Influenza

Influenza: More proof vaccines are a waste; 60 years old man never had flu shot until 2009 yet never got sick with flu, and the 2009 vaccine had no effect on him!

“The blood donor in this study was born in 1947 and was infected with influenza several times in his childhood (possibly by H1N1 and H2N2) and in 1968 (probably by H3N2). For 41 years afterwards, he did not contract influenza, and he was never vaccinated against influenza………most of them [blood donor’s anti-bodies] neutralize not only H1N1 viruses but also H5N1 virus…..the products of long-lived memory B cells that were established before vaccination…we concluded that the sialic acid-binding pocket and its surrounding region on HA are immunogenically very potent and that virtually all of the B cells whose growth is newly induced and expanded by vaccination produce Abs that recognize these regions. We also concluded that when formalin-treated virus particles that are not alive are used as vaccine……..that the non-neutralizing epitope on HA, even if it exists, is immunologically impotent.”–Binding near the Sialic Acid-Binding Pocket and Neutralizing Both H1N1 and H5N1 Viruses

Doctors are mystified by a 60 years old man who swears he has not been sick with flu since he was 21 years old!  Back in 2009, for the first time in his life he decided to get a flu shot, because of all the increased flu cases and the paranoid propaganda by government health officials telling people to get the flu shot.

Doctors at the Fujita Health University, in Japan, decided to take samples of his blood.  They were shocked to find he had full antibody protection from most flus, even the latest H5N1 (bird flu) variant.  Why is this significant?  H5N1 has yet to hit Japan, so how can a Japanese man, who’s never been sick with flu in his adult life, and never gotten a flu shot, develop antibodies to the latest flu variants?

Also, they discovered that the man had no immune system boost when he finally got the flu shot in 2009. They concluded that the so called ‘dead’ influenza viruses in the vaccine failed to trigger (an epitope reaction, with your antibody’s partope) an immune system response (they deemed it “immunologically impotent“), meaning the man wasted his time getting vaccinated!

By the way, the same anti-body that fights off H5N1 can also fight off H1N1.

In a ‘oh snap I could’a had a V8’ moment Japanese doctors are now going to test other people to see if they already, naturally, have the ability to fight off influenza without a vaccine!

Influenza: H7N9 alarming health officials! U.S. stockpiles unproven H7N9 vaccine! H7N9 engineered to kill Chinese only?

06 February 2014 (00:29 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/17 Bahman 1392/07 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Canada‘s Public Health Agency increases monitoring of H7N9 cases: “We’re very interested and watching very carefully what is going on in China.”-John Spika

China now hit with 310 H7N9 (bird flu) cases, 67 deaths.  Health officials from around the world continue to claim it is still not a true human to human virus, yet, out of 33400 poultry samples taken this 2013-14 flu season, only eight were positive for H7N9!  I pointed out similar discrepancies during the 2012-13 H7N9 outbreak. A new study points out that in the few human to human cases the only contact with H7N9 was with infected 1st blood relatives. In fact two of the latest H7N9 cases involves a woman and her five years old son. Guangxi health officials suspect the boy got H7N9 from his mother. In fact all the latest H7N9 cases in China involve family members.  In Hangzhou City a man his wife and daughter are all sick, and officials there suspect the man spread it to the others (the man died).  In other words, despite what government officials say the virus is on its way to becoming fully human to human.

I’ve read several articles claiming a study (released last year) revealed that H7N9 seems to go after Asian people who have the IFITM3 (interferon-induced transmembrane protein-3) gene!  Most Caucasians do not have the gene.   However, when I read the actual study there is no mention of H7N9, it was talking about H1N1!  Other researchers say the IFITM3 gene also makes you more susceptible to other flus like H7N9 and H5N1.

United States:  The Obama regime is stockpiling H7N9 vaccines!  Trials of H7N9 vaccine show that it takes several doses before it seems to work.

Vietnam: United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization warning of spread of H7N9 from China.

Influenza: Tamiflu resistant H1N1 forces drug addicted Japan to try new drugs! Mexico hit hard despite massive vaccination program! Deaths skyrocket in California! ‘Mericans still confused about viruses vs bacteria! H1N1 hits Egypt!

06 February 2014 (23:38 UTC-07 Tango 05 February 2014)/05 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/17 Bahman 1392/07 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Alberta, Canada: The province has officially run out of vaccines! More than one million people vaccinated. So much for claims that not enough people are getting the flu shot!

British Colombia, Canada: 60 confirmed H1N1 cases in the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap.  BC’s Interior Health department said there’ve been at least three H1N1 deaths.  Health officials warned “The lab confirmed cases represent the tip of the iceberg when it comes to influenza activity.”

Northwest Territories, Canada: One H1N1 death, but health officials say overall flu cases have diminished. Note that the NWT is extremely cold, so much for the main streamer news media claiming flu is a cold weather bug.

Egypt:  Despite a screwed up pro-U.S. government, Egyptian health officials were finally able to reveal that 24 people have died from H1N1 in the past two months.  195 hospitalized.

Hungary, European Union: National Center for Epidemiology reports 14300 people with flu symptoms.

Mexico: Influenza deaths at 227 (209 are H1N1).  2214 confirmed cases of influenza.  21-million 500-thousand people have been vaccinated!  Apparently the flu shots government officials are so proud of aren’t working!  Officials continue to say the situation is “normal”!  However, President Enrique Peña Nieto has ordered the Ministry of Health to be more forthcoming in making data public!

Japan: Health officials are trying out a new anti-viral drug called favipiravir, or T-705.  This because the H1N1 in Japan is now resistant to Tamiful and Relenza.  Recently published studies out of Europe blame it on the overuse of prescription drugs in Japan.

California, U.S.A.:  Mendocino County reports three H1N1 deaths.  San Diego reports nine new flu deaths in the past week. Fresno County Public Health reports 14 H1N1 deaths, 31 people in ICU.  Sacramento County reports death toll now at 24, 91 people hospitalized.

Nevada, U.S.A.: Washoe County reports eight more H1N1 deaths. Hospitalizations are up, but don’t blame it on people not getting the flu shot!  Washoe County also reports lines of people waiting to get vaccinated!  I’ve asked this before: Is there a connection between the H1N1 outbreak and increased vaccinations? “Last year, out of the 814 laboratory cases that we had, none of them died. this year, we had eight who died.”-Randall Todd, Washoe County

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Officials with Hendersonville Christian Academy show their ignorance about H1N1.  Local news reports said the school was fighting H1N1 with an ozone generator.  It is designed to kill bacteria. H1N1 is a virus, not a bacteria, and is not likely to be affected by anything designed to take out bacteria!  You need to use a super intense ultraviolet light that literally fries all microbes, like many hospitals are starting to do.

Texas, U.S.A.: State health officials on alert as H1n1 deaths hit 35, most taking place in recent days.

A new study says “...study participants whose mothers were exposed [to influenza] had a significant 5.03-fold increased risk of bipolar disorder with psychotic features…”  If influenza can cause bipolar problems for the unborn, why not the flu vaccine?  After all, vaccines use the actual virus to theoretically force your body to develop immunity!

Influenza: H1N1 shuts down courthouse! Medical incompetence almost kills 4 years old! Incompetence kills woman! Vaccine & flu tests not working?

Belize: Health officials confirm three people infected with H1N1. One of those, a 29 years old mother, has died.  There are several other people showing flu symptoms, but testing has been negative.

Alberta, Canada: Provincial health officials are dealing with a vaccine shortage.  They are now rationing the remaining flu shots in case of large outbreaks or for use in children under nine years of age only.  15-thousand vaccines are on order.

British Columbia, Canada: Kootenay health officials report nine confirmed cases of H1N1.  The Kelowna General Hospital reports they had to induce a coma in one 55 years old woman because of H1N1. The family thinks she got infected while on vacation in Las Vegas, Nevada U.S.A.

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: One person confirmed killed by H1N1.  16-thousand vaccinations are on order.  13-thousand people have already been vaccinated.

Spain:  Health officials report two elderly men died from H1N1.  At least 43 people hospitalized, with 18 under intensive care.

California, U.S.A.: In Fresno, a federal court judge has suspended all cases involving inmates from the Fresno County Jail.  This is because of an H1N1 outbreak in the jail, that’s already killed one inmate. In Milpitas, the Elmwood Correctional Facility reports an H1N1 outbreak.  The Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services confirmed one man died of H1N1.  Solano county reports a person with chronic health problems was killed by H1N1. The county also reports ten new flu cases.  Tulare County reports a woman died from H1N1.  Kings County reports that three people have now died from H1N1. The USN is also encouraging all military personnel in the area to get vaccinated.  At this point at least 49 people in the Golden State have died from influenza, and another 50 deaths are being investigated “….and we’re still not at the peak of the season. This seems to be a season where more deaths are being reported.”-Gil Chavez, state epidemiologist

Idaho, U.S.A.: In Burley, a High School student showed up for school but became so sick he had to be picked up before lunch by his mom.  She took him to the doctor who immediately diagnosed him with H1N1.  The school was notified and they went into scrubdown mode. At least 50 other students were already out sick.

Indiana, U.S.A.: State Department of health says the number of influenza deaths are now at 11.  Last week it was three.

Louisiana, U.S.A.: “Our flu activity right now is very elevated.  The usual baseline is around 2.5% and we are well over 7%.”-Timothy Haman, CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital

Michigan, U.S.A.: In Kent County it was confirmed that three people died from H1N1.

Nebraska, U.S.A.:  Hall County reports two H1N1 cases.

New York, U.S.A.: Onondaga County Health Commissioner reports two deaths caused by H1N1.

Ohio, U.S.A.:  In Athens County, it was revealed that a 32 years old woman who died from H1N1 got the flu shot before getting sick. Doctors are baffled as to why she died: “We don’t know why she died. So far there are no answers, and that’s often the case….I’m at a loss to explain it.”-James Gaskell, Athens City-County Health Department

Oklahoma, U.S.A.: Department of Health reports 12 influenza deaths, 399 hospitalizations.

Oregon, U.S.A.: In Salem, a 52 years old woman didn’t recover.  She died from H1N1, after being diagnosed with bronchitis!  Hospitals are reporting that they are getting close to overcrowding with the number of influenza patients.  In Bend, officials with Saint Charles hospitals say if the crowding gets worse they will have to send Oregonians to hospitals in Idaho, Nevada or Washington.

Washington, U.S.A.:  In Vancouver, a 4 years old boy almost died because doctors failed to test him for influenza.  What’s even more unusual is that doctors tested his grandmother and another adult relative for the virus.  His grandmother says she demanded he be tested for H1N1 but says the clinic refused!  They were all sick, but have since recovered.  A doctor told a local TV station that flu tests are expensive and the clinic was probably trying to save money!

Influenza: Deadly H7N9 makes a comeback! Allied with H9N2! Warning for pregnant women!

11 January 2014 (21:35 UTC-07 Tango 10 January 2014)/09 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/21 Dey 1392/11 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

A 38 years old man in China died today, the same day it was confirmed he was infected with H7N9.  So far this year there are at least ten human infections (150 human infections since the beginning of 2013, 45 deaths) involving a virus that is still considered a bird only flu.

At least four of the latest human cases had contact with poultry.  Six are in critical condition.

Chinese researchers have discovered that not only are poultry infected with H7N9, but they are infected with H9N2 as well.  Further research resulted in their conclusion that H9N2 (duck flu) is playing a role in the evolution of H7N9.  Genetic testing showed H7N9 genes containing genes from H9N2.

Restaurants, as well as poultry markets, are found to have the virus and massive cleaning is being undertaking.  A restaurant in Guangzhou Province was shut down and 27 employees are now under medical observation.

The Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention is warning pregnant woman: “Our findings suggest that pregnancy might be a risk factor for clinically severe influenza in young women infected with H7N9 subtype virus.”

The Jiangsu CDC reported that a pregnant woman almost died from H7N9, having to undergo intensive anti-viral treatments.  They also pointed out that she had no contact with birds!

At least two people died from H7N9 in Hong Kong.  The Hong Kong Department of Health reports three new cases, for a total of 149 cases.

Taiwan reports two human cases of H7N9.  Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council issued a Yellow Travel Alert for anybody going to Shanghai.

The University of Melbourne, in Australia, found that some people are immune to H7N9.  It has to do with the lymphocyte CD8+ T.  Some people have it, some don’t.  Those that have it can fight off influenza better than those who don’t.

Idaho, Influenza

Influenza H1N1: Suddenly, more people dying, more people on life support! H1N1 killing healthy people! Hundreds flooding ERs! Mass immunizations fail in Canada? Medical incompetence kills boy! Government study says vaccines making people sick!

04 January 2014 (02:44 UTC-07 Tango)/02 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/14 Dey 1392/04 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Back in August 2013, a study was released that warned that influenza vaccinations can cause severe infection known as enhanced respiratory disease.  The study was conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.  Basically your immune system turns against you and works with the H1N1 virus: “…..cross-reactive anti-HA2 antibodies enhanced pH1N1 infection of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells by promoting virus membrane fusion activity. The enhanced fusion activity correlated with lung pathology in pigs. This study suggests a role for fusion-enhancing anti-HA2 antibodies….” –Vaccine-Induced Anti-HA2 Antibodies Promote Virus Fusion and Enhance Influenza Virus Respiratory Disease.

Despite the USDA study and the BC, Canada, study (see below) health officials in both Canada and the United States are pushing people to get flu vaccines!

California, U.S.A.:  In Santa Clara County, a 41 years old woman died from H1N1.  She died on 23 December, but only now is it being reported.  State health officials insist the number of flu cases in the Golden State, so far, are considered “normal”.

Georgia, U.S.A.: Department of Health reports four deaths.

Idaho, U.S.A.: Department of Health and Welfare says a man died from H1N1 “related illness”.

Indiana, U.S.A.: At least four people have died.

Michigan, U.S.A.: University of Michigan Health System reporting that a dozen adults and children are on life support in their hospital.  University hospital officials say the people had no prior health problems and have been hit hard by H1N1.  University officials are also reporting that hospital ERs are being flooded with hundreds of people sick with H1N1!   Michigan Department of Community Health reports that three adults and one infant are the latest people to die from H1N1.  Health officials are asking people to start wearing masks! State health official, Matt Davis, warned that “These deaths are among previously healthy individuals. This is not the group that the public usually thinks about as being susceptible to serious illness with influenza.”

Minnesota, U.S.A.:  Department of Health reporting 71 hospitalizations, double the number from the previous week.

Nebraska, U.S.A.: Lab tests say 98% of cases are H1N1.

New Mexico, U.S.A.: UNM Hospital reporting its first H1N1 case of 2014.  The University hospital saw 12 H1N1 cases in December 2013.

Oregon, U.S.A: A five years old boy died from H1N1.  He got sick a few days before Xmas.  The parents first though it was whooping cough because of the sound of his coughs.  Local hospital officials thought the boy was well enough to be sent home.  On Xmas day he collapsed and stopped breathing.  Local hospital officials told the family they could not handle his case, he was transferred to Portland.  He died in Portland because his brain went too long without oxygen.

A Lincoln, Oregon, family also says their 53 years old sister died of H1N1 after being admitted to the Adventist Medical Center.  Officials with the Adventist Medical Center, as well as other Oregon health officials, are reporting skyrocketing H1N1 cases.

Texas, U.S.A.:  Hidalgo County Health and Human Services reports six new deaths. Denton County Health Department reporting 265 confirmed cases by the end of December.  Saint Joseph Hospital reporting that nurses are getting sick.

Utah, U.S.A.: At least 237 people hospitalized, two people died.  One family talked about how their mother kept getting worse even with all the doctor prescribed treatments, until she had to be hospitalized.

Washington, U.S.A.: A Thurston County man died from flu infection. He was the second person in the Evergreen State to die from this season’s flu.

Almost every U.S. state reporting increasing cases of H1N1, the same can be said for Canada.

Alberta, Canada:  Five people are now dead, with 965 confirmed H1N1 cases. 270 people hospitalized, health officials declaring Alberta under an H1N1 outbreak.  This despite their mass immunizations program.  Health clinics in Calgary City are reporting hours long lines of people wanting to get the flu shot!  Health officials claim one in five Albertans have been vaccinated. The Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton closed one ward, due to an outbreak.

British Columbia, Canada:  BC Centre for Disease Control reminding people of a study conducted during the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic.  That study concluded that people who got the H1N1 vaccine were almost guaranteed to get sick!  The study was dismissed by Bilderberg (Bill Gates) controlled international vaccination organizations. A second study was done using ferrets, and it backs up the 2009 BC-CDC study. The British Columbia studies concluded the same thing as the USDA study; basically the H1N1 vaccine is adversely affecting your anti-bodies’ ability to fight off the H1N1 virus.

Ontario, Canada: Toronto Public Health reports two deaths.  Three other people are confirmed to have died in the province.  York Region public health confirms 14 cases.  The Regional Municipality of Peel confirms the majority of flu cases are H1N1.  The Middlesex-London Health Unit reporting that a third of infected people being hospitalized.

Saskatchewan, Canada: In the Prairie Province, H1N1 is being blamed for three deaths.  So far, 161 confirmed cases, seven people hospitalized.  Prince Albert Parkland Health Region confirms 18 cases.

Influenza

Influenza H1N1: Nurse fired for refusing vaccine, and not being religious! Mass vaccinations in Canada! H1N1 a fast killer of 20 year olds! Testosterone counteracts vaccines! Proof it’s too late for flu shots anyway!

31 December 2013 (01:40 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Safar 1435/10 Dey 1392/29 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention says influenza is now widespread in the states of Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.  Four children have died.

Alabama, U.S.A.: Health officials in Madison County report spiking cases.  They also report lack of Tamiflu anti-viral treatments.  However, they say “…it starts to present itself with just generally not feeling good all over, then the fever will hit. The minute that fever hits, go get treatment….” They also say “…wash your hands, get proper rest, don’t share drinks or towels…..Make sure your body is hydrated.”   Doctors in Huntsville are reporting record number of at least 20 cases per day: “For me it is a record because we have been here 10 years, and my earliest case was December 8th. This year it was December 3rd. Normally influenza is a January/February sort of thing, so it is very early and we are seeing plenty.”– Marshall Plotka, Phoenix Emergency Care

Alaska, U.S.A.: Health officials admit flu cases are spiking, but they don’t have hard-n-fast numbers, due to no laws requiring such info.  Alaskan news media reported that on 29 December 2013 there is supposed to be new laws in effect that require public reporting of adult deaths related to influenza.

Illinois, U.S.A.: Hospitals in Chicago are reporting hundreds of new cases since Xmas day.

Louisiana, U.S.A.: More than 16-hundred cases reported, so far.

Massachusetts, U.S.A.:  State health officials say H1N1 is now the dominate flu strain in the Bay State.

Michigan, U.S.A.: Department of Community Health reports one infant killed by H1N1.  Official flu activity level raised from Local to Regional.

Minnesota, U.S.A.:  More than 100 people are hospitalized with H1N1.  Officials are expecting cases to “increase”.

Missouri, U.S.A.: A 29 years old man with autism, died shortly after being diagnosed with H1N1.  His mother, Alene Porter, said by the flu was fast acting: “He had a cough and a low-grade fever and he came up to me and said, ‘Mom, I don’t feel well.'”  He was taken to the hospital, and died.  Health Department reporting more than 12-hundred cases just in the Northwest Region of the state.  Six times higher than the five year average!

Montana, U.S.A.: Richland County Health Department confirmed the first flu cases of the 2013-14 season.  Yellowstone County reporting that ten people are hospitalized with flu, double the number from the same time last year.

Nevada, U.S.A.: Washoe County Health District reporting a spike in H1N1 cases. Health officials there admit they have no ‘official’ standardized flu testing or reporting guidelines, and that they literally guess at how many people die from flu, by using U.S. CDC estimates.

North Dakota, U.S.A.: Health officials report that 14% of all confirmed flu cases are H1N1.  New confirmed flu cases jumped from 86 on 14 December to 165 on 21 December.

Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: A pregnant nurse lost her job for refusing to get the flu shot.  She stated that it could cause her to miscarry, and that vaccines have unknown proprietary ingredients.  She also pointed to studies that show vaccines do not help pregnant women! Basically she was refusing the flu shot for personal reasons that were based on scientific analysis. But here’s the real outrage, if she had refused for religious reasons she would still have her job: “I have taken care of patients who have become paralyzed after having the shot and if that can happen to a full grown person who knows what can happen to a growing fetus. It is frustrating that someone can say ‘religiously I can’t do this’ but I can say I’m not comfortable about this for serious medical reasons and I lose my job!”-Dreonna Breton

South Dakota, U.S.A.: Health officials report a jump in cases in the cities of Rapid City and Yankton.  They are perplexed as to why there is a spike in cases just in those two locations, and not uniformly throughout the state.

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Doctors are reporting increased cases, 95% being H1N1!  In Willette, a 36 years old pastor died from H1N1.  His wife, who is a physicians assistant, begged him to go to the hospital but he refused.  Doctors point out that some influenzas can take you down within 48 hours of infection.

Texas, U.S.A.: A teenager in Houston is the latest victim.  Health officials are not making public any further info. At least 13 people have died from flu in the city of Houston.  In Beaumont, at least five H1N1 deaths.  A Fox news TV station is reporting that many Texas families are deliberately avoiding this year’s flu vaccine.  In Tatum, a 14 years old girl was taken down fast by H1N1.  She was taken to the hospital after getting sick, but she only got worse and was life flighted to Dallas Children’s Hospital.  She’s in critical condition and needs a lung bypass.  There are at least 22-hundred lab confirmed flu cases in Texas, so far.

Alberta, Canada: Officials with Alberta Health Services report 90% of flu cases are H1N1, two people have died, more than 100 hospitalized.  Health officials are begging people to get the flu shot, and have begun mass vaccinations.  South Calgary Health Centre reporting more than 274 confirmed cases of flu.

Manitoba, Canada: Health officials say 80% of flu cases are H1N1.  But they are not freaking out about flu shots like other health departments.  Manitoba officials say H1N1 is now the “normal” flu strain among their residents.

Ontario, Canada: Thunder Bay District Health reports two people dead from H1N1.  Flu cases have almost doubled in one week.

Saskatchewan, Canada: The Ministry of Health reporting increasing flu cases, and want residents to get vaccinated.

The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital says their latest study shows your body’s own PD-1 protein makes you sick.  It’s aka as the Programmed Cell Death Receptor (encoded within the human PDCD1 gene).  It prevents your own T-cells from protecting you from influenza. Scientists blocked PD-1’s associated ligand PDL-1 in mice, and found they could fight off flu infections easily, as a result.  The PDL-1 block was administered in a nose spray.

A new study says the testosterone levels in men prevent vaccines from working: “….we identified a cluster of genes involved in lipid biosynthesis and previously shown to be up-regulated by testosterone that correlated with poor virus-neutralizing activity in men. Moreover, men with elevated serum testosterone levels and associated gene signatures exhibited the lowest antibody responses to TIV. [Trivalent Influenza Vaccine]” 

Why is the main streamer news media continually telling us “It’s not too late to get the flu shot”? Remember that nurse in Pennsylvania who refused on scientific grounds to take the flu shot? Turns out the hospital chain she worked for had set a deadline for all employees to get vaccinated by 15 November!  This implies that you’re too late if you get a flu shot now!

Influenza

Influenza: H1N1 behind growing number of mystery deaths in the U.S.? 24% failure rate for flu vaccine? Medical personnel refuse flu shot! Infections double in one week!

25 December 2013 (23:11 UTC-07 Tango 24 December 2013)/21 Safar 1435/04 Dey 1392/23 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

Illinois, U.S.A.: 15 hospitals in Chicago report increasing cases of flu, especially H1N1.

Florida, U.S.A.: I’ve been hearing reports of growing numbers of people dying, and public health officials giving no explanation why.  Some cases sound much like what happened to a Pasco County, Florida, woman (Holly Harrelson) who died at the end of November 2013 (it wasn’t reported by officials until last week!), just hours after getting sick (she posted on Facebook that she ” was riding shotgun with death”).

I got a message about a USN veteran, Neil Joseph Gallette , who died in Florida  in the same hospital as Holly Harrelson.  The person who wrote me said Gallette was suffering the same flu symptoms, but ‘officials’ downplayed his death.

My research showed that after Operation Desert Storm, Gallette was arrested for the death of his six month old son.  His son died of brain injuries.  This was back in 1993, and local news reports called the veteran a “charity” father, or homeless vet.  Is this why his death, 20 years later, was downplayed?

The Trinity Memorial Gardens obituary confirmed Neil Joseph Gallette died on 21 December 2013.  The obituary called him a USN veteran.  No other details given.

Pasco County health officials did confirm a man died of H1N1, back on 09 December.  They did not give his name or any other details.  The U.S. CDC does not require adult deaths to be publicly reported, only the deaths of children.  (this could be the main reason for the ‘mystery’ in lack of reporting adult deaths)

Nevada, U.S.A.: The Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health confirms “deaths” caused by complications of influenza.

Texas, U.S.A.: In Gregg County, Good Shepherd Medical Center reports two people died from H1N1. One of the victims was a 37 years old man who got sick at the end of November.

In Beaumont, Jefferson County, two people died from “complications” brought on by H1N1.

In Montgomery County, four people died.

In Travis County, one confirmed H1N1 death, a 30 years old woman with no other health problems.

In Harris County, officials confirmed three deaths caused by H1N1, in the past week.  One family reported that their 50 years old grandfather, who was a plumber, said he was feeling “bad”.  They checked on him at his home on 19 December, and he had died!

Hidalgo County reporting nine confirmed cases of H1N1.  Six adults, three children.

Victoria County: “We have experienced an unusually high number of cases, comparable to the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.”-John McNeill, Twin Fountains Walk-In Health Clinics

U.S. CDC health officials reporting that Texas is one of four states being hit hardest by H1N1 (the others are Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama).  Health officials say if you get hit hard with H1N1 get to a hospital ’cause you might need to be on a ventilator to stay alive. However: “There’s a subset of those patients who cannot be kept alive even on a ventilator.”-Jordan Weingarten, Seton Medical Center

Wyoming, U.S.A.: Health officials confirmed that H1N1 is the number one flu in the Cowboy State.

Alberta, Canada: Health officials continue to report spikes in flu cases, mainly H1N1.  One death has been confirmed to be caused by H1N1.  Gerry Predy, a provincial health official, says the number of H1N1 cases have doubled in the past week.  Predy also says the version of H1N1 that’s on the attack this year has been around for at least five years.

An outbreak of H1N1 has been found in the medical staff of Misericordia Hospital.  Hospital officials claim that 42% of medical staff had gotten the flu vaccine, including some of those that are sick!  It’s interesting to note that the rest of the hospital staff are refusing to get the flu shot!

Ontario, Canada: The Thunder Bay District Health Unit says their district “…leads the province with the highest number of emergency room visits for patients experiencing symptoms of influenza….” 

Officials with Ottawa Public Health say two thirds of confirmed flu cases are turning out to be H1N1.

Officials with the Middlesex-London Health Unit says reported flu cases continue to go up.  They also report that 86% of people sick with flu did not get vaccinated.  That means that 24% of people who did get the flu shot still got sick!

Health officials say it takes at least two weeks for a flu shot to become effective.  So, if you get sick immediately after getting vaccinated, you just wasted your time and money!

China: The China CDC is ordering more flu shots for old people.  It’s their response to growing number of confirmed H1N1 infections (as well as other flus).

Influenza: H1N1 behind people “riding shotgun with death”! Link proven between flu, narcolepsy and vaccines! Global medical martial law in effect!

U.S.A., Florida: A Pasco County woman died from H1N1.  It took only hours for the H1N1 to kill her.  The 27 years old mother of three drove herself to the hospital, then within a few hours was dead. She posted on Facebook “I’m riding shotgun with death.”

“Right now in Houston, there are two outbreaks of respiratory illness and both can cause death.”-Pedro Piedra, Baylor College of Medicine

“I think that there is something going on that they are not telling people. I just wonder if they are related, do they work together? What do they have in common? They haven’t mentioned any of that.”-Laura Bentoe, Texas resident concerned there is a connection between H1N1 and RSV

U.S.A., Texas: In Montgomery County, one of eight people with a mystery disease has been confirmed to have H1N1.  Four of those people with the mystery disease have died.  Tests for two surviving patients indicate they do not have H1N1, test results for a third surviving patient are not in, yet.  All patients had flu like symptoms, but initial tests did not show any influenza infection.  This proves that current medical tests for H1N1 are not reliable.  Medical officials in Texas say H1N1 (aka Swine Flu) is turning out to be the dominant flu in the Lone Star State.  One health official pointed out that it’s good luck that this flu season’s flu shot just happens to cover H1N1.  In fact the H1N1 that’s going around is the exact strain of H1N1 in the new flu shot. I wounder……?

U.S.A., Colorado: Weld County reports one person has died from H1N1.  They are not releasing anymore details.

U.S.A., Georgia: Hundreds of people coming into hospitals sick with flu, including H1N1.  Four people have died.  Health officials say the people getting hit hardest are middle agers: “The cases we’ve had that have been really sick have been the middle aged people, where they get this pneumonia type pattern…..I don’t recall having this many patients as in prior years. A lot of people are requiring the ICU care and going on the ventilator and they’re the ones that have the chance of dying.”-Kenneth Horlander, Emory Clark-Holder Clinic

U.S.A., Mississippi: Health officials say the only flu strain hitting the Magnolia state is H1N1: “The only type of flu identified in Mississippi so far this year is the 2009 influenza A H1N1 strain, which has in past years primarily affected those under 65 years of age. This year, we’ve received reports of serious complications and some deaths associated with influenza infection in those under 65. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 80% of the deaths were in people younger than 65, unlike a typical flu season in which the majority of deaths occur in those 65 and older.”-Thomas Dobbs, Mississippi State Department of Health

U.S.A., California: According to a new study by the Stanford University School of Medicine, H1N1 can cause narcolepsy (sleeping sickness, people falling asleep uncontrollably at anytime) in people with specific genetic traits.  A protein in the virus mimics a protein called hypocretin in the human brain.  This mimicry causes the human immune system to attack the hypocretin protein of the brain. Hypocretin is what helps you stay awake and alert.  This problem first showed up in 2009, when it was noticed that some people developed narcolepsy after getting an H1N1 flu vaccination!

U.S.A., Utah: Hospitals in northern Utah are asking people who think they’re sick with flu to stay away!  Hospital officials don’t want people sick with flu visiting patients.  Of course, if you’re real bad off with flu and need to be admitted as a patient they’ll take you.  Obama Care anyone? Oh, that coverage doesn’t start ’till next year, and not even for everyone. Reports say 44 Utahans have been hospitalized with flu, so far this season.

Canada, Alberta: Officials with AHS South Zone report 97 confirmed flu cases, with a spike in H1N1 in the past three weeks.

Canada, Ontario: The Middlesex-London Health Unit reporting that H1N1 is dominant flu strain.  At least 12 confirmed cases of A(H1N1)pdm09.  Even though 11 of those did not get vaccinated, one of them did get the flu shot.

Canada, British Columbia: Health officials on the western side of Canada are pointing out that this season’s H1N1 is the same strain that spread around the World in 2009.   They also point out that this season’s flu shot contains the very same H1N1, and they think people need to get vaccinated now: “The H1N1 virus will appear to most people like the regular flu. Most people will recover. But hospitalizations and death are possible and with H1N1 that’s most likely for young people with chronic conditions.”-Danuta Skowronski, BC Centre for Disease Control

Grenada: The Trinidad-based Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) reporting three confirmed H1N1 cases.  The first case was confirmed in November.  They’re telling people to watch for symptoms of sudden high fever, dry cough, headache, muscle/joint pain, severe malaise, sore throat and runny nose (better hurry up and catch it before it runs away).

France: At the end of November 47 people were finally freed from their imprisonment, after arriving at the airport of Toulouse-Blagnac.  They were quarantined after other airline passengers reported they were showing signs of H1N1, like coughing.  All were found to be flu free.

Mexico: Mexican news media revealing that H1N1 was a topic of discussion at the Global Health Security Initiative (GHSI) meeting held on 13 December in Rome, Italy.  Mexican officials say they’ve been preparing for this new H1N1 pandemic since 2005!  They also revealed plans to build new Level 3 labs in Mexico.

Also, at the 13 December GHSI meeting, the British empire country of Canada announced their full support: “Our government is committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadians by sharing Canada’s expertise with global health experts. International collaborations such as the Global Health Security Initiative help Canada stay ahead of emerging public health threats and respond more effectively when epidemics emerge.”-Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health

The UN World Health Organization has revised their death toll numbers from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.  At least 203-thousand people were killed, that’s ten times more than first reported.  Researchers said that because of the way deaths are reported the actual 2009 H1N1 death toll could be 400-thousand. And the Americas were hit hardest: “This study confirms that the H1N1 virus killed many more people globally than originally believed. We also found that the mortality burden of this pandemic fell most heavily on younger people and those living in certain parts of the Americas.”-Lone Simonsen, George Washington University

H7N9 update: Emergencies declared, evolved to human to human flu!

19 September 2013 (21:13 UTC-07 Tango 18 September 2013)/14 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/28 Shahrivar 1392/15 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

“…..prepare for a possible resurgence of H7N9…identify synergies of the human health, animal health and other sectors…”-Konuma Hiroyuki, UNFAO Assistant Director-General

Scientists with the Erasmus University Medical Center, in Netherlands, say the H7N9 virus has evolved to be passed from human to human.

The virus now clings to human mucous membranes in the nose and throat.  A few days before the announcement that H7N9 is now a human virus, the director of the U.S. CDC, Thomas Frieden, uttered these famous last words: “The only thing protecting us from a global pandemic right now is the fact that it doesn’t yet spread from person to person.”

The Netherlands study also showed that H7N9 replicates easily in pigs.

This news comes as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) announced two emergency projects in South East Asia, to stop the spread of H7N9 in farm animals.

Another study, published in the 21 August issue of Nature, confirmed that H7N9 originated in ducks and chickens.
