		<description>I just received a report from Los Angeles County Central Men&#039;s  Jail that there had been an inmate die of the swine flu who was on the 8th floor.  

This information is known to the inmates but I can find nothing in the L A Times Online or on Google about it.

How can I verify this information, is there a clearing house on line?</description>

		<description>The CDC, and big media are saying that H1N1 vaccines are safe. Yet the vaccine manufacturers are definitely not making this claim themselves!  Smells like rotten eggs to me.  Proof of this omission comes from vaccine manufacturer&#039;s own product literature (see link below).  Why is nobody noting this undeniable yet glaring inconsistency?


H1N1 Vaccines and Our Children: The details are in the fine print! http://wp.me/pC1DX-34

WARNING: Safety and effectiveness of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have not been established in pregnant women or nursing mothers or children &lt;6 months of age.

		<description>That is shocking. I just read an article that spoke about how in New York swine flu vaccines may be made mandatory for hospital workers. Kind of a silly idea if this is true. It seems we are finding out more and more about this pandemic. Apparently it affects cells that are much deeper in the lung that the average seasonal flu making it much more dangerous. Read this. http://cbt20.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/biotechnology-news-special-h1n1-coverage/</description>

		<description>The very first documented case of 2009 Swine Flu is of a 5 year old boy in Mexico in early April. The boy lived in a small village of 3000 people in La Gloria in the state of Veracruz. Flu outbreak was reported in the village. Only the boy tested positive for swine flu. The village was next to a pig farm owned by the U.S. company Smithfield Foods. None of the pigs tested positive for swine flu or exhibited swine flu symptoms</description>

		<description>Hi Nia - 

Excellent post from your trusted flubie. He/she asks very good questions and poses a broad and thoughtful critique of the boilerplate reports we digest daily.

We can only hope that the second wave of this flu does not expose the world&#039;s dizzy lack of preparation. The piece is a prime wakeup call.

Thanks &amp; stay well,
Peter</description>
