It is like swating flies. I can already see as I track the outbreak in India with a 1% CFR so far, and this is confirmed, and the info vault is locked tight in U.K. countries around the world are forming a Roman legion type formation where every piece of data that gets through which might be disturbing or alarming gets swatted.

Also, I am seeing good cop/ bad cop already as .gov starts stepping in the shoes of the friendly helper, with persons on line becomeing the understanding counselor while real data may be heavily censored. The ones not in the mix are bad, confused, and mentally challenged. Eventually they will be called harmful and dangerous. Eventually those trying to get some real numbers will be the bad guys. Alarmists. It reads like a script. And that is the way it is playing out.

Example being how safe the vaccine is to take.

The core of it is this:

WHO  also states that, with the widespread use of pandemic flu vaccine compared to seasonal vaccines, it is possible that some serious adverse effects will be reported, although these are likely to be rare occurrences and difficult to predict in advance. Unfortunately, full clinical data on the safety of the vaccine is unlikely to be available by the time the vaccine is distributed so monitoring of its safety and effectiveness will need to take place after administration of the vaccine has begun.

This is not okay.  Can we restate this as a non-euphemism.  The new flu vaccine will be more dangerous for you than your seasonal flu shot. If it is difficult to predict in advance, exactly how are they managing to predict they will be rare occurrences, and not large problems There isn't. In addition to not being able to predict the adverse reactions there is no way to predict how effective the vaccine is or the risk versus advantage of being vaccinated based on those numbers. There are no numbers. It is still not been proven that the danger of the flu, the mortailty rate is significant enough to merit the use of a fairly untested drug.

I can see this is going to be a fly by fly deal, where I find data and it gets swatted to discredit it.

Incredibly lacking is transparency. There is this statement that in U.K. there are less cases- down to only 30,000 reported. Well, they are not counting cases anymore, so of course you are going to get much less. There is also the natural resistance to want to hear bad news. Earlier, what I had not anticipated is that even if we have some pretty solid numbers of the CFR getting worse and things getting tougher- basically this will be irrelevant to the plan in place because they will be responding a maximum and if they start having problems, logically telling people will make them worse. 

We had the opposite happen in Wisconsin where they started testing and reporting cases and the numbers went way up.

Over all the philosophy is one of pacification and calm. The public is not capable of dealiing with real numbers, should they jump drastically, and therefore will not be given them.

Also seeing this new spin, just stay inside and don't worry about thing and quote 'the media just feeds the mentally unstable and makes them more afraid.'

This is manipulation. It is basically blacking out the media and telling you to ignore it.  Censoring your thinking before you even have a chance to consider it, and making you feel peer group threatened if you take it seriously. Very effective stuff.

No doubt in the scheme of things, those collecting and trying to get data to the masses are going to have a tough time of it. Even today- mine is one of the only posts on the situation in India. India is a huge place. For there to be only one hundred cases and oen death is a true strain in logic. This flu is incredible contagious.

Inevitably this fly will get swatted, but until then and amidst cries of (and have published the entire contra spin to this for fairness) data coming in with numbers and deaths-are what count. We are being told of one hundred cases and one death. And no mutation.

Did they sequence the Indian strain to make this observation. That it is not different from what was in California 6 months ago?

Of course, they have?

Where is the data?

Medclinician having the feeling the warm fuzzy stuff is going to win.  For as long as it can.
