CAUSES and HEALTHY & GREEN LIVING present the Care2 Swine Flu Project, a collaboration between Care2 Causes and Healthy & Green Living. Here you’ll find links to a wide variety of perspectives on the virus. We’ll be watching your comments and questions and will try to respond either with replies or entirely new posts as the conversation continues.

Hi daniella
Yes. Big fan of Dr. M.! have watched the Blaylock interview. A good example of pure Medical Science being dismissed(or tampered with) by it's creators when it suits. All his sources are from their records.
Any one in their right mind listening to him, would never entertain another vaccine.

Panic on Swine Flu is a fuss, if not a plot, created by the pharmaceutical industry for its own profit. Vaccines in earlier Swine Flu epidemics caused more death, from G.B. Syndrome, from the effects of the vaccination than the virus, while the pharmaceutical industry minted money and FDA had to withdraw the vaccine. Details can be obtained from various websites, including the one of Dr. Mercola.

that last comment got cut off even though it was within the character limit, so i'm amending that.

that last bit was referencing my neighbor and we were joking that in addition to her already wearing a great designer mask we should get one for her cute little black pom too! lol

i have acute controlled asthma and at times a compromised immune system due to a terrible illness i once had almost 30 years ago, and i do business with people who travel both domestically and internationally every day of the week, and i'm NOT getting the swine flu vaccine.

i only got A flu vaccine one time in my life about 20 years ago and after much research and realizing that there are so many new viral strains every year, it really was a crap shoot to take a flu vaccination.

i have yet to see any validity to the claims that the cases the media is citing are true "h1n1" related cases or something else. people are dying of many things other than the long list of flu strain varieties and in addition to flu strains other than this h1n1 that has been dominating the "news."

the best thing is arm yourself - eat more whole foods and healthier foods, boost your immune system (numerous ways out there to do this through various forms of supplementation) and wash your hands, face (including mouth) every day, and if you're really want, it's not so outrageous to wear a mask when out in public - i caught my neighbor leaving the other day with a really great looking one on (there are designer ones out there lol) and it wasn't due to the h1n1 scare but she was tired of her mother always coughing her own sickness all over the place that she said, i'm wearing this thing til she stops it! lol she's serious and still quite well but we had a good laugh over it, including masking her d

We had the swine flu. All 5 of us were pretty sick. Spiked temps, bad body aches, the respiratory inflammation went right to our chests. 4 out of 5 of us had secondary infections: 2 pneumonias, a double ear-infection, bronchitis, and a sinus infection (yup....one of us--me--had 2 secondary infections). I'll add that 1 of us has Crohn's, and 3 of us are asthmatics. I was not going to do the vaccines because I fear that the risk is greater being guinea pigs for under-tested vaccines for those of us who have serious chronic illnesses than is the flu itself, most of the time. I'm glad I didn't do the vaccine. We're all basically recovered now--I'm still coughing up nasty stuff, but feel fine--and we're now immune. Phew.

Please pardon my error. The Hitachi chips are capable of storing approximately 132 BITS of data, enough to encode about 36 to 38 characters.

I will not state an opinion, for or against vaccination. Instead, I would ask you to think about a few factors, all mentioned already, taken together. What age range is at greatest risk for contracting H1N1 and how would this affect the interactions of various cultures and countries? Hitachi already manufactures RFID microchips capable of storing approximately 132 characters and small enough to fit into the bore of a hypodermic needle (look it up.) Who stands to gain from these possibilities and how?
