during their 1st quarter of 2015, their biggest profit decline ever!  As a result they will begin shutting down hundreds of U.S. restaurants!   And in Japan McDonald’s is crashing & burning as well. Administrators say the economy is so bad in the east Asian country that they expect to lose between $210-million to $318-million USD by the end of the year (at least triple their losses last year),  so, they will shutdown 131 Japanese stores, more than 1-thousand jobs affected, and they will layoff about 1-hundred jobs at their Tokyo HQ!  They blame logistical problems getting reliable food!  Globally, McDonald’s says they will shutdown a total of 7-hundred stores this year!  In Normal, That’s So Sweet cheesecake shop shutdown, the owner blamed it on her pregnancy which made it difficult to commute to her Normal store.  In East Saint Louis, grocery store Schnucks shutdown on State Street.  Company administrators refused to explain why.  Central Beverage issued a WARN saying 124 employees are now unemployed!  It’s blamed on the company’s takeover by Lakeshore Beverage.   Airline food supplier Flying Food Fare Midway issued a WARN saying 32 people will become jobless in May.   In Old Irving Park, Mirabell German restaurant shutdown after 38 years of operations, apparently due to the death of the chef.

Indiana: Administrators with Marsh Supermarket announced they will shutdown stores in Lafayette, Mooresville, Fishers and Indianapolis!  They claim the grocery stores “do not meet our business requirements regarding sales or future growth potential”.

Iowa: 5.3-million laying hens will be culled due to an outbreak of H5N2, 3.8-million have already died!  Iowa is the largest supplier of chicken eggs to the U.S. food market, gov’na Scott Walker declared a State of Emergency and called up the National Guard: “Anybody that has a poultry operation, whether large or small, whether you’ve got hundreds of birds or one bird, this should be a wake-up call!”-Randy Olson, Iowa Poultry Association

Kansas: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.

Massachusetts: The Look Restaurant shutdown in Leeds.  The owner blamed the bad economy and rising costs of operation.  At one time he had 17 employees, but by the time he decided to shutdown he had only five.

Minnesota: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.  As of 17 April, 1.7-million turkeys have died or been culled due to H5N2!   Wild turkey hunters in five counties are being forced to turn in their kills.  In Saint Paul, after five years Bars Bakery shutdown both of its stores.  The owners say they need more family time.

Missouri: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.  Grocery store chain Schnucks laid off 52 people, and eliminated eight open jobs, at its Saint Louis HQ.   No explanation given.  This comes weeks after administrators spent $1.69-million buying a property that they’ve rented for years.  Administrators admitted they weren’t using the Saint Louis property for anything, and had no future plans for it!

Montana: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.

New Jersey: Freshcut Produce issued a layoff WARN saying 1-hundred employees will become unemployed in June!  Company administrators blamed “economic reasons”.

New York: In Buffalo, Dug’s Dive shutdown. It might have something to do with the new landlord.  In Wayne County, the Heluva Good! cheese factory and shop joining the exodus from The Empire State and moving to Wisconsin in June, 53 jobs lost.

North Carolina: In Asheville, booze maker Blue Kudzu Sake shutdown, blaming the crashing U.S. market for preventing them to “secure a large enough market share to make our operation profitable”.  In Salisbury, famous Rick’s BBQ shutdown, the owner blamed his bad health.  Raleigh’s last registered bed-and-breakfast, The Oakwood Inn, shutdown after 31 years. The owner blames “illegal” competition from internet company Airbnb saying “If I have to [be licensed], why don’t they have to do it? And if they don’t have to do it, then I shouldn’t have to!”

North Dakota: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.

Ohio: Columbus based Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams joined Blue Bell and recalled all their products! The state of Nebraska discovered the bacteria listeria monocytogenes in Jeni’s ice cream.  In Montgomery, after less than one year Verde Salad shutdown  for “personal and financial reasons”!   In Short North, after ten years the Surly Girl Saloon shutdown, the owner indicated that demand for such a bar in Short North is crashing.  New Albany based Bob Evans Farms announced they will shutdown 20 restaurants!  After spending millions of dollars trying to improve their restaurants, administrators decided that at least 20 of them still weren’t “meeting expectations.”  They said most of the failed restaurants were outside Ohio.  Lancaster based EveryWare Global, owner of food preparation products companies Anchor Hocking and Oneida, is now chapter 11 bankrupt busted. They report overall sales crashed 17% in their 4th quarter 2014 (so much for Xmas sales). For the year they lost $4.87-million USD!

Oregon: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.

Pennsylvania: Snack maker Pepsi/Frito-Lay announced they will eliminate 7% of jobs at their Williamsport factory. It’s part of Pepsi’s ongoing plan to slash and burn operating costs (jobs).   After more than 90 years (surviving the Great deflationary Depression) restaurant Cohick’s Trading Post shutdown. One of the co-owners turned evil greedy and actually sued the other co-owner to force them to sell the family business! In Lawrenceville, after six years the owner of restaurant Tamari announced it will shutdown in May, but promised to open a new restaurant in the future. After 65 years Del’s Bar & Ristorante DelPizzo shutdown. The family owners had tried to sell it for the past year, but nobody was interested, the owners say the bad economy sucked them dry: “It’s just time to go, we’ve got nothing left in us.”-Marianne DelPizzo

South Carolina: In Winston-Salem, the owners of New Town Bistro and Bar announced it will shutdown in May.  They said it needs updates and in the current economy “it just didn’t make sense” to spend the money.   The King Street Grille in the Citadel Mall shutdown: “Due to uncontrollable circumstances, we have determined that it is in the best interest of the King Street Grille as a company to close the Citadel Mall location.”

South Dakota: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.  In Roberts County, 66-thousand 6-hundred turkeys dead from H5N2!  In Sioux Falls, after 25 years Valentino’s restaurant shutdown.  The owner said the restaurant business ain’t what it used to be: “This is such a demanding industry right now, and right now most people don’t realize we’re still ranked very high in the nation for restaurants per capita. So it’s gotten more challenging over the years, so it takes a lot. It takes a lot out of you.”-John Jones

Texas:  Brenham based ice cream maker Blue Bell Creameries recalled all their ice cream across the United States!  Company administrators claim they are being pro-active in fighting a listeria outbreak, however, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that ice cream made by Blue Bell has contained listeria for at least five years, beginning in 2010!  The CDC also blames Blue Bell ice cream for three deaths this past year.   Yet another cupcake shop goes down, this time in San Antonio.  The owner of Kate’s Frosting Events announced she will shutdown her last cupcake shop in May.  She shutdown another shop at the beginning of the year.  Her reason is that she wants at least one day off per week.   San Antonio based Food Management Partners shutting down 70 Carrows and Coco’s Bakery restaurants across Arizona, California and Nevada!  Administrators blame the suck-ass economy: “The current market climate has forced us to make difficult decisions about many of our restaurants that are not performing at a competitive financial level.”

Utah: Cereal maker Kellogg Company (aka Kellogg’s) announced they are shutting down their Clearfield facility, at least 2-hundred jobs lost!  It’s part of the company’s “efficiency and effectiveness program”.  Idiotic and out-o-touch city officials say they’re confident “Another company will come in right behind, and we’ll still continue to have a lot of employment here in Clearfield.”

Virginia: In Arlington, after 28 years Mother’s Macaroons Bakery shutdown.  The owner blames the death of her husband and the crashing economy saying “It was a series of things, and it hit me like a bag of rocks!”

Washington: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.    It was discovered that the Safeway in Spokane Valley shutdown in March, 60 jobs lost. Company administrators said it was not due to the takeover by Cerberus controlled Albertsons, but that the lease expired and it wasn’t worth renewing it.

Wisconsin: Poultry industry hit by H5N2.  In Barron County, 126-thousand 7-hundred turkeys possibly infected with H5N2!  In Milwaukee, restaurant Nourri forced to shutdown after its chef and its general manager walked out.  The owners blame frustrations with ongoing road construction that is killing off sales.  Food service company Sodexo told state employment administrators that 3-hundred people will become unemployed at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, in June! Sodexo lost their contract.

March 2015: “…sales dropped off a cliff…”

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Influenza

Influenza Update, 03 November 2014: Flu kills 3 Canadians! U.S. CDC blasts ignorant U.S. doctors! 71% of French refuse vaccinations! More proof vaccines are overrated & all about the money as British empire takes control of U.S. flu shot supply?

Australia: The British empire country is about to take partial control of flu vaccine supply in the United States.  Specifically, Aussie pharmaceutical giant CSL has made an offer to take over Novartis’ North Carolina U.S.A. flu vaccine operations.   Novartis is based in Switzerland and is in big trouble primarily because of numerous revelations that they doctored the effects of their vaccines and drugs.   Many revelations came when employees in Japan blew the whistle on Novartis, revealing that many ‘independent’ lab workers ‘testing’ the drugs were actually undercover Novartis employees, or were being paid off by Novartis!

This is just more proof you can’t trust government health officials when they push you to get vaccinated, and you have to wonder why Australian CSL wants to take over a potentially fraudulent vaccine operation in the U.S.?  I’ll give you a couple of reasons why; Novartis’ North Carolina vaccine ops were just given a big contract by the Obama regime to make ebola vaccines!  Also, officials with CSL openly stated that they expect the future of forced inoculations around the World to make the Aussie drug pushing company $1-billion USD annually, within five years!   It’s all about the money.

Canada: In Alberta Province, three people now dead.  At least 30 people hospitalized, 66 cases confirmed by lab work.  The versions of flu being reported are H1N1, H3N2 and flu B.  Alberta Health Services report that nearly 400-thousand residents are vaccinated. Provincial health administrators are now making vaccinations free to everybody (upfront anyway, they’re actually paid for with taxes the British empire government takes from the people. In the United States people are robbed by both their government in the form of taxes, and by insurance companies, and in most cases they still have to pay upfront for vaccinations! So much for Obama Care).

Frightened by the deaths in western Alberta Province, health administrators in eastern Quebec Province say they’re getting aggressive with vaccinations.  No they’re not going to make them free for everybody, they’re just going to spend more taxpayer money on TV PSAs (Public Service Announcements).

Officials in Quebec claim 300 provincial residents die every year from flu, however I could not find any hard-n-fast facts to back that claim up.  I checked my previous flu season reports and didn’t find any reported death toll that high.  In fact, for the 2013-14 flu season the first reported flu death in Quebec was in January 2014.  The actual death toll is more likely in the dozens, not hundreds.  Oh, and that’s with only 25% of Québécois (including English speakers) getting vaccinated!

Remember, in my last posting I pointed out that a Canadian news source called the ‘official’ flu death toll hyperbole, because it was totally based on computer model simulations, not actual cases.

The Canadian Public Health Agency reporting that the flu A strain known as H3N2 is the most common type of infection.

European Union:  French Institute of Health and Medical Research administrators are freaking out because seven out of ten (71%) French citizens refuse to get vaccinated!  46% of French citizens say they will never ever willingly be inoculated!  According to French news reports this attitude towards vaccines has remained unchanged for years, despite the French government spending bookoo taxes on trying to convince people to get the shot.

For the 2013-14 flu season only 1202 people were hospitalized in France, mostly children under five and old people over 65.  I didn’t see any reports of deaths.

In Neuwied District, Germany, local health administrators report that 2014 has been an uneventful flu season for them: “We had only five reported cases in 2014; one in February, three in March and one in October.”-Hilde Hamm vom Neuwieder Gesundheitsamt auf RZ

The doctors in the Rhineland-Palatinate (home to Neuwied) say the warmer temps for 2014 are keeping flu at bay.  But wait, you mean it’s not the increased vaccination rate in the German state?  Doctors expressed amazement at the high rates of infections in 2013, and so far hardly any in 2014.   Surveys by an insurance agency, DAK, seems to link increased vaccinations rates (over the privious ten years) with increased numbers of people getting sick!  Mmmm, was it the vaccine making people sick (as I postulated last year)?

Israel: Vaccine maker BiondVax has now patented their one stop shop flu vaccine in every major country in the World.  They claim it renders all other vaccines inept: “BiondVax’s vaccine was designed to contain small pieces of the flu virus that do not change as they are required for the virus’s life cycle. These small pieces are enough to teach the human immune system to recognize all flu strains, so that the body quickly stops the virus from causing illness. Based on these findings, BiondVax anticipates that the universal vaccine, when the development stage is completed, will be broadly effective against present and future strains in contrast to current vaccines that are strain specific.”-Tamar Ben-Yedidia

Switzerland (is not a member of the European Union): Studies show most Swiss are refusing to get vaccinated. The Swiss Office of Public Health is also adjusting their vaccination program, targeting only ‘at risk groups’ (kids, chronically ill and old people, estimated to make up 36% of the Swiss population) for voluntary inoculation. Many studies show that healthy ‘working age’ adults do not get any benefit from vaccinations.

Swiss Office of Public Health (Bundesamt für Gesundheit, oder BAG) surveys also show a reluctance by healthcare workers to get vaccinated, despite massive taxpayer funded pro-vaccination campaigns.    Government administrators are also toying with the idea of following the United States and allow pharmacists to give flu shots.

United States: Apparently ignorant U.S. doctors are still presribing antibiotics for virus infections!  The U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has launched a campaign to get doctors to stop doing that: “Recently I authored a CDC study that examined clinician treatment practices for outpatients with influenza during the 2012-2013 season. Key findings showed that clinicians commonly underprescribed the influenza antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir, and potentially overprescribed common antibiotics to patients with influenza for whom antiviral therapy would have been most beneficial.

Overall, only 16% of patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza received antiviral treatment, whereas 30% were prescribed one of three common antibiotics. Perhaps even more concerning is that only 19% of patients at high risk for influenza complications and who had respiratory symptoms for fewer than 2 days—a group likely to benefit from antiviral therapy—were prescribed an antiviral medication.”-Fiona Havers, CDC medical officer, read (or watch/listen to) more of her damning report here

In Colorado, reports that the Veterans Affairs medical center in Mesa County has already exceeded the number of flu shots they gave out for all of the 2013-14 flu season!   VA medical administrators blame it on public demand: “We’re doing about 100 to 150 shots a day! Normally this time of year we give 35 to 50 a day.”-Paul Sweeney

The sudden increase in paranoids demanding to be shot up with who knows what this flu season is being blamed on the ebola scare, and the fact that the CDC is now claiming this flu season could the most ‘contagious’ yet!

In Florida, a mom has gone public accusing the flu vaccine of paralyzing her daughter for life.  Her nine years old daughter got vaccinated during the 2013-14 flu season, then four days later developed Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), which can be caused by influenza, or influenza vaccines.

Update, 24 October 2014: Canadian flu death toll is BullShit! 99% failure rate of Navy vaccination program! 

Influenza

Influenza Update, 24 October 2014: Canadian flu death toll is BullShit! 99% failure rate of USN vaccination program! CDC hides report questioning vaccines? Washington study shows vaccines don’t work on middle aged people! Flu shot home delivery?

“…the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in July, 2013, found vaccinated health-care workers had no measurable benefit…”-Carly Weeks, The Globe and Mail

Canada: In Nova Scotia, Genesis Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is in trouble for warning people not to get vaccinated!  However, the operators of the center say they are only providing available info, pro and con, so their customers can make an informed decision.

In Ontario, Michael Gardam, the once pro-vaccination director of infection prevention and control at the University Health Network in Toronto, now says mandatory vaccinations are a bad thing: “A few years ago, I was also for mandatory flu shots. Then what happened is I started reading and I started going back to the original studies. I don’t feel that I can sugar-coat those any more.” 

The article that reported on Gardam’s reversal on vaccinations also revealed that official influenza death tolls in Canadian are BullShit (fake): “Every year, provincial public-health agencies, health advocacy groups and media organizations tell Canadians that up to 8,000 of us die annually as a direct result of the flu. But that figure is based on a computer model and doesn’t reflect the actual number of influenza deaths….In reality, the total number of flu deaths isn’t tracked across Canada, in part because most flu cases are not tested and confirmed by a lab.”

China: Researchers at Hong Kong University say their research shows that the more generations of influenza subtypes, the more virulent they become.  Basically, with each new generation of flu strain the RNA gains more genetic diversity, which allows it to better overcome all your efforts to kill it off.

Mexico: The North American country has a socialized healthcare system and is big on forcing vaccinations.  I checked my influenza reports for last flu season and found that by February 2014 more than 21-million Mexicans had been vaccinated, yet almost 4-thousand got sick anyway and nearly 400 died!  

Switzerland: Researchers discovered how influenza gets into your cells.  Basically the RNA virus tricks your cells into thinking it’s some kind of junk debris, causing your cleaning cells to dissolve the outer shell of the virus.  Once the outer shell is dissolved the virus can easily invade your own cells.

United States:  Since the 1950s the Department of Defense mandates flu shots for military personnel, now a U.S. Navy study casts doubt on decades old claims that vaccines prevent illness!

25 U.S. Navy sailors onboard the USS Ardent got vaccinated while it was docked in San Diego, California, back in February.  A USN report reveals all but one of those sailors (24 out of 25, that’s 99%. I’ve seen pro-vaccine news reports claiming only 25% of the sailors got sick!) got flu infections (mainly H3N2)!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the report, but you wont find it searching under the word ‘influenza’.   The report was just published today in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, under the heading  Influenza Outbreak in a Vaccinated Population — USS Ardent, February 2014.

On top of that, a new study by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, proves last season’s flu vaccine was a failure, for 30 to 40 years old anyway.  Their research showed that even people who got vaccinated got sick with H1N1: “…there was a higher than normal rate of severe influenza infection which includes people being hospitalized and going to the doctor…. the immune response that the vaccine elicits in middle-aged people is actually less effective than in younger and older people…”-Jesse Bloom, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

Washington reporting flu cases, at least 30 at Washington State University: “Usually we don’t start seeing cases until December of January.”-Dennis Garcia, WSU senior associate medical director

In the New England states, some paranoids are getting their flu vaccines delivered right to their doorstep. The company is called Uber, and they deliver not only the vaccine but a nurse to administer it!

Oklahoma reports its first cases of influenza, both toddlers.

Despite the majority of news reports saying there’s plenty of flu shots, Nebraska officials warning that they are running out of vaccines for children and old people.  So far the four known U.S. flu deaths this season involved two old women (Idaho) and two toddlers (North Carolina & Illinois).  News reports out of Nebraska say vaccine maker Sanofi failed to deliver on half its promised vaccines!

Florida reporting a sudden spike in flu cases, one hospital reporting 90 to 100 per week.  Officials say that will go up: “Probably by late December towards January we’ll see about 600-700 cases for any given week.”-Jonathan Schwartzman, Centra Care

Why is there a push to get vaccinated by the end of November?

Influenza

Influenza Update, 21 October 2014: “We’ve reached the tipping point …” Why is there a push to get vaccinated by the end of November? Santa Barbara County orders mandatory vaccinations! Mass vaccinations in Minnesota! Obama regime halts funding for flu research!

Canada: The Public Health Agency of Canada is warning that this flu season could be as bad as last season.  H3N2 is so far the most common type of flu hitting the Great White North right now, and one health official is warning that H3N2 is showing signs of “drifting”: “The emergence of a new drift strain means that we may have more intense H3 activity this year. And we’re also starting to pick up early H3s emerging as the dominant player very early on in the season.  H3 is particularly harsh on the elderly.”-Danuta Skowronski, British Columbia Centre for Disease Control

The province of Alberta has spent $12.5-million CAD on flu shots. Last flu season 30 people in the western province died.  This flu season Alberta already has the most reported influenza cases in all of Canada.  47 confirmed cases, 25 hospitalized.

Prime Minister of the British empire island of Barbados is in Canada, recovering from influenza.  Apparently he got infected while attending the UN Climate Change Summit in New York City.

Mexico: The state of Querétaro has ordered 420-thousand vaccinations.  They will be available not only at clinics but at shopping malls.

The Mexican government is spending 400-million pesos buying 32-million vaccinations (that’s 6-million more than last flu season).  Health officials requested vaccines to fight H1N1, H3N2 and flu B.

Health officials claim that nine out of ten Mexicans who died from flu last season were not vaccinated.  Of interest is that those ‘nine out of ten’ Mexicans were also considered to be people in the low risk of infection category, meaning getting vaccinated was not considered important for them.

Health officials are predicting H3N2 to be the dominant strain this flu season.

United Kingdom: An experimental vaccine for two to four years olds is being distributed.  A promoter of vaccines admitted that government officials frightening people into getting flu shots is good for business: “Public awareness and attention on vaccines help boost the market. The commitment of a significant world healthcare market will drive the need for more vaccine production….”-Bruce Carlson, Publisher of Kalorama Information

United States: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging U.S. residents to get vaccinated now.  So far four people have died; two in Idaho, one in Illinois and one in North Carolina.

In California, Santa Barbara County has ordered all county healthcare employees to get mandatory flu shots: “We’ve reached the tipping point where this has become the standard practice.”-Charity Thoman, Public Health Officer

Those healthcare workers refusing to get vaccinated must ‘suit up’ when they come to work, or become unemployed.

In Minnesota, a local TV station and the Minnesota Visiting Nurse Agency have created a novel way of carrying out mass vaccinations; upon invitation, they will show up at any public event to dispense vaccines.  It’s being called Flu Fighter To-Go.

In Utah, the Salt Lake City Fire Department is demanding that everybody get vaccinated before the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday!

In Massachusetts, the city of Newburyport is pushing a vaccination clinic on 30 October.  They’re charging a $5 fee, or you can donate food.

Here is a list of flu vaccines If you’re going to get vaccinated.  They are not for everybody, so do your homework: Trivalent inactivated vaccine, Quadrivalent inactivated vaccine, Intradermal inactivated vaccine, High-dose inactivated vaccine, Live attenuated vaccine and Recombinant vaccine.

It takes at least two weeks for the vaccine to take effect, you can still get sick during that time.  Another factor is which version of flu will be the dominant flu this season, if it’s a strain that is not covered in any of the new vaccines (like a new H3 strain) then you just wasted your time getting vaccinated.

Mississippi is reporting their first confirmed case of influenza.

The Obama regime has ordered a temporary halt to funding of influenza research.  The funding halt also affects research on SARS and MERS.  The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy  says it’s a matter of national security as the info made public as a result of the studies could be used by terrorists.  Or is it really that government officials are questioning the direction of the research?  In other words, if the research is not coming up with results that the Obama regime wants, then no mo money fo you mister scientist.

a 4th death!

International, U.S.

Operation Climate Change: “Politics or ideology must not get in the way…” U.S. DoD reveals ‘climate change’ is all part of a plan for global domination!

20 October 2014 (06:17 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/28 Mehr 1393/27 Jia-Xu 4712

“In our defense strategy, we refer to climate change as a ‘threat multiplier’ because it has the potential to exacerbate many of the challenges we are dealing with today – from infectious disease to terrorism. We are already beginning to see some of these impacts.”-2014 Climate Change Adaption Raodmap

The U.S. Department of Defense announced new plans to use ‘climate change’ for domestic martial law and to expand the U.S. empire.

The DoD issued a 2014 Climate Change Adaption Roadmap report stating that climate change is now a threat to U.S. national security and that U.S. officials must be prepared to invade and occupy other countries under the guise of saving them from the wrath of Mother Earth, and the DoD issued a warning to ‘elected’ officials: “Politics or ideology must not get in the way…”

The immediate goals of the DoD are:  “….enhance collaboration within the Department itself, across the Federal Government, and with external entities that include partner nations, non-­‐government organizations, and the private sector.”  

“…to train and test…”

“…collaboration with internal and external stakeholders will be required…”

“Collaboration with the private sector, including major manufacturing, supply, and transportation corporations…”

Influenza

3rd U.S. citizen to die of flu! Paranoids swarm new vaccination station! Days after CDC says there’s plenty of vaccines, doctors ask ‘Where are the shots?’ Teachers shot up with insulin, not vaccine! News media warn flu could be a big killer this year!

12 October 2014 (01:56 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/20 Mehr 1393/19 Jia-Xu 4712

North Carolina reporting their first flu death.  Department of Health and Human Services would only say it was a Wake County elementary school aged child.

A couple of days ago I wrote how the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated there were hundreds of millions of vaccine doses already shipped out, or under production.  Now pediatricians are demanding to know where they are.

“Several companies experienced slower yields than expected. Their flu vaccine is being produced, but it’s coming out slower than anticipated. Deliveries are a little bit behind schedule but they anticipate getting most of it out by the end of October, when most was promised by mid-September.”-Andy Pavia, University of Utah

“This year they’re having trouble developing enough to get the flu vaccine supply going as early as they want. We’re told our supply will be delayed by two weeks to a month, but we really don’t know when we’ll get it!”-Greg Finn, Blue Fish Pediatrics, Missouri

A Missouri TV news report told its audience that this year’s influenza is “as dangerous as it has ever been”, but gave no explanation or citation, except for “Doctors say”.

Perhaps the reports of lack of vaccines and unsubstantiated reports that influenza will be worse than ever is the cause for the Muskingum County fairgrounds, in Ohio, being swamped by paranoids trying out the new ‘drive thru’ vaccination station.

The Zanesville-Muskingum County Health Department says at least 19-hundred people showed up for the one day free flu shot event.  But it wasn’t just a free drive thru flu shot event, it was also a covert biological disaster training event!

Health officials say the free flu shot event was done with the cooperation of several different organizations, in an attempt to prepare for a future ‘health’ event that would require such cooperation.

Riverton, Wyoming, held a similar drive thru vaccination event: “I come here every year and let them shoot me.”-Norma Tatman

Washington’s WSU Spokane’s College of Pharmacy, along with Walgreens, conducted a free vaccination day as well.  About 300 vaccinations were administered.

In Utah, a lawsuit charges that five Parkway Elementary teachers were given insulin shots instead of flu shots last month.  Yes, two  teachers ended up in the hospital, three others were sick!

School officials say the shots were offered through the school’s health insurance provider.  The school nurse who administered the shots has resigned.

Just because the official flu season in the U.S. is from October to May doesn’t mean it goes away during summer. The U.S. CDC admitted there were influenza cases in at least 47 U.S. states during summer. However, the CDC doesn’t post summer flu cases on its influenza tracking site. Also keep in mind that any info the CDC posts on its flu “surveillance” site during flu ‘season’ is at least one week old.

Influenza has already killed two people in Idaho!

Idaho: In Kootenai County, a woman over the age of 60 died from “complications of the flu”.  In Ada County, another woman over the age of 60 died from flu.  Idaho Department of Health and Welfare officials are freaking out and demanding that residents get vaccinated.  IDHW officials say they don’t know what strain of flu killed the women: “It is early. I guess we’ll just have to see how it plays out. The fact that we have already seen two deaths may be a really good signal that people need to get their flu shot.”-Leslie Tengelsen, Deputy State Epidemiologist

Kentucky: Jefferson County reports first influenza case in the state.

Montana: Cascade County reporting the state’s first flu infection.

Wisconsin: Department of Health Services reporting eight people hospitalized with influenza.

In 2007 the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the cost of treating people sick with influenza was about $87-billion USD!

88-million vials of flu vaccines have already been shipped out for the 2014-15 influenza season.  Another 159-million doses are expected.

The CDC has warnings about getting a flu shot:   “If you have any severe, life-threatening allergies. If you ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after a dose of flu vaccine, or have a severe allergy to any part of this vaccine, including (for example) an allergy to gelatin, antibiotics, or eggs, you may be advised not to get vaccinated. Most, but not all, types of flu vaccine contain a small amount of egg protein.  If you ever had Guillain-Barré Syndrome (a severe paralyzing illness, also called GBS). Some people with a history of GBS should not get this vaccine. This should be discussed with your doctor.   If you are not feeling well. It is usually okay to get flu vaccine when you have a mild illness, but you might be advised to wait until you feel better. You should come back when you are better.”

The CDC also stated: “Problems that could happen after any vaccine:  Brief fainting spells can happen after any medical procedure, including vaccination….Tell your doctor if you feel dizzy, or have vision changes or ringing in the ears.  Severe shoulder pain and reduced range of motion in the arm where a shot was given can happen, very rarely, after a vaccination.  Severe allergic reactions from a vaccine are very rare, estimated at less than 1 in a million doses. If one were to occur, it would usually be within a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.

Mild problems following inactivated flu vaccine:  soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given,  hoarseness,  sore, red or itchy eyes,  cough,  fever,  aches, headache, itching, fatigue. If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last 1 or 2 days.  

Moderate problems following inactivated flu vaccine:  Young children who get inactivated flu vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) at the same time may be at increased risk for seizures caused by fever. Ask your doctor for more information. Tell your doctor if a child who is getting flu vaccine has ever had a seizure. ……As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a serious injury or death.” 

The following was a warning from the CDC’s Eduardo Azziz-Baumgartner, Influenza Division:  “For the 2014-2015 flu season, CDC has expressed a preference for the nasal spray vaccine in children aged 2-8 years when it is available. Although the flu injection and the nasal spray vaccine both protect children from the flu, evidence suggests that the nasal spray vaccine works better in children aged 2-8 years than a flu injection. It’s important to note, however, that some children aged 2-8 years should not receive a nasal spray vaccine, including:  Children aged 2-4 years who have had asthma or wheezing during the past 12 months;  Children who have immunosuppression;  Children with a history of egg allergy;  Children who are receiving aspirin therapy or are taking medications that contain aspirin; and Children who have taken influenza antiviral medications (for example, Tamiflu® or Relenza®) within the past 48 hours.  Children with asthma who receive the nasal spray may have an increased risk of wheezing.  The safety of the nasal spray vaccine in children with other health conditions that put them at increased risk for serious flu complications (diabetes, heart disease, neurologic conditions, etc.) has not been established.”

Get ready for the new cross-dressing flu: H11N2!

“We found that this virus was unlike anything else detected in the world!”-Aeron Hurt, UN World Health Organization

Researchers are reporting they’ve found a new type of bird flu in Antarctic Penguins, known as H11N2.

However, I did some quick research and discovered H11N2 was also found in chickens in Nanjing, China, in 2009.

A/chicken/Nanjing/908/2009(H11N2) consists of genes from H9N2, H7N7, H5N2, H11N8, H3N6, H6N2, H1N1, and H5N1.

Research published in 2012 concluded that H11 influenzas are very likely to cross species, and called for “enhanced surveillance”.

So what’s the big deal about the H11N2 in the Penguins?  UN researches say this is the first time ever that “live influenza” was found in birds of the Antarctic.  Interesting, how did a flu first found in China end up at the bottom of the world?  Apparently the Penguins are not showing any signs of being sick.

Influenza False Flag: Tamiflu proven to be worthless & even deadly! Is it a Bilderberg op to kill you off?

“The stuff is toxic. It increased the risk of psychiatric events, headaches and renal events in one in 150 people. People reported nausea, vomiting and constriction of the airways. In Japan eight children jumped out of windows and committed suicide.”-Tom Jefferson, The Cochrane Collaboration

A five year study by Oxford University and The Cochrane Collaboration suggests that the British empire government of United Kingdom wasted the equivalent of $839-million USD stockpiling, and forcing Britishers to take, Tamiflu (aka oseltamivir).

Another anti-viral, Relenza (aka zanamivir), is also considered dangerous.

The study accuses the legal drug pusher, Swiss based Roche, of “sloppy science” and of actually lying about the effectiveness of Tamiflu against influenza.  This would explain the growing reports from the medical industry that Tamiflu is not working against the flu virus.

The Cochrane Collaboration found connections to increased cases of psychotic episodes and suicides in Japan, where Tamiflu is prescribed more than in any other country for the treatment of flu.  Even Japanese doctors have been warning that Tamiflu is not doing what Roche says it does!

This is not the first time Oxford University warned of the evils of Tamiflu. Back in 2009 they warned that children should not be given Tamuflu or Relenza.  The University’s initial research revealed that Tamiflu reduced the average number of sick days, for a person infected with flu, from seven to a pathetic 6.3, and that it had no effect in reducing the number of days a person spends in the hospital!  It also has bad side effects in children and adults with compromised immune systems.

The Cochrane Collaboration pointed out that in 2009 drug maker Roche provided almost no evidence of clinical trials to back up its claims for Tamiflu, yet your evil corporate controlled health care systems, and ‘elected’ officials, welcomed the new drug without question.

Australia:  Heath officials are panicking and demanding people get vaccinated.  Queensland reporting double the influenza cases compared to last year.  New South Wales warning residents to protect themselves from H1N1 this coming winter, after an “unusually high” amount of summer time flu.  (Remember: In the Southern Hemisphere the seasons are reversed from the Northern Hemisphere.)

Canada:  Since 14 March, Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, women’s ward, has been hit with an H1N1 outbreak.

European Union:  In warm and economically destitute (no thanks to the Trilateral Commission) Cyprus, a third person has died from H1N1. At least 26 cases.

In warm and economically destitute (no thanks to the Trilateral Commission) Greece, the European Center for Disease Prevention reports 106 flu deaths, mainly H1N1.

Scotland reporting H1N1 outbreaks, spread from Mexico!  Recently six people tested positive for H1N1 at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Prior to that six kids were H1N1 infected and sent to Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill.  Prior to that a man died of H1N1 at Glasgow’s Victoria Infirmary, on 03 February.  Health Protection Scotland says H1N1 was brought in by two people returning from vacation in Mexico.

In warm and economically destitute (no thanks to the Trilateral Commission) Spain, 155 people have died from influenza, mainly H1N1.

Mexico: As of 24 March, 704 people died from influenza.  627 specifically from H1N1.   More than 6-thousand infections, despite a massive vaccination program.  The state of Jalisco is still the place to avoid.

New Zealand:  Health officials say the flu season has started early in the Southern Hemisphere, and H1N1 is leading the way.   An H1N1  patient in Hawke’s Bay Hospital is now in critical condition.

Qatar: The Hamad General Hospital reports two cases.  They say people who travel to other countries are bringing H1N1 into Qatar when they return.

Thailand:  Health officials report 18 deaths caused by H1N1.  Ministry of Public Health’s Bureau of Epidemiology reports 18,290 cases were reported between 01 Jan to 17 March!

United States: In Arkansas, a 48 year old River Valley man died from H1N1.  He died on 24 March, a little more than two weeks after his 5th wedding anniversary.  His wife said it took him down fast: “By Monday he started turning kind of gray and he got really weak. He was hallucinating and I couldn`t figure out what was going on.”-Ashley Cass

In California, more than 302 people have died from H1N1.  In Roseville, doctors are calling a woman’s recovery a “miracle”.  After ten weeks in the hospital the family decided to take the 61 years old woman off life support, and she suddenly recovered!  She said she felt “Better than dead!”

Vietnam: A teenaged girl died after a month of battling H1N1.  She was in the hospital until 23 March, when her parents said it was time to bring her home, where she died.  The National Tropical Diseases Hospital in Hanoi reported that they were seeing three to five people everyday, infected with H1N1.  The majority of cases involve entire families.

There are increasing reports of people coming down with Guillain-Barre syndrome, after being vaccinated with the flu shot.

A new report says unAmerican Corporate America is to blame for spreading diseases, including H1N1. It’s all part of the Trilateral Commission’s globalization plans.
