Bird Flu Kills 47th Asian Victim in Vietnam (Reuters)
Bird Flu Kills 47th Asian Victim in Vietnam

Sun Feb 27,10:32 PM ET Health - Reuters


By Ho Binh Minh

HANOI (Reuters) - Bird flu has killed a 69-year-old Vietnamese man, the 47th Asian victim of a virus experts fear could unleash a global influenza pandemic capable of wiping out millions of people.

The man was taken to a hospital in the northern province of Thai Binh on Feb. 19 and died last Wednesday, said Pham Van Diu, director of the province's Center of Preventive Medicine.


"We sent samples taken from him to Hanoi for tests and the results confirmed he had bird flu," he told Reuters on Monday.

1. I had the same question about the relationship of the deaths of the
microbiologists and the bird flu. I am not sure if there is a correlation. That question would need to go to someone with more knowledge in the field.

could cure everything from cancer to..yes the Bird flu.
http://rense.com/general39/death.htm http://farshores.org/sc05mic.htm

It seems the pill factories want to continue the present system of deliberately NOT researching a "CURE" but going for a system of drug "Maintenance" in order to charge you rent on your suffering.

this flue can reduce the worlds population to about 1.2 billion in a couple of months.. it would then return every year and take some more.

When this shit hits there will be no services, the hospitals will be a big cemetery of rotting corpses, including the doctors and nurses. there will be not water or sewer or electrical generators running.. the operators will all be dead or sick.

all this was preventable if Comodus Bush http://www.washingtondispatch.com/opinion/article_10291.shtml wasn't jerking off the corporations while childishly chanting.. "I better than my daddy was" ..

this wet brain alcoholic moron has inhibited the scientific community
so he can focus on increasing his Fascist Corporate power..

there are literally no vaccine factories in the USA, there are some micro labs but they will be looted. they are all outsourced to countries who will not send us any when the bird flu hits the fan. we should be gearing up to meet the inevitable DISASTER. the destruction of civilization as we know it.. but that is what they want, a smaller managable population. i think they had high hopes that AIDS would kill off all the sinners and fornicators but it took too long to kill the victom.. the bird flu aparently kills in days.
we are talking 70% .. i heard 84% in Viet Nam

But i am certain that the power elate already has their vaccine and air filtered flue shelters. but i confident of one thing.. eventually the Fuckers will have to come out.. and what they will find is Mad Max and the Thunder Dome, nothing will save them.. They are living in fantasy land if they think they will be in charge of a Brave New World.. what they find will eat them alive.

3. tic-toc
Looks like this guy got it from drinking duck blood.

When the human to human transmission cases start showing up with more frequency- that's when it's time to start really worrying.

5. Interestingly enough one of the first few "experts" that died early on
was the man known round the world as "Dr. Flu". He lived in Colorado I believe, but I know for sure he died in a plane crash in those first few months shortly after 9/11 when we lost the first 17. I'm sorry, I don't have the link handy and to be honest I don't feel like looking for it right now. Sorry. One place I know you can find the info is www.copvcia.com Ruppert's site.

6. I've told everyone in my fam to sock away doses of Tamiflu
When the pandemic starts it won't be available. I hope my fellow DUers also stockpile this drug, just in case.

10. Yeah you need a script, it's about $65 for the 10-pill pack.
It's an anti-viral drug that interferes with the ability of it to replicate, so even when it mutates to human form, if you take it within 48 hours of symptoms it is very effective.

I hate to sound like a big pharma pusher, but I think this is a valuable product; England stockpiled this for their first responders and such.

Tamiflu info from Roche

11. See above - about $65. I don't have health ins either but this
is worth it...

If you don't have a primary doc like me, go to a local urgent care place. Their appointments are usually pretty cheap, in the $80-$100 range. Well, cheap compared to the ER. I go to urgent care for bad migraines and get injections of phergan and toradol for about $150, including the meds. The ER would probably be $1500 for the same thing.
