The WHO are using the flu pandemic of 1918 - 1919 as one of the reasons to justify declaring the current H1N1 swine flu as a pandemic. The circumstances now are very different from 1918-19. Back then there was no vaccines and no anti-viral drugs. All the people had to treat the flu was aspirin. According to Dr. Karen M. Starko, in a report in Clinical Infectious Diseases, there is a probability that many of the people who died of influenza may instead of died due to aspirin drug overdose.

With backing from the respected Journal of the American Medical Association, people took 1000-milligrams doses of the drug every three hours, which today is the equivalent of taking 25 standard 325 milligram tablets in a 24-hour period.

This level of aspirin overdose is now recognised, in some people, to result in toxicity and build-up of fluid in the lungs, it is this fluid in the lungs which may have contributed to the seriousness of symptoms, bacterial infections, and death.

There is a report from one pathologist at the time that the quantity of bloody, watery fluid he discovered in the lungs during autopsies was too much for it to be triggered by viral pneumonia (a complication of the flu). Instead he believed the watery liquid must have been brought on by something else, -- aspirin overdose.

The Year 2009.

Every year in the USA, on average, 36000 people die from getting the seasonal influenza. In the United Kingdom, in a normal year, 12000 people will die from the seasonal flu. World wide it has been anticipated that approximately a half-million people will die as a result of having the seasonal influenza.

Does the WHO declare a world-wide influenza pandemic at level 6 every year for the seasonal influenza. No. They do not.

According to the WHO on June 11, 2009. In the United States there were 13217 cases of swine flu and 27 deaths. In the UK there were 822 cases and zero deaths. World-wide there were 28744 confirmed cases of the swine flu and 144 deaths.

In a statement to the press on June 11, 2009 the Director-General of the WHO, Dr Margaret Chan, said that after conferring with leading H1N1 swine flu experts, virologists, and public health officials and an Emergency Committee established for this purpose. It was agreed to raise the level of the swine flu pandemic alert from phase 5 to phase 6.

More than half a million people dying from seasonal influenza every year is not enough dead people for the World Health Organisation to issue a pandemic alert of level 6. When 144 people die from the swine flu virus this very small number of dead people IS more than enough for the WHO to proclaim a pandemic alert of level 6. This is strange.

With 12000 people every year dying from the seasonal influenza the United Kingdom government usually buys up to fifteen million doses of seasonal flu vaccine. Three quarters of which go to the over 65s.

With a death rate of zero, on June 11, the UK Government has purchased 120 million doses of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine. Enough vaccine for every person in the UK to have two vaccines. This is irrational.

According to the vaccine manufacturers, during the 2008 flu season in the US, 143 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine were made available for people to buy at no cost to the United States Government.

The United States Government has ordered 250 million doses of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine at a cost of two billion dollars and has promised to buy enough to vaccinate every American if there is enough demand.

With 36000 people dying from seasonal flu every year the US Government spends nothing. Yet when twenty-seven people die from the swine flue virus the US Government spends two billion dollars on a vaccine. Why.

Something strange is going on.
