Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 25-26 October 2013. More hobby shops go down! More university cuts! More auto industry layoffs! 500 healthcare workers laid off! Hundreds of attorneys fired!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

Internet video game maker, The Playforge, laid off an undisclosed number of employees.  However, the company’s website says “We’re hiring!”

California: Who said internet businesses are thriving? In Los Angeles, SpinMedia laid off about 30 employees, and shutdown eight of their websites.  Company officials say they are no longer making a profit on the internet!

Colorado: The Denver Post laid off six employees.

Florida: Miami based LexisNexis Legal & Professional laid off 205 employees across the U.S.!  It’s blamed on a merger with a marketing company.

Massachusetts: Reports that the Ashland Malt Shop shutdown.  Reports say the owner had to sell out after 25 years of business.

Michigan: In Farmington Hills, Sprint laid off 56 employees.

Minnesota: In Le Sueur, an ALCO grocery store shutdown: “The economy has clearly had an impact on store sales, and we’ve made the very difficult decision to close.”-company statement

Missouri: Officials with Drury University said they laid off less than 10 people, and shutdown 35 open positions. Officials blame it on declining student enrollment.

New Jersey: In Collingswood, Casona restaurant shutdown.  The owner blames it on personal injuries and problems with a business partner.

New York: Long Island College Hospital laid off 500 people!

Pennsylvania: Edinboro University eliminated 30 positions, and warned of more cuts because of “dire straights”.  Officials blame the bad economy for cutting funding and enrollment.  In Pottstown, Weis Market shutdown “due to continuing under-performance”.  35 jobs lost.  In Bloomsburg, Windsor Foods shutdown, 160 jobs lost! This is the same food factory that was scheduled to get $15-million USD in federal taxes to build a flood barrier around the factory.  The catch was that Windsor Foods was supposed to spend $1-million of their own money on the flood prevention project, but they say they don’t have it, so they shutdown.

South Dakota: In Souix Falls, movie entertainment provider to hotels and hospitals, Sonifi, laid off at least 70 people.  It’s blamed on new owners.

Texas: What automotive industry recovery?  More layoffs by Gulf States Toyota. This time 83 jobs lost in Houston.  It’s blamed on “a change in business objectives”.

Virginia: In Salem, reports that tax sucker General Electric laid off about 20 employees.

Washington: Public relations company, Waggener Edstrom, laid off 43 employees. Company officials blame it on changes with their biggest client, Microsoft.

Wisconsin: In Wausau a 50 years old hobby store shutdown.  The owner of Pope’s Hobbyland said it was time he retired.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

World War 3, East Asian False Flag Front: North Korean rocket made with U.S. electronics!

16 February 2014 (00:56 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/27 Bahman 1392/17 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Despite international sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), sections of a rocket recovered after its launch, in 2012, revealed it was made with electronic parts from the U.S., United Kingdom and Switzerland!   Is this why leaders of the U.S. and U.K. were so sure the rocket was really a ballistic missile, because they were involved?

This latest news is being leaked by unnamed Republic of Korea (South Korea) officials.  South Korea recovered some of the rocket sections that splashed down in the ocean after the December 2012 launch.  The unnamed RoK officials believe the electronic parts were not covered under U.S. led international sanctions, saying anybody could buy them!

World War 3, East Asian Front: Obama regime to base nuke weapons in Japan! More proof U.S. claims against Iran are bogus!

15 February 2014 (13:48 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/26 Bahman 1392/16 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Kyodo News reports that neo-imperialist Foreign Minister Kishida Fumio announced Japan is willing to allow the Obama regime to base nuclear weapons in Japan.  This is a direct result of increasing tensions between Japan, China, Korea and several other east Asian countries over the oil rich areas in and around the South China Sea.

But wait, there’s more.  Turns out that Japan has had this ‘secret’ nuclear weapons deal with the United States since the Cold War, revealed in 2010 by then Foreign Minister Okada Katsuya:“We have never been able to categorically assert that no nuclear weapons were brought into Japan.”

It turns out there are U.S. nuke weapons on Okinawa, in direct violation of the Japanese signing of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as well as their own non-nuclear policies which state that no nuclear weapons are allowed in Japan.

I’ve written before that Japan is probably building nuke weapons, after the head of Japan’s Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) admitted they were not ensuring that nuclear material was being used for “peaceful purposes”, saying the AEC was only a “formality”.

Japan has also made a deal with Turkey to reprocess nuclear fuel, allowing Turkey to extract weapons grade plutonium for Japan!  Nuclear analysts have surmised that if Japan openly went for building nuke weapons it could do it in less than 12 months.

Japan even wants to get involved with the Iranian nuclear program! So why is the United States all hot and bothered about Iran?

Remember, Japan is a puppet of the United States, and the Obama regime has repeatedly stated they will back up Japan even if it means war with China or North Korea.  Obama is not bringing the troops back home from the illegal War on Terror, he’s  shifting U.S. military power to Japan, and South Korea, for the coming war with China.

Japan wants UN to recognize slave labor industry as a “World Heritage”!

Japan wants UN to recognize suicide bombers as a “World Heritage”!

Japan to build nuclear power plants in Iran!

Official Orwellian Double-Speak pro-war propaganda program has begun 

Japanese leaders overheard talking about invading Korea!

Japanese news media is reporting that Hagel is planning to officially ask Japan to prepare to take over some U.S. military ops

Trilateral Commission member, Japan, to create new Homeland Security office!

Japan enters U.S. data collection/spying market!

Imperialist Japan to increase military spending by tens of billions 

TriLateral Imperialism as the U.S. mulls allowing Japan to invade Korea!!!

The Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller in 1973.  The official goal is to foster economic and political co-operation between Japan, North American countries and European countries (notice these are the regions that are currently in big economic trouble).

In 2000, the Japan membership was expanded to include many other Asian countries, and is now called the Pacific Asian Group.

In April 2013, Japan became a member of NATO (which has become the Trilateral Commission’s military unit): “…..You might ask why the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should come to the Pacific region.  The answer is very simple.  Today’s NATO is a new NATO.  It’s a NATO with a global perspective.  It’s a NATO with global partners.  And Japan is our longest-standing global partner…..NATO and Japan are like-minded……we can help the United Nations and the international community to reinforce the rules-based international system……we need common approaches and responses…….To confront global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks, and proliferation…..And I am delighted that later today, Prime Minister Abe and I will sign a Joint Political Declaration to guide our future work.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General, from statement made on the morning of 15 April 2013, Japan National Press Club

Exceptional Failed State: Sears shuts down 4 years old store! More massive Kmart closings! Customer data stolen! Sears admits to ripping off employees!

15 February 2014 (01:23 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/26 Bahman 1392/16 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

The Inlet Square Mall, in South Carolina, loses a Kmart.  A 40 years old West Ashely, South Carolina, Kmart shut down.  The property has already been sold off for $10-million USD!  Sears shuts down a Craftsman Experience store in Illinois, after only four years of operations.  Illinois also losing the Galesburg Sears.  Colorado Springs, Colorado, lost another Kmart.  New York losing two more Kmarts.  Wisconsin losing two long time Kmarts in May. Washington losing a 26 years old Kmart in April.  Virginia loses a Newport News Kmart.  Indiana losing their Logansport Sears in May.   Ohio losing a Kmart in May.  In Kentucky, a Cannonsburg Sears will close in May, the Auto Center will close at the end of February.  Two Minnesota Kmarts closing.  One in March, one in May.  New Mexico loses another Kmart.

Officials are reporting that a robber got away with customer’s pharmacy data from a Wind Gap, Pennsylvania, Kmart store. The robbery happened at the beginning of January, and police still haven’t caught the robber!

A Kmart store manager in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, has been arrested in connection with long time money thefts from two Kmarts!  Kmart officials say the manager was falsifying merchandise return and register transaction documents.  Supposedly the arrested manager said he was stealing the money to pay the IRS, and other debts.

Sears has settled a California lawsuit which accuses the company of not paying employees overtime pay.  The total settlement comes to $3.2-million.  Don’t hold your breath for Sears to actually pay that money out.

Medical Martial Law: U.S. doctor with connections to Fort Hall, Idaho, convicted of torturing children!

14 February 2014 (12:55 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/25 Bahman 1392/15 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

A famous pediatrician, now in the U.S. state of Delaware, has been convicted by his peers of waterboarding his wife’s daughter.  The sick Christian doctor tried to claim he was washing the girl’s hair!  He had been charged with other tortures as well, such as starvation, force feeding, suffocation and forcing the girl to use her toy box as a toilet.

In 2012, the girl managed to runaway and get help.  Her mother pled guilty to endangering her daughter’s life, she said she was afraid of the loving Christian doctor and went along with whatever he said.

What made this sicko famous were his two books published in the 1990s, about near death experiences (NDE).  It should have been a warning because they focused on children who died and came back to life.  He also wrote magazine articles and even appeared on Oprah and Larry King.  How could a doctor have so many encounters with children who died and came back?

He was a pediatrician who worked in the states of Washington, Delaware, California and even for the Fort Hall Indian Health Service in Idaho.  In 2007 he created The Spiritual Scientific Research Foundation, and has been praised for his NDE research by several ‘Christian’ organizations.  Is it possible he actually instigated the NDE in the helpless children under his control?   His name; Melvin Morse.

Proof medical radiation equals cancer! Nix chemo, x-ray and even mammograms! Cell phones do cause cancer, because they emit radiation, get rid of 4G! International conspiracy? Wake up people!

14 February 2014 (02:10 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/25 Bahman 1392/15 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“We are silently irradiating ourselves to death.” Doctors Rita Redberg and Rebecca Smith-Bedman, of the University of California, went on to basically say the entire U.S. medical industry is incompetent: “A recent study at one New York hospital found that nearly a third of its patients undergoing multiple cardiac imaging tests were getting a cumulative effective dose of more than 100 millisieverts of radiation — equivalent to 5,000 chest X-rays. And last year, a survey of nuclear cardiologists found that only 7 percent of stress tests were done using a “stress first” protocol (examining an image of the heart after exercise before deciding whether it was necessary to take one of it at rest), which can decrease radiation exposure by up to 75 percent.”

“Patients with Hodgkin lymphoma have a 20-fold increased risk of mesothelioma after radiotherapy.”–Clinicopathologic Characteristics of Malignant Mesotheliomas Arising in Patients With a History of Radiation for Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

A new study (see quote above) has surprising results, saying most new cases of mesothelioma are not caused by asbestos, but by exposure to radiation!  Specifically, in the case of lymphoma people who got radiation treatment ended up getting mesothelioma, sarcomas of soft tissue and bone, stomach, breast and/or thyroid cancers!  By the way, the study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital was published back in November 2013, where was the main stream news media?

If you think about it, cancer cases have been increasing as more and more stupid people are duped into undergoing medical radiation treatments for a variety of things.  ‘Simple’ x-rays, MRIs and even angeoplasty are bombarding you with radiation!

In Tennessee, former and current employees at the incompetent Methodist Medical Center are suing after being exposed to excessive levels of radiation put out by the hospital’s CT scanner.  Here’s what happened: CT scan operators and recording equipment are supposed to be protected by a radiation proof wall. Employees knew something wasn’t right when the recording equipment was failing.  Turns out the wall between the CT scanner and recording/observation room was not radiation proof!  Now realize that people are put into these massive electromagnetic radiation generators!  (Mmmm, now what was that about all those TSA scanners at the airports?)

In Washington DC, the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) has issued new rules for the use of medical radiation, admitting that previous treatments are dangerous: “….this standard will…..reduce normal tissue irradiation so patients can reap the benefits of this treatment without the risk of damaging adjacent healthy tissue. The RT-1 standard defines specific technical ‘fail safe’ provisions…..in a safe and effective manner”

The California Dental Association (CDA) has changed its rules for taking x-rays of people’s teeth.  It’s all about reducing medical radiation risks: “Dentists have a responsibility to protect their patients and staff, and to make sure necessary exposures are kept as low as reasonably achievable.”-James Stephens, CDA

Out of Canada, a study warns that treating prostate cancer with radiation causes other cancers: “Cancers of the rectum, for example, cancers of the bladder, cancers of the bloodstream that occurred…we think due to the radiation exposure.”-Robert Nam, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Also out of Canada, researchers are saying radioactive mammograms do nothing to prevent cancer deaths in women!!!

Back at the beginning of 2013, researchers from United Kingdom reported that radiation treatment for breast cancer resulted in increased risk of heart problems for women.

Researchers in New Zealand are now warning that a skin protectant should be used during all medical radiation treatment.  The University of Otago Wellington’s Department of Radiation Therapy says from day one of radiation therapy people must protect their skin.  In the past five years, five hospitals were randomly studied.  The Kiwi researchers also point out that the international medical community is grossly ignorant about the effects of radiation treatments!

I’ve always asked this question since I was a kid: “If radiation causes cancer, why do doctors treat cancer with radiation?”

In Japan, the Fukushima prefectural Dental Association, along with Tohoku University and Ohu University, has begun a five year study of the effects of the ongoing nuclear disaster there, on children’s teeth.  Radiation collects in baby teeth.  Researchers hope to collect 4-thousand teeth per year, as they fall out when the adult teeth come in.  The baby teeth will be definitive proof as to how much strontium and cesium people are being exposed to.

In May 2011, the UN’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared cell phones a Group 2B human carcinogen, because they emit radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs).   Then, in 2013 a new study backed up the UN’s claim.   The researchers surveyed Swedish people, with brain cancer, about their cell phone use.  They also compared land line phone users to 2G and 3G cell phone users.  Land line phone users had an incredibly small rate of brain cancer, while users of 3G phones had the highest rate of brain cancer.  This could be because the more powerful your cell phone is the more RF-EMF it puts out!

In India, the mayor of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Sunil Prabhu, is refusing to allow the installation of 4G cell phone towers saying “…we don’t know up to what level the towers will emanate radiation. Hence, we have instructed the administration to find out the possible effects of the same on residents’ health.”

Landlords in the United Arab Emirates have revealed that people are refusing to live in apartments near cell phone towers.

By the way, a study out of U.K. says wearing tinfoil, or aluminum foil hats (sorry Number 9 from Futurama), does not block radiation from cell phones! However, they also said cell phones are safe!

“We’ll also work to strengthen immunization programs to prevent deaths today but also to establish the infrastructure if it were needed in the future.”–Thomas Frieden, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

For fiscal year 2015 (which begins in October 2014) the Obama regime is asking Congress to fork over $45-million U.S. tax dollars to fund the CDC’s new international medical martial law op known as Global Health Security Agenda.

Barack Obama announced “Today, I joined Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and representatives of more than 25 nations, the World Health Organization, the World Organization for Animal Health, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to launch the Global Health Security Agenda.”

Chinese news media reporting 26 nations have joined the Obama regime’s international medical martial law: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Other news sources reported as many as 30 nations involved with the Trojan Horse operation.

“To achieve these goals is important to coordinate the many departments and agencies that will play a role in the Global Health Security agenda, including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, State, Defense, and the U.S. Agency for International Development.”-DHHS, GlobalHealth.gov

Note that this new “agenda” involves using the U.S. military.

It’s also interesting to note that the GlobalHealth.gov website, were you can find the pro-Global Health Security Agenda propaganda, lists people who are “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender” as a separate health problem.

“The Department of Energy is committed to working with the Bahamas government and the Port Authority to insure that detection equipment is maintained properly and is operating at optimal levels.”-Neda Brown, U.S. Embassy Bahamas

Back in January 2014, I reported that Jamaican Customs officials revealed they had been trained at U.S. taxpayer expense, by the U.S. Department of Energy, to check all imports from Japan for radiation.  Now, Customs officials in the Bahamas are making the same claim!

Last month Bahamian news media asked government officials if they were part of the U.S. sponsored radiation detection program in Jamaica.  Officials stated that the Bahamas Customs Department is not trained to detect radiation.  Now that’s changing, again at U.S. taxpayer expense.

U.S. embassy official, Neda Brown, confirmed that the DoE is now working with the Bahamian government to take part in a “radiation detection program”.

 

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Hawaiians fearful! Record levels of Cesium found in new test well! Medical personnel flee! New survey says people don’t trust main stream news reports! IAEA wants to dump more radiation into the Ocean!

The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) wants TEPCo to conduct “controlled discharges” of radiation (including tritium) into the Pacific Ocean: “The IAEA team believes it is necessary to find a sustainable solution to the problem of managing contaminated water….”-IAEA International Peer Review Mission On Mid-And-Long-Term Roadmap Towards The Decommissioning Of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Units 1-4 (Second Mission)

Tokyo Electric Power Company has revealed that a new groundwater test well is full of record levels of cesium 137 and 134.  The new well was dug near Fukushima Daiichi’s reactor Unit 2.

TEPCo detected 54-thousand becquerels per liter of cesium 137 and 22-thousand Bq per liter of cesium 134 in the groundwater.  They still don’t know where it’s coming from.  This week’s water c-137 samples are 30-thousand times higher than samples taken last week, at a different well.

The announcement came just a couple of days after Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority criticized TEPCo for hiding data on massive amounts of strontium 90 contamination.  The NRA officials said TEPCo detected the record levels of strontium 90 last September, but waited until five days ago to publicize it.  TEPCo had originally claimed they delayed publicizing the record levels of contamination because they believed their detection equipment was faulty.  (and if you’ve read all my Fukushima articles you’ll know they’ve used that excuse before)

A hospital in Fukushima Prefecture is asking for help, as many nurses refused to return to work after the March 2011 nuclear explosions.   Hirono Town Hospital officials held a recruiting event in Tokyo to try an convince nurses there to work in the nuclear disaster area.  Officials said that before the nuke disasters they had 33 nurses.  For awhile after they had only five nurses, but that number is now up to 20 nurses.  They say it’s still not enough for them to take on new patients.  The recruiting efforts include letting prospective nurses serve on ‘tours of duty’ in Hirono Town.  So far 20 nurses have served on the tours of duty, but only six have decided to stay on permanently.

The Fukushima International Association released the results of their study on foreign nationals living in the prefecture.  Most evacuated after the nuclear disasters began, but many have since returned.  However, only 53 out of 100 foreign nationals knew there was a nuclear power plant in the area prior to the explosions!  Prior to the March 2011 disasters 11190 foreign residents were living in the prefecture, as of June 2013 there were 9489 foreigners.  The number one complaint from foreigners was the lack of trustworthy information from the main stream news media, and government.

Fukushima Governor Sato Yuhei is once again pointing out the incompetence of neo-imperialist national government officials.  It turns out that the national government wants to use three towns, which are currently not adversely affected by the nuke disaster, as nuke waste storage sites.  Sato told the national government that the mayors are complaining that by turning them into nuke waste sites it will destroy their efforts to rebuild their towns.  If you think about it, why not store the nuke waste in the areas that are already highly contaminated?

A new $1-billion USD lawsuit has been filed against TEPCo.  It involves at least 79 USN personnel who took part in Operation Tomodachi, as well as a infant born with genetic problems, a U.S. teenager who was living near the disaster reactors when they blew up, and up to 70-thousand additional U.S. citizens!

‘Elected’ officials in the U.S. state of Hawaii say they are getting swamped with phone calls from people demanding proof that the food in Hawaii is not contaminated with radiation from Fukushima Daiichi!

Influenza

Influenza: H1N1 not normal “Her lungs hemorrhaged!” More proof the media misleads about vaccinations! Woman who gets flu shot, dies! ObamaCare kills insurance for woman fighting H1N1! Cats dying from H1N1! Deaths skyrocket in vaccinated Mexico!

Alberta, Canada: The University of Calgary’s veterinary facilities confirmed that a cat died from H1N1: “This is the first case that we’re aware of in Canada involving H1N1 in cats.”-Alastair Cribb, Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine

Saskatchewan, Canada: Despite massive public vaccination programs, three more people hospitalized with H1N1.  16 people have died.

Egypt:  Ministry of Health reporting that H1N1 deaths now at 38 people.  320 hospitalized.

Greece, European Union: The Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports 21 H1N1 deaths and 105 hospitalizations.

India: The city of Visakhapatnam reports its first H1N1 death of 2014. This comes as “eminent” Indian doctor, Kutikuppala Surya Rao, concluded what I’ve warned about in past articles: “Unlike polio and hepatitis-B viruses, which had not shown any genetic mutations over decades due to which vaccinations have been quite effective in controlling these ailments, swine flu viruses are undergoing changes at the genome level (ribo-nucleic acid) which is why the available vaccines, that are in use since 2009, will not be effective against the virus.”

Jordan: Ministry of Health reports first H1N1 death of 2014.  At least 25 cases.

Malaysia: The Women and Children Hospital, in Likas, reports seven confirmed and 31 suspected cases of H1N1.

Mexico: Influenza deaths now at 421 (390 from H1N1)!  An increase of almost 200 from what was reported the week prior!  3679 confirmed influenza cases, mostly H1N1 (1465 more than the week prior).  The week prior it was also reported that more than 21–million Mexicans had been vaccinated.

Arkansas, U.S.A.: The woman who got sick with H1N1 in January, then gave birth to a baby boy who died, has now died.

California, U.S.A.:  State health officials reported 202 influenza deaths as of 10 February.   That’s 11 times more than the same time period during the 2012-13 flu season.  In Turlcok, a woman is now recovering from weeks of fighting H1N1 in the hospital.  Her family is asking for financial help, because her employer canceled her health insurance on 31 December 2013, no thanks to gottdamned Obama Care!!!

Kansas, U.S.A.: Department of Health and Environment reports 16 flu deaths, which is less than half the number of people who died from influenza last year, during the same time period.

Louisiana, U.S.A.:  Department of Health and Hospitals reports two children dying from influenza.  53 total deaths since October.

Massachusetts, U.S.A.: A 49 years old woman, who got the gottdamned flu shot, died from H1N1! “That’s the kicker of the whole thing. She had the flu shot, we all did!”– Pamela Giusti, sister

Ohio, U.S.A.: Reports that paranoid people are scrambling to get the flu shot, even though there is no absolute proof it works! Local news reports say the average cost of the flu shot is $30 USD.

Oregon, U.S.A.: A 50 years old Grants Pass woman died after several weeks fighting H1N1.  Oregon health officials do not keep track of flu related cases, but some news sources say at least 14 people have died since October.

Tennessee, U.S.A.:  Scientists with Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital have discovered more genetic proof that anti-viral treatments won’t help certain people: “…elevated nasal levels of the cytokines MCP-3 and interferon alpha 2 (IFNa2) and elevated blood levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) at diagnosis predicted more severe symptoms later. Increased blood levels of IL-10 and MCP-3, as well as interleukin-6, at diagnosis predicted hospitalization later. MCP-3 and IFNa2 promote inflammation. IL-10 suppresses inflammation. Elevated IL-10 levels often signal that the body is trying to shut down the inflammatory response.”–Researchers Discover Immune Signature That Predicts Poor Outcome in Influenza Patients

Texas, U.S.A: A 46 years old woman, in Denton, died after fighting H1N1 for more than a month.  On 07 February 2014, Webb County officials reported that since the middle of January they provided more than 650 free flu shots.

Utah, U.S.A.: A five months old baby died from H1N1.  Officials say she was too young to get the flu shot. Her mother said H1N1 is not a normal flu: “She just started breathing not like a baby or anybody I have ever seen breathe…..From the 20 minutes when they called the life flight team to the time they got there she crashed…Her lungs hemorrhaged…..”-Michelle Villalobos
