Just wanted to share a really good article that Mike Boyle linked to on his blog the other day written by Dr. Mercola concerning the recent hoopla surrounding the Swine Flu.
Lets be honest, Dr. Mercola is technically bat shit crazy at times, and I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of things he often writes about. But I do have to admit that he’s great at filtering out the retarded and putting things into perspective. Which is to say, IT’S THE FREAKIN FLU people. While I do feel horrible that people have died, it’s not like this is Swine Cancer, Swine Ebola, or worse yet- Swine Paris Hilton.
It’s the flu. Every year roughly 36,000 people die from influenza, so it’s not like this is anything new. Besides, I’m willing to bet more people have vomited this morning watching The View than from the Swine Flu. True story. How come CNN doesn’t report that? Do I have to do all the work around here?
Nonetheless, check out the article. There are some parts that are a bit looney (mainly one of the theories that Swine Flu was industrially engineered by our government to boost pharmaceutical sales), but I do feel that it brings up many valid points that everyone should take the time to read. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts below.
