swine flu Revised CDC swine flu figures to triple number of deathsSome 22 million Americans have been infected with the H1N1 virus, which has caused over 4,000 deaths since its spread began, according to revised figures by the Centers for Disease Control.

"The changes reflect new surveillance methods thought to be more accurate but also show that figuring out the death toll from influenza is not a precise science," ABC News noted.

The death toll noted by the CDC is triple that reported on Wednesday.

Officials urged that the numbers are not a sign of swine flu spreading further or becoming more lethal, but the government's methodology for estimating its spread becoming more accurate.

"I don't really think the public should be more worried, as the revised estimate does not reflect a change in the virulence of, or severity of, infection due to the virus," ABC News quoted Wake Forest University School of Medicine Dr. Christopher Ohl as saying.

The threat of swine flu has been largely overestimated in the media. H1N1 is not much more deadly than standard seasonal flu, which kills over 36,000 Americans every year.

    So now it's THREE TIMES the deaths that will occur. These evil bastards will do anything but put a gun to your head (and that's coming soon) to kill youa d your family with this "vaccine." Hell, the CDC cooked this one up with assistance from WHO and the maniacal, genocidal "doctors" at Ft. Detrick (and many others). http://dprogram.net/2009/04/26/h5n1-originates-....

    DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS "VACCINE." The application of deadly force in this case is permissible as they ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO KILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. It's self-defense, plain and simple. These fucking mutants have all but come out and told you so. Thus far, Nature has been throwing a monkey wrench into their attempts at genocide in America and the world, but there are obvious limits. One day they will get it right, if we allow them to.

    DEATH TO THE CDC.

    You are correct Robert S Finnegan,,

    I'm a Rothschild/CIA Mk Ultra Victim under Protective Custody and the above were discussing this Swine Flue genocide decades ago,,,late 70's early 80's...

    Currently I have the United States Pentagon aiming there weapons at me..
    They can do a full or partial tasor that makes your body or region hit go numb..
    After effects are aching,naseau,tiredness to extreme exhaustion,,dizzy,etc..

    What this means Robert S Finnegan is that the United States Military has declared war upon the citizens of the USA,,

    On a positive note,,I'm sensing a mass Mutiny in the US Military..
    The schmucks don't know what to do,,there's a greater number honoring the United State Constitution...

    This morning I wrote our DOJ Eric Holder of the situation,,it will reach his desk...
    He now has whats called a SITUATION...

    It's when they get in a full body shot that's hard,,One shot buckled my legs,,another made me so weak I could hardly stand or move( I had to sit down)...

    It appears the Rothschild family which is based out of Europe is behind every Atrocity,Illegal Activity in the USA...
    ALL WRONGS lead to this family...!

    I'm 56 years old and have cystic fibrosis. My doctor DEMANDED that I take the swine flu virus because, he said, people like me have a much higher risk of dying from this flu than "normal" human beings.

    There is NOTHING that will cause me to take this vaccine. Thanks for your post, Mr. Finnegan. I think you're right on the money!!!

    Your doctor probably doesn't even realize that people with impaired immune systems are so unlikely to develop significant antibodies to the vaccine that they can derive virtually no benefit from it. Yet, those are the people who are pressured the most to have it.
  • Independentgal
    I agree. He probably doesn't realize it. He really tries to do everything he can to help me, and I don't blame him for my distrust of the "system." In fact, he's the best physician I've ever had.
  • Kurt_O
    These people no longer have ANY credibility -- they've been shilling for WHO on H1N1 and everyone knows it.
  • jeffery1949
    nothing like a little satire to start my day. Now I know why doctors and nurses weak masks in the delivery room. They're not really doctors and nurses, they're CDC operatives that are injecting people with swine flu vaccine so they can kill everybody and take all their money and invest in the pharmaceutical industry. Why didn't I see this sooner?

    WHEN WILL THE CDC GIVE COMPARABLE FIGURES OF H1N1 vs. SEASONAL FLU?

    .
  • eyes wide open
    They never will. To do so would be to admit the H1N1 Flu is a pretext for the Big Pharma scam that is now in progress. The word is out....the vaccine will do nothing except permanently sedate the mind of the receiver with Thimerosal(MERCURY). The vaccine will set up the body for cancer by using Simian Virus. To take this vaccine is to place yourself in many more dangers than to actually become sick with H1N1. If you get sick you'll then have the antibodies for H1N1 and no neurotoxic substances or cancer causing agents destroying your body.

    Id like to know the average age of the victims of this virus. Every year, sick and elderly die of normal viral strains that their weakened immune systems cant repel.

    Maybe this is one of the plagues the Flying Spaghetti Monster will release onto the world in preparation for it's destruction in 2012?

    Those living with H1N1/Swine Flu and their loved ones remind you that H1N1 touches us all. All across the H1N1 spectrum patients and providers are working for a cure for a brighter tomorrow. On November 30 in Seattle there will be an H1N1 march and vigil, along with a concert and fundraiser featuring Melissa Etheridge and Bono. CBS Cares.
  • GaiaHealth
    The CDC's revision of numbers is a crock. It's based on estimates, not on facts.

    Here's a bit of satire on it: CDC Invents New Number System! Increases H1N1 Deaths! (http://gaia-health.com/articles101/000122-CDC-N...)

    Here are some actual facts - real counts of how many getting swine flu and how many dying: http://gaia-health.com/articles101/000112-Flu-S...

    Here's a look at some of the real stats and what's going on. CDC flat out lies.

    Bullshit.
  • abrahahambenjudea
    I saw it here yesterday... Ukraine H1n1 has mutaded into super flu... 189 biops show lungs full of black liquid. Get ready for round 2. This virus is like a painter it lays the code in layers so far it has two coats. With each coat or pass aound it becomes increasingly lethal.
  • Savantster
    Hmm.. wonder if the vaccine encourages mutation or if it is the only way to block against where it's headed...

    I could see the vaccine being a "test", saving those from a manufactured super bug that's on the way.. the vaccine is created in limited supply and given to "important people" and "sheeple who panic first".. that way, as masses of the population die out, the ones who caved early and easily to the "hype" become the slaves to the "important" people who stick around.. like the Goldman Sachs guys, etc.

    I wonder what happens to those of us that are defiant but still survive.

    Geez, people. Let's see...From the comments, CDC is incredibly sophisticated and has plans for culling the American (world wide?) population. Since federal employees don't profit from the culling of the population, I can't buy the "OH my GOD, they're trying to kill us" theory. Or, is it your thinking that after CDC kills off a 1/3d of the population, that federal employees are planning to swoop in and buy real estate cheap?

    I don't think there's enough aluminum on the planet to give you the tin foil you need.

    I guess you missed the part where Corporations are intermixed with Government? And the part where we don't have enough resources on the planet to support some people living like gods and still expect everyone else to be able to eat? Or the part about having power over money, the power to kill and destroy on a whim?

    I'm not saying I agree that the CDC is in cahoots with the WHO and New World Order.. but your conclusions and premises for those conclusions are incredibly illogical.

    If we want to sustain this unsustainable "economic model" where the few control all the resources and everyone else is a slave to them, then we need to shed about 3 billion people from the planet, and quick. Money is obsolete, the planet no longer has "free space" for people to roam off to and build a life.. if you are born today, you must slave away for those that came before if you want _anything_.. land for a home, food, clothes, anything... and there simply aren't enough jobs to go around.. and that problem is only going to get worse as technology replaces humans in virtually every job out there. ... think about it.. 6 billion out of 6.5 billion unemployed... How's that supposed to work?

    without completely changing the way we do things (like getting rid of money and private ownership of natural resources), we're on track for massive wars.. the rich don't want to risk that, they would rather kill a few billion than give up their golden toilets.
