New militarized flu spreading like wildfire in Mexico City

    Question to Derry:

    What if you are wrong and the fact that you not getting vaccinated led to you becoming sick and infecting many people, your family & friends, etc?
    Hmm sounds a lot like Pascal's Wager.

    Yep. Given the fact that you are intentionally administering someone with a weakened strain of an illness, why are you surprised that people come away with symptoms of sickness?

    This is the whole point. You teach the body to defend itself against the weak strain, so when the full-strength strain comes along, the body is prepared.

    The reason I asked you to explain it was because I foolishly believed that the penny would drop for you.

    Ah well...

    Perhaps I should spell it out more clearly to you.

    You get the flu shot, you get a very bad dose of flu.

    You don't get the flu shot, you don't get any dose.

    Hence my statement that people who get the flu shot get sick.

    No need for the smug replies either, if you want to engage in debate with conpiracy theorists on the conspiracy theories forum, then it would seem correct to use some manners, no?

    According to this article frpm a Patricia A. Doyle DVM, PhD Bus Admin, Tropical Agricultural Economics Univ of West Indies, Taking the Swine Flu Vaccine is not such a good idea.

    http://rense.com/general85/vacc.htm

    Yes, a vet with a PhD in Business really knows what she's talking about....

    I think I'll choose not to believe her though.

    The flu-vaccine is safe and you are endangering yourself and others if, when the time comes that there is a pandemic, you do not get immunised.

    There is no vaccine for the current H1N1 swine flu though. But hey, buy the vaccines if they make you feel safer. ;)

    In fairness what Flamed Driving said is true. The reply didn't seem smug to me and was factually correct. Unlike what you said which isn't.

    I just really hope that people reading these threads wouldn't stop getting their children vaccinated because that would be very dangerous indeed.

    Nope they give you a light dose of the virus so that your immune system can tackle it from then on. It can mean you get some symptoms of the virus but they should be very minor.

    It's an inert or weakened version of the virus, to stimulate the produce of antibodies that can fight the virus.

    In certain cases yes, but in some cases, such as the Mumps vaccine, a live attenuated (non-disease causing) virus is used. Still, all types used have gone through rigorous clinical trials.

    H1N1 vaccines have been made before (late 1980's)...it's just a question of whether they can manufacture this particular one fast enough in the case of an pandemic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 J_Kerr


    Ok, I remeber hearing people talk about it as if you get some full blown virus.

    So the vaccine actually does exist? Does it work against this flu?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,778 ✭✭✭tallaght01


    There's no live virus in the flu vaccine. I do a clinic twice a week where we offer flu vaccine to kids. Stacks of them get it, and there's not many side effects aside from red arms etc. Some people get a bit of a high temperature as their body starts the immunity process. But generally it's a very well tolerated vaccine.

    No, there's some pretty frantic work going on around the world right now, though, to try and make a vaccine.

    If you read through my posts you'll see that I never actually said not to take vaccines. I'm simply saying that not everything you're told by experts is true (especially those financed by big pharma and those working for government agencies) and you can't always believe your government (in fact as time goes on it seems to be an economy of diminishing returns on both of those).

    The Precautionary Principle seems to be good enough for governments when it suits them but when their citizens question certain issues we're suddenly tin foil hat wearers and conspiracy theorists.

    Ah okay so are we saying the vast majority of vaccines are okay but there are some small issues? That's what it sounds like now.

    Does the fact that it's a mutated version of a common virus make it easier to make a vaccine? I hope they get it soon otherwise there will be threads about the elite withholding the vaccine.

    LOL it's true. I have 3 vials under my pillow, but we're not giving it to the plebs until the population reduction plan has been put in place :P

    But, yes, the fact that this is a strain of flu makes it a bit easier to make a vaccine. But there will also be other technical factors at play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,764 ✭✭✭DeadParrot


    This is hard to comprehend.
    Derry, have you any explanation why this flu is being deployed as a weapon?


    With a long incubation period and its general close proximity to the US, it seems a bad idea for a bio weapon from the big bad NWO

    Reports on the wires say that the incubation period is actually closer to 24-48hrs and not one week as previously stated.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭Volvagia


    As someone mentioned earlier:

    IF this is a militarised virus that was created in US labs, as the OP has stated why would they start the outbreak so close to home.

    There is still the problem of illegal immigration into the US from Mexico, would the US military not be shooting themselves in the foot by starting the pandemic just over the border?

    Well, unlike AIDS, there's little evidence to suggest that this is a bio weapon, but playing devil's advocate here, as I often do, then if the NWO agenda of population reduction to less than 1 billion is to be believed, it matters little where the pandemic starts. Merely that it sweeps the globe and does it's job. Indeed going a step further you could even say that starting an outbreak near the US could even alleviate suspicions.

    I always thought Asia would be the place targeted, however, particularly when you look at the population density and the writings/musings of Brzezinski and Kissinger with regard to Asia being in competition with the west, and the view of historians like Niall Ferguson that Asia is the most likely region to grow in power and wealth - which is played out by Chinese supremacy nowadays.

    Yes I understand what a vaccine is, however the goal is not to make you sick. The goal is to administer a low enough doseage or a harmless strain in order to provoke an immune response to prevent the body being susceptible to a full dose. Does that answer your point?

    You get the flu shot, you get a very bad dose of flu.

    These seem incompatible, unless you mean the theoretical goal and the actual implementation are different things?

    New World Order and the Newer World Order (splitters).

    No meglome, I said that "I always thought Asia would be the place targeted", not that it would be the place. What I think from analysis and what happens are often (but not exclusively) different things.

    I love the title: Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America

    SPP_logo.png
    "What differentiates the SPP from other security and trade agreements is that it is not subject to Congressional oversight or approval. The SPP establishes a corporate/government bureaucracy for implementation that excludes civil society participation. ... Facing a worrisome pact pushed forward in secrecy, it is time for Congress to halt this undemocratic approach and establish a process based on openness, accountability, and the participation of civil society."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_and_Prosperity_Partnership_of_North_America

    I love the way they talk about a "a novel strain of infuenza" and that whatever the size and seriousness of a pandemic there should be "minimal economic disruption". Never mind that people might be dying in their scores or even hundreds (or more) - business as usual.
    Maintaining critical infrastructure and services will be essential during a pandemic. While influenza cannot physically damage critical infrastructure, a pandemic could weaken it by diverting essential resources or removing essential personnel from the workplace. This Plan, therefore, extends beyond the health sector to include a coordinated approach to critical infrastructure protection, including the importance of business continuity planning and recognition of interdependencies among sectors.

    You seem to miss the bigger picture. What good is saving every american life if the entire country is destroyed in the process. There are departments that deal with saving lives. Should everyone else sit around scratching their arses? Or should they perhaps try and keep their country going and try and stop the collapse of civilisation?

    I can see the point Kernel is making, to be fair, he's just saying he thought that if the NWO were to release a a virus, he'd have imagined it would be in Asia. The belief that it's NWO is based on other factors as well.

    So he used his research knowledge of the NWO to surmise a virus would be released in Asia, which it wasn't. If the US are very much behind the NWO why would they release a virus in their own back yard? A large number of people travel from Mexico to the US on a daily basis so you would be spreading it all over the US as well.

    The point I'm making is if you are planning for population reduction you would start in a highly populated Asian country where life is much cheaper. That way a lot more people would die before a vaccine is found. So what is the point in giving detailed reasons for why the NWO would release this virus and then still believe it was them when the real world situation is quite different? If your information of the NWO involvement doesn't match up why isn't it just another naturally occurring event?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Well to be fair, and I think it was said before, that if the pandemic starts in the US or it's close neighbours, it would shift the blame. Anybody who would say that the US was to blame, would be dismissed as a looney. So the NWO would have free reign to dump people into Fema camps, cull the rest and set up their 1984 styled regime with a lower population of people who have been screened to make sure theyy won't cause a fuss.

    All the while, various other outbreaks would occur around the world and made look like the virus has been spread from the original source. Those who created the virus will already have been vacinated and so largely will be safe. Other nations will undoubtably create their own vaccines, but it will be too late for the majority of their populations. They'll be weakened as a result and be ripe for the picking.

    That's all bollox of course, but if I were a comic book villain, that's how I'd do it.

    I agree that in the comic book villain way this makes perfect sense.

    Of course I can't wait for the CT'ers to come back in and admit they were wrong (again) about this virus outbreak. Although I suppose law of averages they will be right eventually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Of course there's another possibility, in that it's part of an attack on the US that maybe has gone a little wrong. For Spring break, many US college students head to Mexico. Infect them (should be easily to get a drunken student to do anything!), and they go home, feeling a little sick a day or two later. They'll come into contact with loads of other people and the virus spreads.

    The only downside of this plan is that you don't really have control on who has the virus or what it mutates into, so you have to make damn sure that you're not going to be somwhere where you can get infected yourself, for example, a cave in Afghanistan... ;);)
