h1n1 was a hoax. more people got other flu strains AND died of them than those who got this h1n1 quackery. just another ratcheting up by the NWO of the fear mongering, getting ready for martial law.

I'm the only foreign teacher at this school. Last year for the English speaking contest, the administration asked me to suggest a topic for the competition. My suggestions were "Swine Flu: Epidemic or Hoax?" and "The Importance of English in the World Today". Guess which one they chose?*




*The second one; the first one would have ruined all the fun they were having restricting students and scaring the hell out of everybody.

The theory has been put forward, and I'm not necessarily saying that I agree with this, but the theory was put forward that the Mexican media started it to cover up all the drug-related fighting that was going on down there, and also to keep people from assembling as there was some civil unrest welling up.

But yeah, it had something like a .9% fatality rate instead of a .6% fatality rate for normal flu. Not exactly the catclysmic megavirus people were making it out to be.

I always thought it was to take people's minds of the lousy worldwide financial situation. Let 'em worry about dying, maybe they won't worry so much about money.
