| threat of H1N1 exaggerated, WHO in cahoots with big pharma
washingtonpost.com Quote: |
European criticism of the World Health Organization's handling of the H1N1 pandemic intensified Friday with the release of two reports that accused the agency of exaggerating the threat posed by the virus and failing to disclose possible influence by the pharmaceutical industry on its recommendations for how countries should respond.

| Well, I can attest that there was a significant infection rate and patient load last fall, and there are plenty of families who lost loved ones to the illness that would be sickened by that story. The sharp decline in cases and fatalities since then is a testament to the success of modern vaccines. | |

I know several of my co-workers who had it and they quarantined parts of the building because of the fear pushed out by our leaders and the media. The symptoms were no more severe than the regular flu.
Its just like any virus, it will effect people different ways.
