CAUTION.COM is providing two viewpoints regarding H1N1 Swine Flu. The CDC information will follow with a rebuttal from Aajonus author of the book "We Want to Live".
CDC: Centers Situation Update - May 7, 2010.
Flu Activity: Flu activity is low nationwide with only a small number of 2009 H1N1 viruses being reported. According to the April 25-May 1 FluView, flu activity in the United States declined again from last week and continues to fall across all key flu indicators. Flu is unpredictable, but sporadic cases of flu, caused by either 2009 H1N1 or seasonal flu viruses, will likely continue to occur throughout the spring and summer in the United States. Internationally, 2009 H1N1 viruses are still circulating, including in the Southern Hemisphere, which is entering its flu season.

What
is Swine Influenza?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused
by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza
in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death
rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout
the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months
similar to outbreaks in humans. The classical swine flu virus (an influenza
type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930.
How many swine flu viruses are there?
Like all influenza viruses, swine flu viruses change constantly. Pigs
can be infected by avian influenza and human influenza viruses as well
as swine influenza viruses. When influenza viruses from different species
infect pigs, the viruses can reassort (i.e. swap genes) and new viruses
that are a mix of swine, human and/or avian influenza viruses can emerge.
Over the years, different variations of swine flu viruses have emerged.
At this time, there are four main influenza type A virus subtypes that
have been isolated in pigs: H1N1, H1N2, H3N2, and H3N1. However, most
of the recently isolated influenza viruses from pigs have been H1N1
viruses.
Swine Flu in Humans
Can humans catch swine flu?
Swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans. However, sporadic human
infections with swine flu have occurred. Most commonly, these cases
occur in persons with direct exposure to pigs (e.g. children near pigs
at a fair or workers in the swine industry). In addition, there have
been documented cases of one person spreading swine flu to others. For
example, an outbreak of apparent swine flu infection in pigs in Wisconsin
in 1988 resulted in multiple human infections, and, although no community
outbreak resulted, there was antibody evidence of virus transmission
from the patient to health care workers who had close contact with the
patient.
How common is swine flu infection in humans?
In the past, CDC received reports of approximately one human swine influenza
virus infection every one to two years in the U.S., but from December
2005 through February 2009, 12 cases of human infection with swine influenza
have been reported.
What are the symptoms of swine flu in humans?
The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the
symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy,
lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have
reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?
No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not
get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly
handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an
internal temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other
bacteria and viruses.
How does swine flu spread?
Influenza viruses can be directly transmitted from pigs to people and
from people to pigs. Human infection with flu viruses from pigs are
most likely to occur when people are in close proximity to infected
pigs, such as in pig barns and livestock exhibits housing pigs at fairs.
Human-to-human transmission of swine flu can also occur. This is thought
to occur in the same way as seasonal flu occurs in people, which is
mainly person-to-person transmission through coughing or sneezing of
people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected
by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their
mouth or nose.
What do we know about human-to-human spread of
swine flu?
In September 1988, a previously healthy 32-year-old pregnant woman was
hospitalized for pneumonia and died 8 days later. A swine H1N1 flu virus
was detected. Four days before getting sick, the patient visited a county
fair swine exhibition where there was widespread influenza-like illness
among the swine.
In follow-up studies, 76% of swine exhibitors tested had antibody evidence of swine flu infection but no serious illnesses were detected among this group. Additional studies suggest that one to three health care personnel who had contact with the patient developed mild influenza-like illnesses with antibody evidence of swine flu infection.
How can human infections with swine influenza
be diagnosed?
To diagnose swine influenza A infection, a respiratory specimen would
generally need to be collected within the first 4 to 5 days of illness
(when an infected person is most likely to be shedding virus). However,
some persons, especially children, may shed virus for 10 days or longer.
Identification as a swine flu influenza A virus requires sending the
specimen to CDC for laboratory testing.
What medications are available to treat swine flu infections in humans?
There are four different antiviral drugs that are licensed for use in
the US for the treatment of influenza: amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir
and zanamivir. While most swine influenza viruses have been susceptible
to all four drugs, the most recent swine influenza viruses isolated
from humans are resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. At this time,
CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir or zanamivir for the treatment
and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses.
What other examples of swine flu outbreaks are
there?
Probably the most well known is an outbreak of swine flu among soldiers
in Fort Dix, New Jersey in 1976. The virus caused disease with x-ray
evidence of pneumonia in at least 4 soldiers and 1 death; all of these
patients had previously been healthy. The virus was transmitted to close
contacts in a basic training environment, with limited transmission
outside the basic training group. The virus is thought to have circulated
for a month and disappeared. The source of the virus, the exact time
of its introduction into Fort Dix, and factors limiting its spread and
duration are unknown. The Fort Dix outbreak may have been caused by
introduction of an animal virus into a stressed human population in
close contact in crowded facilities during the winter. The swine influenza
A virus collected from a Fort Dix soldier was named A/New Jersey/76
(Hsw1N1).
Is the H1N1 swine flu virus the same as human
H1N1 viruses?
No. The H1N1 swine flu viruses are antigenically very different from
human H1N1 viruses and, therefore, vaccines for human seasonal flu would
not provide protection from H1N1 swine flu viruses.
Swine Flu in Pigs
How does swine flu spread among pigs?
Swine flu viruses are thought to be spread mostly through close contact
among pigs and possibly from contaminated objects moving between infected
and uninfected pigs. Herds with continuous swine flu infections and
herds that are vaccinated against swine flu may have sporadic disease,
or may show only mild or no symptoms of infection.
What are signs of swine flu in pigs?
Signs of swine flu in pigs can include sudden onset of fever, depression,
coughing (barking), discharge from the nose or eyes, sneezing, breathing
difficulties, eye redness or inflammation, and going off feed.
How common is swine flu among pigs?
H1N1 and H3N2 swine flu viruses are endemic among pig populations in
the United States and something that the industry deals with routinely.
Outbreaks among pigs normally occur in colder weather months (late fall
and winter) and sometimes with the introduction of new pigs into susceptible
herds. Studies have shown that the swine flu H1N1 is common throughout
pig populations worldwide, with 25 percent of animals showing antibody
evidence of infection. In the U.S. studies have shown that 30 percent
of the pig population has antibody evidence of having had H1N1 infection.
More specifically, 51 percent of pigs in the north-central U.S. have
been shown to have antibody evidence of infection with swine H1N1. Human
infections with swine flu H1N1 viruses are rare. There is currently
no way to differentiate antibody produced in response to flu vaccination
in pigs from antibody made in response to pig infections with swine
H1N1 influenza.
While H1N1 swine viruses have been known to circulate among pig populations since at least 1930, H3N2 influenza viruses did not begin circulating among US pigs until 1998. The H3N2 viruses initially were introduced into the pig population from humans. The current swine flu H3N2 viruses are closely related to human H3N2 viruses.
Is there a vaccine for swine flu?
Vaccines are available to be given to pigs to prevent swine influenza.
There is no vaccine to protect humans from swine flu. The seasonal influenza
vaccine will likely help provide partial protection against swine H3N2,
but not swine H1N1 viruses.
A Personl Message From Aajonus Regarding Fear of SWINE FLU
http://www.wewant2live.com/site/811618/page/2874237
Hi all,
The
story goes deeper into crime. Remember in 1976, the swine flu vaccine
killed 2,300 people in 2 weeks after the government paid billions for
the "free"-to-public vaccine? The vaccine was pulled and is
still in the vaults.
Virus are not alive; they have no nucleus, respiratory or digestive systems. Virus are protein wastes in solvent solutions. They are as contagious as Tide soap. It is impossible for one animal tissue in solvent solution to appear in another animal because those tissue are not part of another animals cellular structures.
Have they been distributing the old swine flu vaccine as other medication in pockets in Mexico because they know it causes swine flu residues in people. The stories about it appearing in other countries are fictitious stories because I have not been able to get any laboratory confirmation. Were those stories planted by US government and the pharmaceutical house that vaults the vaccine? Do the laboratory and government want to resell the vaccine and get rid of it for profit. The government is still paying for it to be vaulted and that is very expensive. Why didn't they dump it?
For the same reason they did not dump AZT when it was
discovered by independent observers in 1969 that AZT was too toxic for
chemotherapy? But when the government created the AIDS epidemic by contaminating
Hepatitis B Vaccines and, in Africa the Smallpox Vaccines, they brought
AZT out of the vaults and claimed it was good to treat AIDS. They treated
AIDS patients with it and it killed most of them and they made a big
profit as well as taking over 27 African countries resources.
Research the work of Dr. Leonard Horowitz and read the book Bio-Attack
Alert.
With the swine flu, they are creating an imaginary "pandemic" and viola, people will flock to take the swine flu vaccine. With the Geneva Convention articles, they cannot force vaccine on anyone but they may be able to quarantine people for a few days.
Remember that no vaccine has proved to be effective, including polio. Many such diseases have cycles and polio was down to less than 1% the year before the polio vaccine was issued in 1958. All vaccines are issue after the diseases have diminished and big pharma takes credit for riding the planet of the diseases. If polio were a problem, why isn't it an epidemic amongst third world people who cannot afford and do not take polio vaccines? Why is polio non-existent in Amish and Mennonite communities where they don't take vaccines?
Healthfully,
Aajonus
