Pandemic

Quoting a news headline for Friday October 23, 2009

"Obama declares swine flu a national emergency"

I recently learned that the Searle is the drug company that produces the H1N1 vaccine. Donald Rumsfeld is the CEO of Searle.

I believe we are confused. We're being encouraged to believe that this flu business is the problem that is leading to a pandemic. And it's certainly possible that it's just coincidence that the CEO of the company that produces the H1N1 flu vaccine is Donald Rumsfeld. I don't think it is a coincidence; however, and this is about more than a flu virus. It's probably about several things and this writing is about one of them.

I grew up hearing Mom say, "keep your hands away from your face! They're dirty!" and "Take your fingers out of your mouth!" Etc. Somehow in the last 40 years we've all forgotten what our mothers taught us! Watch carefully and you will find nary one person who doesn't touch their face during a conversation with you. Scratch their nose, hold their cheek in their hand, wipe their mouth, dangle a finger coyly from their lips, rub their eyes, etc. Try to do it yourself. Try to keep your hands away from your face for the duration of one full hour. I don't think you will succeed.

So what's happened? I believe it happens because it is more accepted. It is more accepted because more people are doing it. And I think that more people are doing it because they are itching more. And I think they are itchy more often (continuously?) because they are having allergic reactions to various environmental toxins ranging from the chemical fragrances found in colognes and dryer sheets to the clumps of chemicals spewing from the smoke stacks in the form of particulate matter.

The pandemic is not the flu. The actual pandemic is the mass of people who are suffering from allergic reactions to environmental toxins that they are being subjected to both knowingly and unknowingly.

Things to ponder:
-"What is that you're wearing? Your perfume, darling,, it's inTOXICating. What a heady scent!" Scratch, scratch. Tickle tickle.
-The large number of medicines that drug companies are marketing to sufferers of 'flu-like symptoms'. If it's not the flu, then what is it? 'Flu-like symptoms' makes as much sense to me as 'non-dairy creamer.'
