Thats scary.
Swinflu was jumped on by the media, yet this is ignored.
Also, is there any chance swineflu could have come in contact with someone from Pripyat?

Dang! That's messed up! They only autopsied 2 people though, right? Since everything is being called "the flu" anymore and they're not even testing for it anymore are they sure that those 2 are pneumonic plague or are they just guessing?

It's a document fact that the media has been asked in the past to spike a story in the interest of national security.
Is that really happening here?

Someone I know said the same thing. You might be right. Who knows? For curious people such as ourselves, I think that's one of the hardest things to deal with. Not knowing what the truth is....
Based on autopsies, we have come to the conclusion: it’s not pneumonia, but cardiopulmonary insufficiency and cardiogenic shock … The virus enters directly into the lungs, there is bleeding … Antibiotics should not be used …
People with weak immune systems will succumb to the illness … Face Masks provide 30% extra protection. Wearing glasses gives an additional 10% protection, that is 40%, because the virus penetrates the mucose membranes.
When we perform an autopsy organs and tissues have histological studies (cell analysis) and we concluded that it was not pneumonia, and has no relation to pneumonia whatsoever.
During autopsies, what did the lungs look like? Were they really black, which gave rise to so much talk of pulmonary plague?
No, they are not black … This is not pneumonic plague. It’s all nonsense. Pneumonic plague has a very different morphology. We have, for example, 60 thousand people who became sick and 23 have died. With pulmonary plague, we would now have a mortality rate of 59 thousand …

There is a lot of it but, they have 24 news stations. They spent HOURS on the friggin' balloon boy. They jumped all over Mexico when the swine flu hit. This is 10x worse and you know people would be popping their corn and sitting their butts down in front of the tv to see what was going on. There's no way they want to miss out on this cash cow.
Which is what makes me worry.... why are they missing out on this cash cow?

You're guess is as good as mine. I have two theories depending on how trusting and jaded I feel at the moment:
1. the government is not quite as bad as you think - thus, it's in the interest of national security and they don't want a panic;
2. the government is a bunch of a-holes (at least those truly in charge) and want us unprepared so we die quicker. HA!!! that made me laugh. I love dark humor.
Have any other guesses/theories?
