The WHO are using the influenza pandemic of 1918 - 1919 as one of the reasons to justify declaring the current H1N1 swine flu as a pandemic. The circumstances now are very distinct from 1918-19. Back then there was no vaccinations and no anti-viral drugs. All the people had to defeat the flu was aspirin. According to Dr. Karen M. Starko, in an article in Clinical Infectious Diseases, there is a possibility that many of the people who died of influenza may instead of died due to aspirin overdose.

With backing from the established Journal of the American Medical Association, people took one gram doses of the aspirin drug every three hours, which today is the equivalent of taking 25 standard 325 milligram tablets in a 24-hour period.

This level of aspirin overdose is now recognised, in some people, to lead to toxicity and build-up of fluid in the lungs, it is this fluid in the lungs which may have contributed to the severity of symptoms, bacterial infections, and death.

There is a report from one pathologist at the time that the extent of bloody, watery liquid he observed in the lungs during autopsies was too much for it to be triggered by viral pneumonia (a complication of the flu). Instead he considered the watery liquid must have been caused by something else, -- aspirin overdose.

The Year 2009.

Every year in the United States, on average, 36000 people die from getting the seasonal influenza. In the UK, in a normal year, 12000 people will die from the seasonal influenza. World wide it has been predicted that something like a half-million people will die as a result of having the seasonal flu.

Does the World Health Organisation declare a world-wide influenza pandemic at level 6 every year for the seasonal flu. No. They do not.

According to the WHO on June 11, 2009. In the USA there were 13217 cases of swine flu virus and 27 deaths. In the United Kingdom there were 822 cases and zero deaths. World-wide there were 28744 confirmed cases of the swine flu and 144 deaths.

In a statement to the press on June 11, 2009 the Director-General of the World Health Organisation, Dr Margaret Chan, said that after conferring with leading influenza experts, virologists, and public health officials and an Emergency Committee established for this purpose. It was decided to raise the level of the swine flu pandemic alert from phase 5 to phase 6.

More than half a million people dying from seasonal flu every year is not sufficient dead people for the WHO to issue a pandemic alert of level 6. When 144 people die from the H1N1 swine flu this very low number of dead people IS more than enough for the World Health Organisation to proclaim a pandemic alert of level 6. This is unexpected.

With 12000 people every year dying from the seasonal flu the United Kingdom government usually purchases up to fifteen million doses of seasonal influenza vaccinations. Three quarters of which go to the over 65s.

With a death rate of zero, on June 11, the UK Government has purchased 120 million doses of the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine. Enough vaccine for every person in the UK to have two shots. This is irrational.

According to the vaccine manufacturers, during the 2008 influenza season in the United States, 143 million doses of seasonal influenza vaccine were made available for people to buy at no cost to the US Government.

The US Government has purchased 250 million doses of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine at a cost of two billion dollars and has promised to purchase an adequate amount to vaccinate every American if there is enough demand.

With 36000 people dying from seasonal influenza every year the US Government spends nothing. Yet when twenty-seven people die from the swine flue virus the US Government spends two billion dollars on a vaccine. Why.

Something strange is going on.
