RE: Kung Flu: Knowns and Unknowns
Good Article! @valued-customer, I am however, always concerned with the term "pandemic" when it relates to anything linked to the common cold. At the last outbreak of any "Flu" where the CDC sends out vaccines for it, there is only a 20% chance of the "Flu Shot" doing any good. (this is according to the CDC spokesman, 2 years ago) The CDC is the largest holder of Medicinal patents in the WORLD and they only make money, of course, when people are ILL. So, in short, I do not trust anything they say.
Just me being cynical, again,, Mitch
Coming from someone clearly as well informed as are you, such praise is flattering indeed.
I reckon that's pretty optimistic. I saw a stat recently that of the hundreds of thousands of samples taken from folks diagnosed with the flu and sent off to the CDC to be analyzed, only 16% turned out to be flu. On top of that, vaccines don't work perfectly, and even if they're pointed at the right target, also are likely to harm about 10% of folks that get them.
Being cynical is the smart course with these folks IMHO.
Thanks!
