There are four flu strains:
- The dominant flu strain is H3N2, which often signals a severe season that affects the oldest and the youngest the hardest. CDC epidemiologist Brammer said, “We probably haven’t seen H3N2 peak yet.”
- Influenza A is predominating in California.
- H1N1 virus
- Influenza B: Brammer said it’s possible we will see a wave of H1N1 and influenza B before the season is over.
Brammer claims that this year’s vaccine contains all the circulating viruses. However, the vaccine is not very effective against H3N2. Dr. Michael Osterholm, who directs The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said the vaccine is, at best, only 10% effective on H3N2.
What to do:
- Wash hands often.
- Cover coughs and sneezes.
- Stay home if you’re sick.
- Given the virulence of this season’s flu epidemic, if you get sick, get medical help ASAP. Antiviral drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza are effective only if taken early.
If you’re in the medical field and you know more about this flu epidemic than what we are told publicly, please share your information.

It’d sure suck if Shumer,Pelosi,Feinstein and the rest of our current list of CIO (Crooks In Office) got this,lol.
I used to get vaccinated yearly until one year about 10 years or so ago, they said they had put something extra in the serum that year and I became deathly ill and stayed that way for five months. I suspect until it cleared my system. Not been vaccinated since.
Then my 24/7 sweats started for five months. They would start at my head and and work down my body. then disappear, then start over. Continually.
A physician charges 100-200 for injection, putting a heavy weight on our insurance companies and passed in to those that don’t even get an injection. Follow the money and you have an answer.
I must advise people to use caution in this report,
I have seen more than enough evidence to believe that there is a very real and present danger in VACCINATIONS, I have seen credible reports that government agencies have been involved in “scares,” stories of epidemics that were contrived, exaggerated etc. for shall we just say “questionable motives,” in regards to influenza specifically, vaccinations have very little effect on this infection due to 1. it is viral and difficult by nature to treat 2. composed of many different constantly changing viruses, which make it almost impossible to treat.
I most heartily believe that over the last century our medical care in the US has gone from a natural based health practice to an industry DESIGNED FOR PROFIT; as a result of this expansion of the industry, tied to big money, Big Pharma, corporations, etc. it has evolved into a monstrosity, where toxins are used to treat cancer, at exorbitant rates, which the best researchers state is detrimental (at best); cures for cancer, polio, etc. have been known for decades but like electric cars and carburetors that get t00 mpg they were BLACK-BALLED, harassed and driven out of business because it interfered with profits.
These agencies today are bought and controlled by large corporate powers and cannot be accepted without supporting information from trusted sources
I have also read that Tamiflu is, or can be, a dangerous drug that does not necessarily work.
Each person has to get on the internet while we still have it and research the subject for himself. This post contains very good information, but these people who died may have had other aggravating factors we just don’t know about. And let us remember that Big Pharma doesn’t make money by cranking out cures: They will do whatever it takes to keep the cash register ringing!
