Death from...

Something to think about, for a moment...

The number of deaths - i.e. in the 'leading causes of death' bracket winners in America....
  • Heart disease: 652,091
  • Cancer: 559,312
  • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 143,579
  • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 130,933
  • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 117,809
  • Diabetes: 75,119
  • Alzheimer's disease: 71,599
  • Influenza/Pneumonia: 63,001
  • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 43,901
  • Septicemia: 34,136

Source: Deaths: Final Data for 2005, Table C

According to an annual report published by the National Safety Council, there were 39,800 deaths last year related to motor vehicles in 2008.

The Swine Flu/Mexican (gotta keep it Kosher for our Israeli and Islamic friends out there) has killed 1 person in America. Hold on now, that's not 1 American... that one death was a Mexican child that took a plane to Houston and later died of the infection. What, you didn't hear about that part? No kidding?

Not to belittle the death of a child - that's not cool - but the fact that the FACTS aren't being discussed, and that our friends in the MSM have NOTHING to do but whip up unfounded fear and silliness over the flu. There's zero "reporting."

What do I suggest? How about how a little painter's mask isn't going to do anything to prevent you getting the flu. Maybe it is? I don't know, I sure as hell haven't heard anything about it.

How about a story 'reporting' and 'investigating' how or why the Mexican strain (it's the same) has killed people, but everywhere else it hasn't (so far). Is it because of Mexican Socialized Medicine? Lack of meds? Lack of care? Lack of training? Or is it because the folks who were infected were poor, vs. the Westerners were rich? Again, a lot of questions that haven't been asked - just a tally meter to tell you how many people have it on Google Maps.

Yeah, I posted that too - along with a second map that posted how many OTHER diseases are ravaging the entire world. If there was a map showing you how many people are suffering seasonal allergies - it'd be more impressive. Single cases and individual suspected cases sure is not news - nor does it look like a sweeping pandemic.

Now if in three weeks they're shutting down the ports in Madagascar... [you either get that gag, or you don't] ...then I'll shut my whore mouth.

If you excuse me, I've got to get to the grocery store and stock up on bacon since a whole pile of idiots think that you get the flu from eating pork. I mean - yeah, don't buy my bacon - it'll give you the Death Flu!!!
