“Marketing” Pig Flu
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Every Fall I observe the marketing of flu shots through the media, doctor’s offices, retail stores, etc. But this year with the H1N1 Pig Flu, they’ve outdone themselves. In a nutshell, the basic strategy is create panic. This always begins with a hyperinflation of the numbers of people killed in the 1918 flu epidemic. The fact is that 40 million did not die from the flu back then, but rather mostly from pneumonia which came as a secondary infection. Flu shots are of no help whatsoever for pneumonia, which is normally treated today with antibiotics (which conversely are of no value for the flu).
The next part of the propaganda strategy is to overestimate the number of pig flu cases. Every day the news is telling you of epidemic levels of H1N1 around the country, especially in schools. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has stated that most flu is the H1N1 pig flu so far this year. But CBS news, after a three month study, has concluded otherwise, stating:
If you’ve been diagnosed “probable” or “presumed” 2009 H1N1 or “swine flu” in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn’t have H1N1 flu. In fact, you probably didn’t have flu at all.
So, how can this be true? Would you believe that the CDC in late July 2009 told states to stop testing for H1N1 flu and stopped counting individual cases. Since they had already declared it an epidemic, why bother counting it anymore! Thus, everyone that visited a doctor with flu symptoms since late July was assumed to have pig flu. Can we all scream together, “The Emperor has no clothes!”
CBS further found that H1N1 tests were “overwhelmingly negative” for confirming pig flu. In Florida, out of 8,853 specimens tested 17% were positive for H1N1 and 83% were negative for other flu. In California, out of 13,704 specimens, only 2% were positive for H1N1, 12% were positive for other flu, and 86% were negative for other flu. So where’s the epidemic? So far, there is none. It is strictly a manufactured media event. Keep in mind that if you don’t have a fever, you don’t have the flu — you may have a cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, etc, but if there’s no fever, there’s no flu. You can read the complete article on the CBS story, by Dr. Joseph Mercola’s website by clicking here.
So what’s all the nonsense about? One thing: Selling flu vaccine. It takes weeks, or even months to produce this highly toxic junk, and the drug companies must sell it this season. How do you sell millions of doses of flu vaccine? Keep beating the drum in the media that there’s a widespread epidemic.
As stated in my Better Health Update “Flu Shots — Yes or No,” there are only two problems with flu shots: (1) They’re not safe and (2) They don’t work. To read this article, go to:

But what’s the alternative? Simply stated, the answer is to keep your immune system strong. That’s the only way you avoid flu, colds, or any other infection. For years I’ve recommended a flu prevention homeopathic, L-lysine supplements, Vitamin D, and Vitamin C. Pacific Health Center currently has a special on these products.
