Why is the central government making such a fuss about H1N1 Swine Influenza? And before that the H5N1Chicken Influenza? And before that the Duck Influenza A? Our government is telling us, if they don’t immunize our people, we might have another 1918 influenza panendemic.

Horse feathers! In 1918 we had no antibiotics to treat the secondary pneumonia and the bacterial pleural empyema that were the real killers back then. Today we have readily available, effective antibiotics and the physicians and surgeons who know how to use them. This, rather than some government immunization program, is the reason 1918 has not been repeated!

I find it ironic that it was the central government’s “expert,” Dr Anthony Fauci who capitulated to the demands of “President Cheney.” And disallowed patients and their personal physicians from being able to voluntarily immunize against smallpox. During the run up to Cheney’s phony war against Iraq. Cheney didn’t want (the extremely low incidence of) smallpox adverse reactions to spoil his little gift to the military industrial complex.

Since 1972,except for the military, there’s been no widespread smallpox immunization program in the United States. You must understand that, it is the loss of the herd immunity to smallpox that has left us highly vulnerable to smallpox biological warfare.

Attention! There is a distinct possibility that the Russians have sold weaponized smallpox to the Iranians. And in the event of an Iranian smallpox attack on our people, no Fauci crash smallpox immunization is going to save us. Why, Fauci and the federal government can’t even supply the vaccine, in a timely manner, in the relatively innocuous Swine Flu situation.

If you want to do something for the this country, Dr. Fauci, pull your head out of the sand, and go back and undo the smallpox trap that you and the CDC’s Dr. Julie Gerberding, on the orders of President Cheney, unwittingly, set for the American people. It’s for patients and their own physicians, not some group of government doctors, to decide re: smallpox vaccinations. Vaccinations that should be, instead, carried out in a timely and orderly fashion.

Listen! A biologic warfare smallpox attack on the American people, who are rapidly losing their herd immunity, is the real threat. Not the swine, chicken or duck flu. If you don’t believe me just ask the American Indian who, unlike the Europeans, had no centuries old vaccination program for, nor herd immunity to smallpox!
