H5N1 And H1N1 In The Same Family In Vietnam?

H5N1 bird flu plus H1N1 swine flu in Vietnam There is a disturbing new report out of Vietnam that appears to indicate that one family there has tested positive for both the H5N1 bird flu and the H1N1 swine flu. According to the report, poultry belonging to the family has also tested positive for the H5N1 bird flu. H5N1 has been circulating in Vietnam for several years, and now H1N1 has gotten a strong foothold there. Some infectious disease experts are now concerned that Vietnam could become the type of "fertile breeding ground" where we could actually see a reassortment or recombination where the H5N1 bird flu virus and the H1N1 swine flu virus combine to form a completely new strain. In fact, one of the top virologists in the world said that if such a reassortment happens, he will "retire immediately and lock myself in the P3 lab." Why would he be so concerned? It is because such a recombination could potentially create a "super strain" of the flu that would be as fatal as H5N1 but as easily transmissible as H1N1. If such a strain developed we could really be looking at a doomsday scenario. (Read More).....

NIH Report Notes Similarity Of New York City H1N1 Swine Flu Deaths With 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic

A shocking new report from the National Institutes For Health has noted the similarity between H1N1 swine flu deaths in New York City and deaths caused by the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. The scientists involved in this research examined autopsy reports, hospital records and other clinical data from 34 patients who died from the H1N1 swine flu between May 15th and July 9th, 2009. All but two of the H1N1 deaths discussed in the report occurred within New York City. What the report found was that the H1N1 swine flu virus had attacked the protective cells that lined the respiratory system of these patients. That caused these patients to be much more susceptible to bacterial infections. According to the report, this is consistent with what happened to victims of the flu during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. This new research is all the more disturbing considering the fact that many reports of similar H1N1 swine flu symptoms are now pouring in from all over the globe. (Read More).....

30 Dead As Mystery Flu Plague Ravages Saratov, Russia

Der Spiegel is reporting that 30 deaths being blamed on the H1N1 swine flu have created panic among the citizens of Saratov, Russia. According to the report, many believe that the symptoms that victims are experiencing in Saratov are similar to what H1N1 flu victims in Ukraine have been experiencing for weeks. However, it is important to note that additional confirmation will be needed before any conclusions can be reached about what is happening in Saratov. But the fact that Der Spiegel is openly reporting on the situation in Saratov is an indication that this is about to break into the international media. There are clues in the Der Spiegel article that this outbreak in Russia is causing the same kind of respiratory problems that we have seen in Ukraine. That is consistent with the conclusions that we reached about this new H1N1 mutation in our last article - "Research Reveals Most Victims Of 1918 Spanish Flu Died From Bacterial Pneumonia – Just Like Victims Dying From The New H1N1 Swine Flu Mutation In Ukraine". You see, apparently what this new H1N1 mutation does is that it destroys the protective cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs, thus allowing the bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat to invade the lungs. That is why so many are confusing this new H1N1 mutation with the pneumonic plague. (Read More).....

Research Reveals Most Victims Of 1918 Spanish Flu Died From Bacterial Pneumonia – Just Like Victims Dying From The New H1N1 Swine Flu Mutation In Ukraine

A common misperception is that most people who died during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic actually died from the flu itself. But according to high level scientific research done over the past few years, most of the people who died from the 1918 Spanish flu actually died from bacterial pneumonia that was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the 1918 Spanish flu virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs. This explains what is going on in Ukraine. Over the past several weeks, there have been rumors that the pneumonic plague was on the loose in Ukraine. But that is not the case. What apparently is happening is that the H1N1 swine flu has mutated and is acting more like the 1918 Spanish flu (which was also an H1N1 flu). This new H1N1 mutation is directly attacking the respiratory system of its victims. This attack on the respiratory system is destroying the protective cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs, thus allowing the bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat to invade the lungs. As victims near death, temperatures inside the lungs have gotten as high as 135 degrees Fahrenheit, and doctors on the ground in Ukraine have said that the lungs of these victims become "as black as charcoal".

Tests Confirm The Swine Flu Vaccine Will Probably Not Work Against The Dangerous New H1N1 Mutation Spreading In Ukraine, Norway, Brazil, China And France

Will the H1N1 swine flu vaccine be effective against the dangerous new H1N1 mutation that has been confirmed in Ukraine, Norway, Brazil, China and France? According to the New York Times, Britain’s national medical laboratory reported on Friday that it has been determined that one H1N1 sample from Ukraine with the new H1N1 mutation had changed so much that the H1N1 swine flu vaccine "probably would not protect against it well". This means that it is likely that tens of millions of people around the world are being shot up with a vaccine that will simply offer them no protection against this virulent new strain of H1N1. If the vaccine will not do any good, then what is going to stop the spread of this potentially very dangerous new strain which is rapidly drawing comparisons to the 1918 Spanish flu? (Read More).....
