if this was just a normal flu virus that makes the very young and very old people sick, we wouldnt be having this discussion

the reason why this is all over the media is coz it makes people in the prime of life (healthy 20-40 year olds) sick and kills of them

ok?

the human element other people are suggesting here is sinadya ng mad scientist (haha)

and people call me a conspiracy theorist

About TB

almost everyone in the Phils. has latent TB. Ask any pulmonologist.

Latent TB only turns into active TB when resistance weakens

nobody is immune to TB

you just don't get sick of TB coz you're healthy

i challenge anyone to get a TB skin test

lalo people who think they don't have TB

you'll be surprised

negative sa Xray pero positive sa skin test

the present contagion is considered pandemic by WHO coz it has the characteristic of novelty, therefore, to some extent it's an invention.

there's no TB vaccine

these drugs are not preventive, rather they are curative...so if no symptoms suggesting the infection, you dont take any of these...that's what Dr. Tayag told the Filipinos on tv...

there's no vaccine yet

about the antiviral, if you're not sick yet, di ka naman iinom ng antiviral diba?

pag nagka flu ka na, di mo naman alam swine flu yan, baka normal flu lang

you have to get tested

but the test isnt widely available

so di ka din iinom basta basta ng antiviral

and the antivirals are not available everywhere
