Swine Flu- IWhat are you thoughts in regards to the conspiracy theorists?

Do you really believe the conspiracy theorists and that swine flu is a conspiracy? We are well aware now that the swine flu pandemic, means the virus is spreading at an alarming rate across the globe and may be becoming resistant to the antibiotics and medicines we have to guard against it. Nearly 70 countries have now confirmed cases of the h1n1 virus, and the numbers are rising. As you might have guessed, throughout all this chaos, many have a heightened panic level about how the h1n1 virus is transmitted and are constantly on the look out for ways they can guard themselves.

A lot of the panic is hyped up by the media as people try to sort fact from fiction. People are constantly being bombarded with messages about being prepared for the worse.
And furthermore, there is a great amount of panic among well-meaning parents who want to get their children vaccinated but only to be disappointed because that there is no vaccine that has won the approval of the United States government. However on the reverse side, there are some parents who fear vaccination all together and haven’t taken the necessary swine flu precautions in order to protect their children.

Let's cut to the chase…it’s time for a little common sense mixed in with caution. It’s certainly true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The CDC (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention) are saying that exceptional hygiene, thorough hand washing, and also taking your multivitamins and staying home when you feel sick are some of the best ways to ensure you come out of this unscathed.

However. these simple strategies understandably will not be enough for some people. Hence it's why there are many swine flu conspiracy theories in existence today. Furthermore, many people would say that there was some deeper root cause for a virus of this nature to spread this quickly across the world.

Here are what some of the conspiracy theorists are saying, agree with them or not, have your say by posting below this post.

1. The virus has been manufactured as a result of an experiment by one major pharmaceutical company here in the US. People are saying it was released by accident and now the government is trying its best to cover it up.

2. Another theory is that it's a naturally mutated virus which has been caused by hog factory farms in Mexico.

3. An act of Terrorism- plain and simple, terrorist are diverting their strategies away from instant destruction and favouring a move towards bio-terrorism.

4. The swine flu virus, some say, was specifically manufactured as a means for the rich to wipe out the poor.

5. Global Warming is responsible for causing this virus .

However, make sure you don’t fall victim to this 'pandemic'. Take the necessary precautions listed by the CDC and WHO and err. on the side of caution.
