The WHO are using the influenza 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 vaccinations and no anti-viral drugs. All the people had to combat the influenza was aspirin. According to Dr. Karen M. Starko, in an article in Clinical Infectious Diseases, there is a possibility that many of the people who died of influenza may instead of died due to aspirin overdose.

With encouragement from the reputable Journal of the American Medical Association, people took one gram doses of the drug every three hours, which these days is the equivalent of taking 25 standard 325 milligram tablets in a 24-hour period.

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

There is a report from one pathologist at the time that the levels of bloody, watery liquid he found in the lungs while doing autopsies was too much for it to be caused by viral pneumonia (a complication of the flu). Instead he considered the watery liquid must have been caused by something else, -- aspirin overdose.

The Year 2009.

Every year in the United States, on average, 36000 people die from getting the seasonal flu. In the UK, in a normal year, 12000 people will die from the seasonal influenza. World wide it has been estimated that almost a half-million people will die as a result of having the seasonal flu.

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

According to the World Health Organisation on June 11, 2009. In the USA there were 13217 cases of H1N1 swine flu and 27 deaths. In the UK there were 822 cases and zero deaths. World-wide there were 28744 affirmed cases of the swine flu and 144 deaths.

In a statement to the press on June 11, 2009 the Director-General of the World Health Organisation, Dr Margaret Chan, said that after conferring with leading influenza experts, virologists, and public health officials and an Emergency Committee established for this purpose. It was decided 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 sufficient dead people for the World Health Organisation to issue a pandemic alert of level 6. When 144 people die from the H1N1 swine flu virus this very small number of dead people IS sufficient for the World Health Organisation to proclaim a pandemic alert of level 6. This is strange.

With 12000 people every year dying from the seasonal flu the UK government usually purchases up to fifteen million doses of seasonal influenza vaccine. Three quarters of which go to the over sixty-fives.

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

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

The US Government has ordered 250 million doses of the swine flu vaccine at a cost of two billion dollars and has pledged to purchase sufficient to vaccinate every American if there is enough demand.

With 36000 people dying from seasonal flu every year the United States Government spends nothing. Yet when twenty-seven people die from the swine flue virus the US Government spends two billion dollars on a vaccine. Why.

Something strange is going on.
