Tatyana Golikova is absolutely correct. This is a press fear mongering. H1N1 has a lower mortality rate than seasonal flu. The vaccines are a joke and are more dangerous than the flu itself. As for Ukraine, their situation is interesting as there are rumors of a plague like lung disease that pratically liquefies the lungs. Could this be more fear during Presidential run up? There was a story about a Mossad agent saying they would release a contagion through the vaccines in Ukraine. He was arrested shortly after a radio address. I am curious how this hockey player contracted the flu. One thing is for sure Fear spreading is definitely an agenda.
