What does the CDC say?

Every now and then I like to check out the CDC web page to see what is new in the world of the H1N1 Pandemic. Since President Obama declared a State of National Emergency last Friday night after all the news media went home for the weekend, I thought I would check again to see how bad things really are.

As you might know, from the beginning I have had serious doubts about this being as bad as the media has made it our to be. And I have wondered where all these huge numbers of sick and dying were coming from, since they stopped actually testing for the H1N1 virus months ago. And the CDC page has the answers.

The CDC has changed the way influenza is being reported, just for the swine flu.

These will be reports of all influenza and pneumonia-related hospitalizations and deaths, not just those due to 2009 H1N1.

Yes, you read that correctly, all influenza and pneumonia-related hospitalizations and deaths, are now counted counted as H1N1. It almost reads like any respiratory illness and or death, is now tallies up as swine flu. Isn't that what I have been speculating all along?

However, the syndromic reports of all hospitalizations and deaths recorded as either influenza or pneumonia will mean that the case counts are less specific than before and will include cases that are not related to influenza infection.

That looks a lot like government talk for we are knowingly inflating the numbers.

Due to CDC’s new case definitions, there will be no definitive way to differentiate between hospitalizations and deaths due to seasonal influenza versus those due to 2009 H1N1 influenza from aggregate reporting.  And some deaths that are not due to influenza specifically will be included.

So they are indeed, inflating the numbers of illness and death related to H1N1.

But don't take my word for it, read the CDC site:

So the question is why? Why create a pandemic, and inflate the numbers to support your claim. Why declare a State of National Emergency, when you know the numbers are inflated? Could it be as simple as a grand money making scheme for the drug manufacturers and the world governments?

35,000 people die every year from influenza in the United States alone. This year this number will escalate simply by the changing of the criteria of how, and what, they are counting the flu cases. I am not saying H1N1 is probably very nasty and might kill folks. I am saying there is no real evidence of a pandemic, and the numbers from the government are now backing up my argument.

What I fear is this sham was perpetrated as a means to an end. I think the numbers were inflated specifically so that a State of National Emergency could be declared under the radar. And my real fear is that this is only step one.
