Pupil dies of swine flu in Northern Ireland

I hope this is not returning harder and more virulent. As a parent my heart goes out to the family concerned.

A child diagnosed with swine flu in Northern Ireland just over a week ago has died, the Public Health Agency confirmed today. The pupil went to Ceara School in Lurgan, a school for children with severe learning disabilities.

Twenty people from Northern Ireland died in last year's swine flu outbreak, including a number of children with severe learning difficulties. An agency spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a child with confirmed flu infection ... has sadly passed away. The PHA would like to extend its deepest sympathy to the family of this child." "This death is a reminder that flu infection can cause serious complications, and indeed death, in those with certain underlying medical conditions."

New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) The number of swine flu cases in the country dipped marginally last week but the number saw a little rise in those states which were so far less affected by the H1N1 virus, officials said.

'More cases are now coming from states like Rajasthan which did not have much H1N1 infections earlier. The situation is better now in the worst affected states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala,' a health ministry official said.

A total of 68 cases were reported from across the country between Oct 25 and Oct 31 compared to 46 the week before. Nine people died of the disease last week.

Further news on the tragic death of girl who had swine flu. www.bbc.co.uk...

An eight-year-old girl with swine flu who died was a "bright light" who will be missed by pupils and teachers, her school principal has said.

The girl was a pupil at Ceara School in Lurgan, County Armagh; a special school for children with severe learning disabilities.

School principal Dr Peter Cunningham said: "She had a smile that would light up a room, and she was just a delight to have at our school."

He said parents should be vigilant.

"In so far as my knowledge of the vaccine exists, I would urge people to take up the offer, although that depends on individual circumstances," he said.

While the child's family is not originally from Northern Ireland, and English is not their first language, Dr Cunningham said the family would have been made aware of the H1N1 virus and offered the vaccine.

[Puts on tin foil hat]

Does make me wonder if this virus has been altered to more dangerous to people with certain conditions or issues.

Almost like a "cleaning" method used against those who are a drain on the society.

I know there are numerous health conditions that this makes worse, like Congestive heart failure, COPD, Asthma etc.

But just seems odd this is taking our "Develop-mentally disabled" kids.

perhaps I'm off my rocker and should go to bed, as I am up way past my bedtime..

Condolences to the families of the lil ones. always tough, always horrible. Little ones shouldn't have to suffer.

If it returns harder and more virulent does this mean the virus has mutated?
Will the H1N1 vaccine no longer be effective? Was it ever effective?
They are now including the vaccine in regular flu shots here in the UK.
I often wonder where the seasonal deaths due to regular flu have gone.
They seem to have disappeared with the emergence of swine flu.
It is always sad when someone dies, especially a child.
However these things happen and I’m sure we will all be encouraged to have the vaccine.
Let me ask you. If you had a child that is mildly asthmatic, would you vaccinate them?
It’s a terrible choice for a parent, dammed if you do, yet if something happened, dammed if you don’t.

From much research it is clear that the Swine Flu vaccinations are in fact for sterilization. In particularly they damage devoloping ovaries. Notice that the conclusion from what has happened in Northern Ireland is to focus on vaccinating/sterilizing the Special Schools.

If you examine any Swine Flu vaccine box you will see the warning, along the lines of "Affect on Fertility Unknown", which clearly means that if they did test it on fertility, which they have, it would prove it reduces fertility rates.

Look I know It sounds harsh - but seriously we have shows here with " women" having 5 children with severe problems - one after another, knowing the child will live In hell - but who cares not mummy moomie - she just wants to sit home and control some stupid man.

Not right - but end of day trash like above will end up pushing the world to need to take action or the whole world will be lost.

I doubt Its already happening - but it will need to in time.

Thank that mumma moomie u think is so sweet as she sits dribbling pulling more accidenty control pregnancies!

Just another nut trying to take away human rights and the dignity of the human animal. Maybe in your self-centred egotistical world...you do realise that the Nazi's had a similar idea? Good luck Adolf
Just another nut looking to take away basic human rights and the freedom to be human, join the queue!!. Maybe in your world this is

Can I ask that we do not start all this swine flu hysteria again.
It was obvious from the hysteria at the beginning of the "epidemic" that it was less virulent than regular flu. Why not post an article hyping up the thousands of deaths annualy from regular flu? Because that's not newsworthy and people aren't going to run around like headless chickens over good old regular flu.
Thank you.
