i was hoping like a “there is no myth… IDIOT!!”
pfft. i had the swine flu.. i also have asthma and an allergy to ragweed, there were ragweeds growing up the side of my house… and i didnt even need to go to the holspital once.. naturally got over it using only aspirin..
its hyped up shit… thats what it is… i did however cause lung damage… thats the only bad thing.. got cool WEEK off of school..
Great video!! Thanks. Check out our H1N1 video, search: FEDDE SLIME BOY: first result
there is a pending investigation on the makers of the swine flu vaccine. I guess it is alleged that the pharma company that created the vaccine used their political and media connections to hype up the severity of H1N1, so they could sell a very large amount of their vaccine.. Now, alot of countries paid alot of money with the intention of vaccinating its citizens while these criminal perpetrate a false pandemic. Serious charges methinks.. btw, my daughter had swine flu and was fine after 2 days
mythbusters! <3
I work in a lab, in a hospital
you are right
also swine flu is just bird flu ( avian flu) in green
the next flu will be made up by the media at some point
maybe hamster flu
our little microscopic friends will come back with a vengeance. search…….The Decline And Fall Of The Human Race.
OK folks. I’ve asked doctors, pharmacists, nurses & drug companies how many of those who died from the H1N1 virus were vaccinated, and guess what. NOBODY KNOWS.
And do you know why they don’t know such-easy-to gather information?
Obviously the news is not good. We hear about deaths, but not about the raw numbers, the hard facts, the real science that proves that the vaccine either works or it doesn’t.
Anyway, all you sheep can now go back to sleep.
説得力がありすぎる動画。
Ya same here, except I was in California until I died. Now my ashes are floating in the Pacific.
I had the vaccine three weeks ago, and then lost all free will, posted government slogans on websites, then two weeks ago I died! But it was okay because even though I was in the woods the GPS they put in at the same time helped cops find the body. And then birds ate my corpse and the vaccine killed them too! And those were sold at KFC and the passed vaccine killed the entire state of New York, no one alive anymore! Just because one person got the vaccine! The horror!
Some people are idiots…
fck the vaccine, i was exposed to 2 people on 2 diff occasions, both had swine flu and im fine. all u need is vit C and fish oil. and oh by the way, i work in a convenience store and am exposed to hundreds of people per day and their filthy money.
