    Is swine flue real or?
    I watched on the TV that the swine flue was 'invented' by one of the Swiss pharmacy company. Before the 'swine flue' the pharmacy company made very little profit and after the s/ flue was 'discovered' the company started to make huge profit... The people of pharmacy were recorded by some sources having the meeting with another people discussing issues regarding the monetary income. Some time passed and swine flue became 'famous'... :The company made huge profit billions of pounds confused:

    As far as I know it is real, but (from what I've read) more people die every year from the regular flu, than the swine flu.:confused:

    Yes, it's real. People are dying from it.

    Don't believe every "conspiracy theory" that you read or see.

    I've had a member of my nursing staff who have lost her husband due to this. Also, friends and family are suffering as we speak.

    More than 1,000 people have died in the U.S. from swine flu.
    If the crooks have developed a scheme to make $$, they are pulling it off worldwide, and they have fooled the CDC and the World Health Organization.

    Yes, its real. I'd thought it was being exaggerated before. But more than half of my co-workers have been out sick with it. Some are still out sick with it too.

    I work out of a major hospital now adays and yes it is very real.

    Remember that blaming the government, insurance companies, or someone for things is common,

    It's doubtfull for me. It's not proven like chicken pox or hepatitis. It can be simple flu or flu complications. I work in hospital too and some doctors are sceptical about this... If you read _'Who benefits from swine flu vaccines', it's nicely indicate what companies. Of course to 'spread the word' and make it real you have to make it really believable. I mean people live on the streets like vagabonds, beggars and nothing apeals to them:rolleyes:

    This is actually a question for J_9 if she sees it... :rolleyes:

    I have never got a flu shot in my life (50) and have had no problem, my husband gets one every year.

    Do you think it's necessary to get one this year? They are offering 2 different kinds. I feel very weary about the new one, since it is new and I've never had one before and of course it's not mandatory. :confused:

    Its sad to hear that someone died.. I would prefer not to have all kinds of vaccinations in my body as I am not sure what concequences will be later in the future. I understand for the deseases that are old enough to know it's a disease. If God takes me, so let it be we all go there one day..

    I've had both vaccines... seasonal flu AND the H1N1. Now, the H1N1 vaccine should really be reserved for those in the high risk category... 25 and under, people with underlying medical conditions, and people working in the healthcare field.
