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

With encouragement from the reputable Journal of the American Medical Association, people took 1000-milligrams doses of the aspirin drug every three hours, which today is the equivalent of taking 25 standard 325 milligram tablets in a one day period.

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

There is a report from one pathologist at the time that the levels of bloody, watery fluid he came across in the lungs during autopsies was too much for it to be brought on by viral pneumonia (a complication of the flu). Instead he believed the watery liquid must have been caused by something else, -- aspirin drug overdose.

The Year 2009.

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

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

According to the World Health Organisation on June 11, 2009. In the USA there were 13217 cases of swine flu 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 one hundred and forty four deaths.

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

Over half a million people dying from seasonal flu every year is not enough 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 enough for the World Health Organisation to proclaim a pandemic alert of level 6. This is odd.

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

With a death rate of zero, on June 11, the United Kingdom Government has bought 120 million doses of the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine. Enough vaccine for every person in the United Kingdom to have two vaccines. This is illogical.

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

The US Government has bought 250 million doses of the swine influenza vaccine at a cost of two billion dollars and has pledged to purchase enough 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 United States Government spends two billion dollars on a vaccine. Why.

Something strange is going on.
