We are told the first MERS virus case has now arrived in the US. The CDC and the World Health Organization have a new potential pandemic to hype.
As I’ve documented in past articles, we’ve been down this road before. Swine Flu, West Nile, Bird Flu, SARS. All duds. All hyped to the sky…and then the case numbers are miniscule.
You could take all the deaths from these “epidemics” and put them in one small footnote of the assessment that, every year, between 300,000 and 500,000 people around the world die from ordinary regular seasonal flu.
Yes, seasonal flu, about which there is no hype.
But even, you see, with regular seasonal flu, there are gigantic lies.
In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published a shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out a massive delusion, and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC.
Here is a quote from Doshi’s report:
“[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”
You see, the CDC has created one category that combines flu and pneumonia deaths. Why do they do this? Because they disingenuously assume that the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu.
This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes.
But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 revealed the presence of an influenza virus.
Therefore, the CDC could not say, with assurance, that more than 18 people died of influenza in 2001. Not 36,000 deaths. 18 deaths.
Doshi continues his assessment of published CDC flu-death statistics: “Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data show an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006).” These figures refer to flu separated out from pneumonia.
This death toll is obviously far lower than the parroted 36,000 figure. However, when you add the sensible condition that lab tests have to actually find the flu virus in patients, the numbers of flu deaths plummet even further.
In other words, it’s all promotion and hype.
“Well, uh, we say that 36,000 people die from the flu every year in the US. But actually, it’s closer to 20. However, we can’t admit that, because if we did, we’d be exposing our gigantic psyop. The whole campaign to scare people into getting a flu shot would have about the same effect as warning people to carry iron umbrellas, in case toasters fall out of upper-story windows…and, by the way, we’d be put in prison for fraud.”
Press outlets are now reporting that the MERS virus has caused 401 cases of illness in the whole world, and 93 deaths. On this basis, the pandemic hype is beginning. Again.

Diseases should be classified by cause. Deaths too.. Does anyone actually die from the flu?
Maybe we should start calling this a “propagandemic”, since the only thing reaching pandemic proportions is the amount of propaganda.
agree! When I was in NY during the WNV claimed epidemic, ONE MD head of the dept of health (Suffolk) was falsely stating that one person PROBABLY will test positive for WNV, so he approved neurotoxic unregulated permanently neuro destroying Malathion from helicopters 300 ft above residences while simultaneously hiring 18 year olds and older without formal training to spray neighborhoods without protective gear to spray the pyrethroid formulation Anvil. You literally could not see the house across a two lane street.
Medical malpractice!
NY sued and won under the clean air and water act but everyone was already combination poisoned.
Doctors never test you for viral infections. In fact, they rarely test you for anything when you develope infectious symptoms and just SAY its a virus! Maybe they will do the instant strep A test, if your throat is sore/red.
I recently had a fast developing upper respiratory infection and was told it was a virus, but had read about the increase in pertussis infections state to state. I went back to my doctor to get this tested, but this took a few weeks. I had a bacterial pertussis infection that should have been treated, but was too long since onset…????? and I am immune compromised to begin with.
Everyone was talking me out of this possibility. But, I was a lab supervisor for many years.
The whole system is a damaging fraud.
As is WNV testing. People also know nothing about the large amount of FALSE POSITIVES like PSA (70%), or in LYME testing. If you have active herpes simplex (cold sore), EBV Epstein Barr Virus, or H. Zoster (shingles chicken pox virus), or SV-40 (www.ccid.org) you will test positive for Lyme!!!! Says it right on the lab report, but doctors disregard and say you have Lyme.
