Typhoid Purduey (Not as catchy as Mary)

by funklord

Similar to the real life Typhoid Mary, a woman at Purdue University contracted Typhoid in a foreign country and brought it to the US.  She MAY have infected several people at Purdue University, but no numbers have been released yet. People are being quarantined.

The scariest part is that for college kids, you almost HAVE to eat in the cafeteria.  Most people expect to die because of the terrible quality of the food itself, NOT because someone tainted it with Typhoid.  That’s just science.

It looks like I have to start:

The 2013 Flu? BOOO!

by funklord

We are a week into the new year, and it looks like my it’s time for a new Disease Countdown (as well as a conspiracy Theory).

The 2013 OFFICIAL Disease Countdown

1.  The 2012-2013 Flu

Yes the Flu ladies and gentleman.  You remember the Swine Flu of seasons past?  The one that was so bad that nothing happened?  Every (smart) person said that more people die each year from the regular Flu?  Then they made a new vaccine (that didn’t work) and fearing for their lives, everyone took it?  Yeah well it turns out the regular Flu is one Bad Mutha (shut yo mouth…when you cough), and worse than any of the predictions for Swine Flu.

3,000 people hospitalized, and 18 kids dead in the last 3 months.  They have pushed this Flu Shot more than any other season.  Why?  And I don’t even understand the concept of a Flu Shot.  When I was a kid, I remember that people taking Flu shots was rare.  Usually it was kids and the elderly, or those with weak immune systems.  In the past 5 years it is now almost mandatory (socially) to take one of these things with a lot of companies shouldering the financial burden for their employees. The shot also available in every drugstore.  Did you know that the Flu shot is the ONLY shot in America that contains BOTH Mercury and Formaldehyde?  For what?  These “preservatives” don’t make it last longer.

This I do not understand either:  apparently 127 MILLION doses were distributed this season, from 15 million produced.  How does that math make sense?!  Are they watering these things down (with Mercury derivatives and Formaldehyde)?  127 MILLION people vaccinated is about 40% of the entire US population, and yet this is one of the worst seasons in the past decade according to the CDC?  25% of the people infected too the vaccine?  That doesn’t seem like a great success rate.

You know what is a great Flu preventative?  Washing our hands and maintaining your personal immune system:  Lots of sleep, fruits and vegetables, and limited stress.
