CDC released some figures... 22 MILLLION people in American got and survived the H1N1. I know a couple of people that suspected they had it and didn't get tested. This number cannot be correct and they suggest it's estimated, but I believe it's higher not lower based on people that got an early flu without getting tested, but we can play with this figure. Around 98,000 were hospitalized and survived. Most were likely at risk with pre-existing health issues, which is why they landed in the hospital while millions more didn't! Yes, some healthy people died, but not from H1N1, but likely pneumonia. Pneumonia is nasty regardless of the H1N1 and kills a lot of people every year and things like aids, cancer treatment, and flu viruses can allow this nasty infection to invade the body. If you looked at pneumonia and seasonal flu deaths for a year you will find pretty scary numbers... So how many people died from H1N1? 4000! These records have to be a bit more correct since this is actually recorded so I believe this number, while not totally correct, would be very close. Seems our immune system does it's job just fine without this magic vaccine that the media pushed hard due to "scare ratings" making these drug companies one hell of a profit as a side effect. As usual math and logic totally get ignored, like religion ignores science and history, and it's causing people to get unknown barely tested crap injected into their children! I will not risk this on my child with a 22 + million immune system success rate and only around 4000 deaths (540 or so children). As a reference point: According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the resident population of the United States, projected to 11/20/09 at 05:12 UTC (EST+5) is 307,974,791 Deaths from Pneumonia: 61,777 people died from pneumonia each year in the US 2001 (Deaths: Final data for 2001, NCHS, CDC) Here's a decent article on the seasonal flu death numbers from the CDC. I suspect no totals will ever be correct for any statistical analysis on a population of this size, but I also believe they count high to cover their asses in many cases.

Have you ever given to charity? Makes you feel good to know some poor family will get to eat one meal while you and the leader of the charity eats every night. You did you part, right? You helped that guy get a pair of socks who was born with a mental defect and is unable to care for himself that was kicked out of his institutional home, because people shouldn't get a free ride, right? You're so caring of your fellow man's rights and security you're willing to pay taxes and fight against the death penalty to keep murderers alive in prison so they can run their street gangs that sell drugs to your children. Never mind the bullets flying over head or the rapes and beatings to your daughters, that's just a return on your investment. All this love and caring makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! Free medical care for repeat offenders who do nothing but cause harm to good people coupled with an occasional free meal to a family who likely ended up where they are due to medical bills and/or employment evils... People suffering and dying is 100% acceptable, because we can alleviate some guilt from the evils of our society and our own selfishness in the form of small donations. God forbid we actually fix these problems at the root! No sir, the politicians and corporations will guide our thinking so we can continue on our path of charity and salvation, while they collect millions of dollars that benefit the few. Can anyone answer me as to why medical care isn't non-profit like the church? We care so much for our fellow man, but are willing to let him die if he gets cancer. We fight so hard to keep evil people happy and healthy in our prison systems, but punish hard working people financially for getting sick. Let them fall to the streets or die, I gave to my local cancer charity. It amazes me that there is a cheap, quick, and effective treatment to cocaine, heroin, alcohol, methamphetamine addictions, but we don't use it! It's illegal in fact. Now how are the medical services for addiction treatment going to make large amounts of money on 30 days to years of treatment that typically fail if we can almost always have a successful treatment in just a few days? How about the poor drug companies? How will they keep raking in profits for non-effective medication? Methadone literally keeps you a heroin addict, it doesn't treat you, just allows an addict to get through the day without withdraw sickness. Talk about slavery to corporate America! I figure with the amount of death and crime caused by drug addiction, the few dangers of treatment with ibogaine in a controlled environment, at the patients choice, is worth the risk. For those who fear it would become yet another street drug, it makes you ill so it wouldn't likely be a good choice for recreational drug users; this fear certainly hasn't stopped the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical heroin and opiates like oxycontin, valium, or vicodin. We care so much for our fellow man that we refuse to offer health care, for non-profit, to everyone including ourselves, but if you're lucky enough to get on the news because they feel sorry for you, maybe you can get a week or two of charity moneys to help pay for an apartment near your child's cancer treatment facility. That helps, as long as someone is working for those millions we hand over to the medical industry and you're deemed worthy enough for charity. Now imagine we cheaply cure millions of addicted people, people that would likely enter the prison systems. Imagine how much money this would save! Imagine how much safer your streets would be, even if only by 10%! That's what I call rehabilitation. Seriously imagine we effectively treated a drug addict with ibogaine, for free because everyone has health care, and he never enters the prison system where he becomes a murdering Nazi gang member, in order to protect himself inside, who spreads aids and creates more drug addicts by selling meth once he gets out. Now this is looking better isn't it? How about keeping that insane guy, who is unable to work, that lives under a bridge healthy and clean? Again, less crime, less human suffering, and possibly less disease spread. Wow! Now you're starting to really care about your fellow man and your life is getting a little better at the same time! I'll bet is becoming cheaper also, even thought your paying for everyone to have the basic right to free non-profit health care! How's that guilt, little less of that as well?
