Some experts have questioned the wisdom of depleting stocks of anti-viral drugs to battle H1N1, which outside Mexico has caused largely mild symptoms.
Masato Tashiro, head of the influenza virus research centre at Japan's National Institute of Infectious Disease and a member of the WHO emergency committee, said: "The virus is relatively weak and about the same as regular influenza viruses passed on via human-to-human contact. I don't believe it will become virulent. "The threat to health from the avian influenza and its fatality rate is much greater than the new flu.
"I am very worried that we will use up the stockpile of anti-flu medicine and be unarmed before we need to fight against the avian influenza. The greatest threat to mankind remains the H5N1 avian influenza."

I have been reading the post/threads on here from some very stupid people, the same people who think the world is about to end every other month, and the thought of such an event makes them wet around the mouth.
"The World Health Organisation has warned the first flu pandemic in 40 years is imminent" Right okay, this might happen, but don't get carried away, a pandemic does not mean that there will be millions of deaths, and the flu normally kills 1000's in each country EVERY YEAR!
But this is something you sould be worried about:

So as we all run around with the thought of dying from H1N1 in our minds, being fed misinformation by plenty of people who star and flag threads like This One. Please remember one thing, look at the facts, this virus is not killing outside the host country in them numbers. Them two people in Scotland are now fine, out of hospital and sitting at home with cups of tea.
Don't go into over drive, being pushed on by a bunch of people who dream about the world coming to an end, or nukes flying about like balloons in a summer park. Because we might all need our stocks for the real deal someday soon.

I have proven PUBLICLY on this forum that that is just not a reality, and is NOT going to be accomplished. To be caught in a false hope where you feel like you need to be apart stopping something so massive is one the most defeatist mindset one can harbor. Since the fight is one that can't be won by you, no matter how noble or truth seeking you feel you are.
How did I prove that we are simply not able to stop this Juggernaut?
First, by telling everyone why we are continually stomped on, and how we fall into the trap EVERYTIME. The fact is, that it ALL comes back to the media, every single time. People are protected, rather than prosecuted, facts are skewed, rather than stated, companies fascistly manipulate your perception of reality, and if that's not defeatist I don't know what is.
I went into absolutely everything, layed it out for everyone to see in a thread I wrote Mainstream Media - How we are all being bent over and begging for more
No one on this forum seems willing to out the mainstream media, and without doing that every single movement that gains momentum will be systematically ridiculed and discredited. People claim to want to do something about actually making a difference, but no one is willing to turn off MSM and quit letting their lies infiltrate every facet of their life.
Now, the perfect example rears it head as I have said many times in this thread, SWINE FLU, this forum has absolutely DEVOURED the topic. And it's 100% MSM fear mongering.
Thousands of hours have been squandered arguing over just that one topic, but it's just yet another example of how this community operates. And this thread is another perfect example of the pessimistic, defensive, attacks that this forum is famous for. Turn off the news and read. I am done in this thread. Peace to those who got something they liked out of it.
So as we all run around with the thought of dying from H1N1 in our minds, being fed misinformation by plenty of people who star and flag threads like:
- TAMIFLY MANUFACTURER EXPECTED 531% INCREASE IN SALES
- SWINEFLU NEWS AND UPDATE THREAD
- Is Swine flu man made?RT News report video.
- Mysterious U.S. Swine Flu Probe Widens as Mexico Finds Swine Flu *updated*
- WHO to stop using term 'swine flu' to protect pigs

ON AND ON AND ON.
