H1N1 swine flu infects commercial swine in USA, reports USDA

The pork industry desperately wants you to believe “the Big Lie” about swine flu: That it can’t infect pigs, and therefore it’s perfectly safe to buy and eat lots and lots of pork products.
It’s a merry little tale, and it would be a nice little piece of information to pass along if only it were true.
But it isn’t.
H1N1 swine flu can and does infect pigs. And the safety margin for eating pork products from H1N1-infected pigs is not well known.
In fact, the USDA just confirmed H1N1 infections in commercial pigs (the kind used to make those pork chops you ate for breakfast). This is the first time that a commercial herd of pigs has been publicly acknowledged to be infected with H1N1 swine flu by the USDA. (And we all know from watching the USDA’s behavior on mad cow disease that the agency goes to great lengths to downplay any such reports…)
The timing of the announcement is, not surprisingly, highly suspicious. Just a few days ago, the USDA negotiated an end to the pork import ban placed on U.S. pork products by China. Before the ink on that agreement was even dry, the USDA — surprise! — announced they had discovered this H1N1 infection in commercial swine in the U.S.
This particular commercial herd of swine was located in Indiana. (The USDA isn’t saying where.) But here’s the best part: The USDA did not ban those pigs from being used in the food supply! At least I couldn’t find any such report after scouring the web looking for one. This means these swine flu infected pigs could end up on your dinner table (if you eat pork, that is).
This isn’t the first report of H1N1 infecting pigs in the USA, by the way. A few weeks ago, H1N1 infections were confirmed in show pigs at the Minnesota State Fair. Nobody seemed to care, since people weren’t planning on eating those show pigs (”Looks good on stage, but tastes even better on the plate!”), but now that H1N1 has been found in commercial herds, suddenly things seem different.
H1N1 swine flu has already been detected in swine herds in Canada, Australia, the UK and many other countries, according to an AP report. So this discovery isn’t exactly the world’s first.
Of course, any rational pork eater would have already figured out by now that the H1N1 virus is so mild, it poses virtually no health risk to anyone with some vitamin D and a healthy immune system. So technically speaking, even H1N1-infected pork probably poses no real threat to your health.
Then again, eating pork isn’t a very rational act to begin with, especially given that pigs are smarter than Man’s Best Friend (your family dog) and that they’re treated quite inhumanely in the pork producing factories and slaughterhouses. But I guess if you’re crazy enough to eat dead pig flesh, a little extra H1N1 probably won’t cause you any more harm.
By the way, H1N1 has also crossed from humans to cats and infected a cat in Iowa (http://content.usatoday.com/communi…). Since H1N1 already contains viral fragments of bird flu, human flu and swine flu, it makes me wonder how crazy things might get if it now starts combining with house cats. Could we soon be looking at Feline Swine Flu?

Pet cat in U.S. catches swine flu
WASHINGTON (Robin Hood Reuters) – A cat in Iowa has tested positive for H1N1 swine flu, the first time a cat has been diagnosed with the new pandemic strain, the American Veterinary Medical Association said on Wednesday.

The H1N1 vaccine contains nanotechnology. Magnectic particles that can effect your heart, other organs and act as Doppler Radar type tracking device. Could this provide the world elite a shut off button for those they consider undesirable or unworthy of life?
Perhaps this best explains their push for universal vaccinations.

Man, I am scared shitless. I think I’ll have another chicken wing. Oh fuck, bird flu…….. OK ok, I’ll have another slice of nice juicy roast beef…. er a ….. damn….. mad cow.

google human auto-immune system. read the words on the screen. learn the difference between cats pigs dogs and human immune systems. then you fucking idiots will know how improbable it is to catch any pig or cat disease. (the short version for americans : animals and humans have different autoimmunities that make it mathematically impossible – 1,000,000,000,000:1- to catch any diseases from animals. your and the ‘host’ animal have to have zero immune system and somehow the virus must mutate to allow itself, your mutated/nonfuctional system and mutated/nonfunctional animal host system to accept it. which is fucking astronomicaly improbable)
read a fucking book america.

“animals and humans have different autoimmunities that make it mathematically impossible – 1,000,000,000,000:1- to catch any diseases from animals”
Except for.. Rabies, Hoof & Mouth, parasites, anthrax, syphilis, Bubonic Plague, pnumonic plague, etc etc..
But ya, no disease is comunicable between Humans & Animals… /sarcasm off…

Does cooking the meat not kill the virus anyway? Another good reason to make your bacon super crispy!!

Mmmm, well, at least no humans, or living animals, would be hurt!! (”Brain-dead” counts, right??)

If you eat your pork raw enough to still have live H1N1 virus on it and an immune system so whacked out that your saliva and stomach acid doesn’t kill it, you should be more concerned about the triconosis worm eggs that have migrated through your bloodstream to the brain and are about to hatch out!

What this article doesn’t bother to mention is that cooking pork will kill any viruses lurking therein.

Guess the hogs from that lot in Mexico came north on vacation. Or else a few people have been giving their hogs a goodnight kiss. What a pile of BS!

* Many people claim that the new H1N1 swine flu vaccine was fast-tracked through production and did not undergo proper testing. In reality, the vaccine went through the same process as the seasonal flu vaccine. Unlike the seasonal flu, which requires several months of study each year to determine which strains to include, the H1N1 strain was known, negating months of research. The initial occurrence of H1N1 also came at a time when production of a vaccine would not interfere with seasonal vaccine production, which had just finished, and when resources (e.g., chicken eggs for growing the virus) were still available.
* Some claim that the H1N1 vaccine contains adjuvants, such as aluminum salts, AS03 or MF59 (aka squalene). After initial efficacy testing, however, the CDC determined that an adjuvant would not be required. Therefore, all forms of the H1N1 vaccine in the United States are adjuvant-free.
* Inevitably, someone brings up the 1976 swine flu vaccine in an attempt to show the purported dangers of the new vaccine. They will cite that the vaccine killed more people than the flu. They will also state that the vaccine induced Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in recipients. Although technically true, they are misleading. The 1976 strain infected around 13 individuals and killed one. The vaccine was given to 48.2 million people, with 25 deaths linked to the vaccine, a rate of about 1 per 2.5 million. In addition, around 532 vaccine recipients developed GBS, a rate of about 1 per 100,000, only slightly above GBS rates in unvaccinated populations. The vaccine was distributed before the 1976 strain was fully understood. While it shared a lot of similarities with the strain that caused the 1918 pandemic, thus raising fears of significant deaths, the 1976 strain did not spread beyond Fort Dix. In contrast, the current 2009 H1N1 strain has already spread around the world. So, in 1976, the government, media and the public jumped the gun, reacting before enough information was understood. Click the links in this paragraph for more information.
* The severity of H1N1, and seasonal flu in general, is often brushed off. People will claim that if infected, you will only be sick for a week, and then you’ll be fine. For the majority of cases, that is true. However, the seasonal flu kills, on average, around 30,000 people in the U.S., and 500,000 worldwide, each year. The 2009 H1N1 strain appears to have a similar severity as seasonal flu, though the burden is shifted toward younger individuals. Even individuals who survive may still require hospitalization. An October online early release study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that critical illness occurred very rapidly after hospitalization, primarily in young adults, necessitating the use of mechanical ventilation and other rescue therapies. With the combination of seasonal flu and H1N1 occurring at the same time, there are some fears that there may be a shortage of ventilators and support staff.
* Another common myth is that you can get the flu from the vaccine. With the flu shot, that cannot happen, as the vaccine uses an inactivated (killed) virus. The inhaled formulation uses a live, weakened virus, so it may cause mild flu-like symptoms, and there is a small chance of spreading the vaccine virus to close contacts. Generally, only minor local reactions occur. More serious reactions with either (e.g., headache, nausea, etc.) generally go away in 1 to 2 days, instead of the week or longer of more severe symptoms that true influenza infection would cause.
* Generally speaking, both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines are safe and effective. However, it must be noted that some people should not receive the vaccine (e.g., those with allergies to eggs). If you have any questions or concerns, consult your physician.

Cats are not very good to eat. Tough & stringy, lots of gristle. Get pork from cousin-inlaw, & his hogs are as clean as a hog can be. Buy local & fresh if possible. Stay away from pre-packaged, processed stuff, like wally-world has shipped in.
November 5th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Can anybody explain why? Did the commercial herd have to get their shots because they were to sold to the plubic?

this is a kick ass short film about martial law, and police brutality, and the rise of the republic you must see this and pass it on very power short film- amazing how close it all really is! Rise of the Rattlesnake -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx6tTH4RQfA
