It's now being reported that Mitchell Wiener, an assistant principal of a high school in Queens, NY died of swine flu yesterday. Previously, when he was hospitalized last week, NY's Mayor Michael Bloomberg was quoted in the NY Post as saying that Mr. Wiener had "a pre-exisiting" health condition. As far as I've been able to find, now word of what that pre-existing condition has been stated in the media. Instead, we are being told simply that swine flu killed Mr. Wiener.
But did it?
Before that question can be answered, the following questions must also be asked:
What was Mr. Wiener's pre-exisiting condition?
How long did he have it (from the pictures of him now appearing in the media, neither he nor his wife look healthy and both are overweight)?
While hospitalized, was he exposed to infectious bacteria and/or viruses? (Hospitals are notorious for being breeding grounds for such infectious agents; as a result, many people in the US each year die from infections that they did not have prior to being hospitalized.)
What was Mr. Wiener's immune status prior to being exposed to H1N1 (swine flu)?
By all accounts, Mr. Wiener was an exemplary educator who went well beyond the call of duty when it came to his job description, and his passing is a tragic loss for all who knew him. But we still do not know for certain whether or not H1N1 was the primary factor in his passing. And even if it was, there is still no call for alarm. Mahy people regularly die from "normal" flu-related causes, too. When they do, it isn't front page news.

Tamiflu And Other Fun Facts (Swine Flu Redux)
The shelf life of Tamiflu is three years. After that, it cannot be used.
The last time governments around the world (especially the U.S.) stockpiled Tamiflu was in 2006 (3 years ago). Said stock piles can no longer be used.
The reason Tamiflu was stockpiled by governments in 2006 - avian (bird) flu, aka SARS.
The reason governments around the world are once again stockpiling Tamiflu - the H1N1 virus aka swine flu.
Parallels between SARS and H1N1:
Widespread fear, primarily fostered by the World Health Organization (WHO), The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), various governments and the media.
Economic and social turmoil.
Widespread slaughter of chickens (SARS) and pigs (H1N1).
World placed on alert for widespread pandemic(s).
Talk of government-enforced quarantines.
Huge financial windfall for the makers of Tamiflu (as well as for other vaccine makers). Ka-Ching! Ka-Ching!
Last swine flu outbreak - 1976.
Some noteworthy results of 1976 swine flu outbreak:
Zero to few deaths directly caused by swine flu (depending on one's source).
At least 25 people killed as a direct result of being vaccinated in order to be protected from swine flu.
Dozens of people paralyzed as a direct result of receiving said vaccinations, including healthy people in their 20s. (The paralysis was caused by Guillain Barre, a nerve disorder caused by the vaccine.)
Potential side effects caused by Tamiflu vaccine:
Brain Infections
Convulsions
Delirium
Psychotic Behavior
Death (over a dozen Japanese teenagers died as a direct result of being vaccinated with Tamiflu; for this reason Tamiflu has been banned in Japan since 2007).
Other, more common side effects of Tamiflu:
Coughing
Diarrhea
Dizziness
Fainting
Headache
Nausea
Vomiting
All of which can also be caused by swine and other types of flu.
Time decrease of swine flu symptoms Tamiflu is said to achieve by its manufacturer: 24-36 hours.
Total confirmed swine flu deaths as of this writing (last time I checked-May 5, 2009): 19
Average number of people killed by lightning strikes each year - 1,100-1,200.
Yep, we have a pandemic all right!
Primary take away message of WHO, CDC, world governments, and the media regarding H1N1 virus:
Be afraid! Be very afraid!
Your choice: To believe or not to believe.

Swine Flu-The Hype and the Hoax
Last week the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that - OOPS! - there have only been 7 deaths from swine flu - not 152 or more. You can read WHO's statement here:
http://www.smh.com.au/world/only-7-swine-flu-deaths-not-152-says-who-20090429-aml1.html
I doubt that will corral the media's fear festival for a while, though. Not when the makers of the two supposedly effective drugs announced for swine flu (one of which, Tamiflu, is known to cause death and psychotic behavior in teens) are laughing all the way to the bank now that Janet (9/11 Was Caused By Terrorists Who Crossed the Canadian Border-What? I'm Wrong?-Well, I Don't Want To Focus On The Past, I Want To Focus on the Future and the Future Is that Canada Has A Border) Napolitano (Seriously, she actually said all that!) and other government puppets around the world have caused Big Pharma's coffers to go KA-CHING KA-CHING with government mandated purchases of said drugs. Nobody serves Big Pharma better after all than idiot reporters who don't know the first thing about investigative journalism and government bureaucrats in thrall to the Drug and other Big Industries.
Talk about a bad movie. One that we already experienced a few years ago. Then it was called bird flu (SARS) and after all the hoopla of that manufactured fear fest died down (no pun intended) the upshot was (and is) that a total of less than 300 people worldwide died of SARS and all of them were either living and working in highly unhealthy, unsanitary conditions (those in Asia) or already significantly immune compromised (mostly elderly patients in Toronto). That time, Napolitano's stand-in was Tommy (I Love Big Pharma) Thompson and others in the previous White House junta. (Yes, I view the Obama WH just as cynically, if not more so)
In the case of the current swine flu hoopla, only people in Mexico have died. They too live in very unfortunate circumstances, not the least of which, in Mexico City and elsewhere, is some of the worst air pollution on the planet (so thick at times that I literally could not see across the street at street level when I was there, and things have only gotten worse since then), which in and of itself is a serious suppressor of immunity. And even in the 7 cases that WHO has now downscaled to, no actual autopsy has been performed that definitely proves swine flu was the cause of death. (These days, health authorities rely on the presence of antibodies as proof of the presence of a specific disease. Such nonsense has repeatedly been debunked by investigative journalist Jon Rappoport, and you can find more about why I agree with him by reading his posts on the subject on his website, www.nomorefakenews.com. Bottom line, all antibodies prove is that your body is doing the job it was designed to do. The exact opposite of what WH0, the CDC, and others twist their presence to mean with regard to viruses.)
What's also not being much focused upon is that this is not the first so-called outbreak of swine flu in the US. A previous flare up occurred in the 1970s when Gerald (Tumbledown) Ford was prez and wanted to mandate swine flu vaccinations for everyone. Fortunately, not enough vaccine was available for him to do so. I say fortunately because no one died of swine flu back then, yet 25 people died of the vaccine, hundreds of others were seriously injured by it (including at a number of cases of paralysis), and mutliple lawsuits were brought about Big Pharma as a result.
I wrote more about swine flu in my newsletter last week (www.1healthyworld.com/ezine/vol7no12.cfm ), including common sense precautions that are basically free and available to anyone who wants to take responsibility for his/her health.
The bottom line is this - don't belief the hype and hysteria. You have a choice: Become informed and follow common sense health practices, or live in fear and line up for your potentially fatal vaccine shot when our government gets around to making Ford's wish come true. (With the Dems in power, that's more likely than ever, especially with clowns like Congressman Waxman increasingly gaining control over our nation's health care policies.)
