Here is what you really need to know about the current swine flu.

Influenza routinely kills 36,000 Americans every year and hospitalizes 200,000. Only a tiny fraction of that has been caused by the swine flu this year.

The only thing significant about the swine flu vaccine is that if every American is forced to take it, the drug companies will make billions of dollars. This will allow them to make even more TV commercials for drugs.

In general, vaccines do not prevent anyone from getting the disease they are intended to stop. For example, the British started forced vaccinations for smallpox in 1854. Deaths from smallpox immediately jumped from 1,000 per year to 10,000 per year and peaked in 1871 to over 40,000 per year and only started to go down from that point because honest doctors stopped giving the vaccine to their patients.

Great Britain stopped forced smallpox vaccinations in 1907 and by 1919 only had 29 deaths from smallpox.

Compare this to the Philippine Islands. In 1919, the entire population of 10 million had been triply vaccinated courtesy of the U.S. government with the smallpox vaccine. With only one-fourth the population of England, they registered 47,368 deaths compared to 29.

In 1977, Dr. Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine, testified that mass vaccinations were the cause of most polio cases since the early 1960s. Only time will tell how much death and suffering this new swine flu vaccine will cause.
