RE: It's 'Flu Fear Season!

in #health7 years ago

We're not in flu season yet and anyway here authorities and the media only start the scare-mongering campaign in mid-winter when they realize once again people aren't coming in to get vaccinated. Not that it matters much, because the flu vaccines are already bought and paid for by the government, as children and old people get the flu shots free!
At the same time, the MSM are still busy with the 'measles' epidemic. On average, every week one more death from measles is announced. Not many details are given, obviously, but in some of the cases that made it to the press it was clear that the dead children had other terrible underlying conditions. In one particular case, the measles diagnostic was made only the child had been dead for a few days. Who's gonna know anyway, especially when we're talking about poor families from rural communities? They won't fight to have the truth established and that family's tragedy can be used to scare the rest of the population.

Sort:  

Yes measles 'epidemics' are popular here too & I notice exactly the same thing, they'll say '1 girl died from measles...it's very dangerous'...but a little investigation will show that she was very ill with a compromised immune system or something like that. The other side of the coin is gov. vaccinating people in developing countries with no access to clean water, kids playing in open sewers etc & expecting that they'll be healthy!
