Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / July 2009Forget HIVAIDS - Pig Flu is the next big thing
Today, HIV-Gay-AIDS is sitting on the back burning. Pig Flu is the latest catastrophe waiting to wipe out mankind. The BBC's News website offers this headline: ----- Begin Quote ----- NHS 'facing huge flu challenge' Swine flu is the NHS's biggest challenge in a generation, the chief medical officer says, as the UK death toll reaches 30. ----- End Quote ----- Full panic-stations article here: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8162061.stm>. NHS's biggest challenge in a generation... 30 dead!!! To put that in to prospective, during 2007-8 errors made by the NHS led to 3,645 deaths in England. <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7813634.stm>: ----- Begin Quote ----- More than 3,000 hospital patients have died because of errors by NHS staff in England over the past year, figures show. Hospitals reported 3,645 deaths in 2007-8 from patient safety incidents, data from the Lib Dems showed. The figure included those relating to problems with scans and tests and hospital infections. ----- End Quote -----  Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> 5,303 days and counting... <http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/07/23/swine-flu-vaccine-will-not-b e-fully-tested-before-use-115875-21541092/>: ----- Begin Quote ----- Desperate health chiefs are to start handing out the new swine flu vaccine before full human trials are carried out. They are so anxious to stop the pandemic that the public will begin being immunised after the first drug batches arrive next month. Gsk - the company supplying the vaccine - admits tests would be limited in the early stages. This has worried some experts who highlight America's dodgy swine flu immunisation programme 33 years ago which was linked to the deaths of 30 people. It was stopped early when several hundred people developed a rare condition that causes temporary paralysis. ----- End Quote ----- For the record: I will definitely NOT be having the Pig Flu vaccine and I believe the whole thing has been vastly over-hyped.
