CDC: the FLU is killing Americans everywhere....(bush* major mess)...

OUR Government, the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC), is still SPINNING by refusing to post the number of KILLED Americans....CDC just doesn't post the TOTAL NUMBER OF DEATHS anymore...just posts a lot of statistical SPINNING....to cover for the BIG bush* failure to provide Americans with sufficient FLU vaccine ON TIME....a bush* failure that is KILLING a lot of Americans....slipped into the CDC reports is this jewel: THE FLU IS EPIDEMIC FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW.....three non-consecutive weeks at EPIDEMIC levels...and 45 MILLION American have NO health insurance under bush* policies...



and to help out bush*...Missouri simply didn't make a report....just ignored the request....no report....that's one way to manipulate the statistics and HIDE the number of Americans KILLED from the FLU....

Week ending February 26, 2005-Week 8
The following information may be quoted:

Synopsis:

The proportion of patient visits to sentinel providers for influenza-like illness (ILI) has been above the national baseline for seven consecutive weeks. The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza is above the epidemic threshold for the second consecutive week.....Thirty states reported widespread influenza activity......

Editorial Note:

Influenza activity was low in the United States from October through mid-December but steadily increased during January and February and might not have peaked. In the United States, influenza activity typically peaks during December--March (2) and, in 16 of the preceding 27 seasons, has peaked during February or later. During the 2003--04 influenza season, 153 pediatric deaths associated with influenza infection were reported from 40 states, whereas only nine such deaths have been reported so far this season. However, numerous influenza outbreaks have been reported in long-termcare facilities and among school children, and the number of pediatric deaths associated with laboratory-confirmed influenza is expected to increase before the end of this season.

Isn't the minimum necessary to show that the flu vaccine fiasco was responsible for deaths to show that the number or distribution of flu-related deaths differs from previous years in a significant way?

2005....WEEK 8, bush* fails to supply adequate FLU vaccine ON TIME...this year's FLU






2004...WEEK 8, with FLU vaccine available on time...last year's FLU

I guess they would if there was a Democrat in the White House. Since it's bush, he's given ANOTHER free pass from our "free" press. Free meaning, fact free, truth free. This is horrible news, but no one will ever know about it. Thanks again, MSM! :mad:

with bush* failure to provide adequate FLU vaccine on-time, coupled with bush* healthcare policies (...over 45 million Americans with NO healthcare insurance....so NO ACCESS to medical care)....the bushites are doing everything they can to SPIN this FLU EPIDEMIC into another "HAPPY bush* healthy Americans"....exactly like the bush* "Happy Iraqi" spinning....

I should have also indicated that timing was important.

Note the relative peaks, assuming that 2004-05 data aren't revised to show a later peak:


Compare similar peaks:

:o

cases are down alot and the patients that have the flu, have only a mild case. We're very fortunate this flu season.
