point noted. but, it clearly states, in the report and on the website, that the information is to be freely shared and/or added to.

Back on the irritainment track, I believe it was Lenny Horowitz who asked the question: What will happen if/when H1N1 combines w/ H5N1 via those vaccinated, accidentally, with the bird flu in 2008's seasonal flu shot . I'm wishing that that were conspiranoia. But it's an interesting question nonetheless.

I think we turn into vampires. That topic seems to be very trendy lately.

Only space vampires would be sexy enough for me personally. Lifeforce being Patrick Stewarts finest role. But, haughty sarcasm aside, are they tracking those accidentally vaccinated? or should everything related to this flu be as disorganized as rumour and conjecture and then grounds for the usual:'we don't know", plausible deniability through what seems to be subjectively anecdotal reports that are always 'biased' by the fact that a surveying of said facts are done by an independant group. And of course, the other side full of curt, smugsters that allude to believing in aliens and other argumentum ad hominem pertaining to personal strawmen.

I personally don't know anything about "accidental vaccination".

here's one of those 'conspiracy' websites. I may be an irritainer, but I want to dwell in reality. I'm sure you'll find lots more w/ a little perusal.

Mortality data.
Total deaths:8351
>65: 5505
45-64:2056
25-44:470
1-24:171
<1:148
P&I:600
Proportion of P&I.7.2%


From the data compiled thusfar, would it not seem idiotic to typify this as a young persons disease??, solely by the numbers that is.

And if indeed, these were the flu numbers from last year:

Total: 11296

25-44:658
1-24:252
<1:251
P&I: 717
Proportion of P&I:6.3%


Would it not be idiotic to be in the midst of a pandemic and vaccine furor, when at the same time period, last year, we were floating along like nothing was wrong?????? What gives?

I Am Legend was a great flick, but I think they were zombies, not vampires :read:

Zombies, Space vampires and vagina dentatas aside. Figures are figures. Daily, 4000 children under 5 die from pneumonia. That number doesn't incorporate the elderly or the youthful, 'supposedly' healthy that succumb. Probably twice that from hunger and many other nutritionally preventable deaths. I'm seeing the usual foible foisted that the 500,000 deaths worldwide from 'average' seasonal influenza are like comparing figs to fahrvegnugen. That is not so, it is easily related that many of these deaths are from complications arising from the flu; As are this flu's mortality figures, in many, almost most, cases are due to this flu being a complication and not the main culprit. I'm sure that if people with preexisting conditions were struck from this list, the numbers of dead would be lower and not what some convey as being underreported or grossly underestimated. I realize that this type of reasoning makes this flu extremely unsexy to the apocalyptic/necrophile set. But, I'll call a plum a plum and assume that this flu popped up during a worldwide recession for a reason. By Ockhams razor, I'll stick to the assertion that Fear Immobilizes Rational thought. For those that find death and disease a sporting event and would like to see some scores:

From what I've read locally and on various websites; It seems that the next few weeks will be flat in case increases, leading to a Killer Tsunami that will wash ashore shortly after christmas. :blackeye: what are the betting odds on this one?
