Consider the following excerpts taken from the Associated Press today:
“As with the previously tested strains of the swine flu virus, new testing has found that the pathogen remains susceptible to the two common antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, according to the CDC.”
Hmmm, what are they really saying? Several things really. That the Swine Flu is no more dangerous than any other flu may be one of the most important to notice. But what do they mean by “susceptible” to these two drugs? They mean that if you can deal with the side effects of vomiting, nausea, fever, fatigue, etc., that you MIGHT get 1 to 1.5 days shorter duration of flu symptoms from the virus. If you don’t mind getting flu symptoms from the drugs.
Like always, follow the money. Read these excerpts:
“And that has led to a boom in sales of the two drugs in the United States, the AP reported Tuesday. Frightened by the prospects of the swine flu, Americans are snapping up the two antiviral medicines that treat the virus, whether they have it or not.”
“More than one-quarter of a million prescriptions for Tamiflu pills alone were filled at retail U.S pharmacies in the week ending last Friday. That's 34 times higher than the week before -- as the regular flu season wound down -- and more than double the peak of last winter's flu season, the news service said.”
Well, at least the pharmaceutical companies continue to scare and scam millions of dollars out of unsuspecting consumers during these difficult financial times.
The WHO reported Tuesday that the disease continues to spread around the globe, with 21 countries reporting 1,490 cases.
Gee, still more likely to die from a lightning strike. But every hero needs a villain, and every little microbe needs to be vilified. This method continues to extract $ from the pockets of consumers stuck in a “war against disease”. If only they focused on creating health in their bodies instead, millions would be saved.
