Saturday: WASHINGTON - "President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.

The declaration, signed Friday night and announced Saturday, comes with the disease more prevalent than ever in the country and production delays undercutting the government's initial, optimistic estimates that as many as 120 million doses of the vaccine could be available by mid-October."

"Optimistic", estimates about the Swine Flu vaccine, is an understatement. Those of you who are here often know that we've talked about the vaccine "fairy tales" for months.

By July and August, what would happen with Swine Flu vaccine was starting to be obvious...there was no way for them to pull off their ridiculous claims of millions of doses of this vaccine in time. Vaccine takes time, even when things go perfectly, and things haven't gone perfectly, at all.

The vaccine coverage is weak, the age group in the most danger will need two doses. This means, even if they got the vaccine today, it will be December before they are have "presumed" immunity by it. The vaccine hasn't been tested, and they are now compaigning to put adjuvants (extenders) in it, which are not allowed in the US.. We don't know if it's safe, and we don't know if it works. They are having severe production problems, but of course trying to downplay the difficulties they're having.

The cat is out of the bag of the vaccine, so let's move on to something else, something CRITICAL.

Some people wonder why the government and the CDC making such a big deal of Swine Flu vaccine, since it doesn't seem to be a terribly deadly flu, statistically? Why can't Swine Flu just run its course?

The answer is simple, but you probably won't hear it on TV. The answer is rooted in history, and especially highlighted in the incredibly deadly Influenza Pandemic of 1917-1918. In that winter and spring, between 75 and 100 MILLION people died. That's more deaths than every war in history, combined!

The 1918 flu has a secret to tell us, something that is not being advertised to the public.The unpleasant and undiscussed fact about the 1918 Influenza is this: Flu comes in waves, and often an Influenza will become much more deadly as the winter goes on. We are in Wave 1, or early Wave 2, of this flu. In 1918, Waves 1 and 2 were no more deadly than the current Pandemic. THE DEATHS HAPPENED LATE IN THE PANDEMIC, IN THE 4TH AND LATER WAVES!

Good public health policy is rooted in the notion that it's very bad to create panic, and that it's in the interest of public health to get folks to cooperate WITHOUT scaring the pants off of them,

Well, to heck with that. We want to know exactly what is going on. To heck with the government "herding-of-the-sheep", we want to know the truth, so we can make intelligent decisions that are correct for ourselves and our families!

You can be sure that nobody from the CDC is going to call a news conference to talk about this.

THAT is the explanation for this vaccine push. Public health officials are frantic about what could happen in late winter and early spring. If the vaccine ever arrives in quantities large enough to make a difference, and it's safe, and it works, (big questions) there is not going to be enough! Dallas County, population several million, got a measly few thousand doses. Some counties got only 200 or 300 doses!

Should you take the vaccine? How does a person separate truth from lies, and drug company money-grubbing from good advice?

Right now, hospitals in many areas are overwhelmed with Swine Flu patients.

On the evening of September 30, I got an up close and personal peek at what I've been writing about since 2005. What would happen to the hospitals during a truly deadly pandemic? The answer is: Total collapse of the hospital system.

My niece cut her forehead badly, while cleaning her garage. She needed stitches. We knew that most hospitals were seeing hundreds of Swine Flu patients each day, so we chose a tiny private hospital. When we walked in the door, the Swine Flu patients and families were in masks (the useless type), furnished by the hospital. It was virtual bedlam, with patients overflowing the halls and out the doors.

A sick child was dragging her blanket across the floor, and another child was picking up the tissues dropped by the other sick patients. A health care worker told us that some of the patients were in poor condition, and that we would have a long wait. We ran for the door, determining to treat the wound ourselves until seeing a plastic surgeon the next day. It was just plain scary.

I've written since 2004 about the possibility of collapse during a pandemic, but I'd never really felt it before.

Right now, this flu has a case fatality rate of less than 1%. What if this flu mutates to a CFR of 25%, or even as lesser 5%? We would be in unbelievable trouble. It's certainly possible: Bird Flu had an 82% fatality rate. It was actually too deadly to spread efficiently, it killed too many of its victims!

The answer is to have the supplies your family needs to survive a national emergency.

If a severe Pandemic happens, supply lines will crumble, and it could happen surprisingly quickly. What if doctors, nurses, truck drivers, electrical workers, water utility workers, grocery stores workers, were either very sick, or decided to stay home to stay well during a late-winter, much deadlier, Pandemic?

Think that a vaccine will prevent all this? There are some facts about vaccine availability everyone needs to know.

A massive amount of vaccine is needed. We aren't going to have enough, or even close to enough. The amount they'll have, and the date they'll be available, is a fantasy. Think about it. The US has over 300 million people, and the world has almost 7 billion. Very little vaccine is made in the US.
We will be the guinea pigs. The vaccine won't be tested, there is no time. Maybe it will work, maybe not. In the race for the money, much of it will have adjuvant (extra vaccine enhancing ingredient), which gives additional safety risk, and most of it will have Thimerosal preservative, too. There is a huge financial motive to current vaccine preparation.
If it becomes available to you, then you must make the decision whether you and your family will be injected with several doses of this untested product. Worse, the vaccine they are making now might not even work on the mutation of the germ that we'll have late this winter.
If you get the disease in the 1st wave, you aren't going to necessarily be completely immune to the virus in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th waves, due to viral mutation. In virology, there's a term called "drift". When an influenza drifts, it means that it's constantly mutating into a different form.

This novel Swine Flu (H1N1 Type A Influenza) has the components to mutate into a more virulent, more contagious, more deadly form, and our government knows it. We've never seen a flu like this. That's why they're rushing to get out a vaccine.

If this flu mutates into a high death-rate influenza, will you be ready? Think about it. After the fatality rate begins to rise, and the exaggerated promises of millions of doses of vaccine begin to fade, how many will be too sick to work, or staying home to keep from being infected? The schools will be closed. The items and services we take for granted each day could fall apart, and quickly. Things like grocery supply, utilities, and medical care have an incredibly delicate balance. What if the critical workers are home? Even so, why the heck would a person need to prepare, like for a disaster, for a stupid flu? Could it reach the point that so many people are sick, or hunkered-down in their homes to keep from getting sick, that society could be completely disrupted? YES!

This Swine/Avian/Human Influenza is not seasonal flu. It's not a 'normal' flu. Your regular flu shot will not work! It is a novel influenza virus that is unlikely to be contained for a long time, and it has a very good possibility of mutating into a much more deadly form.

It has the scientific profile to become a severe and deadly pandemic. This flu could become incredibly nasty, and health officials are terrified of it. Are you prepared for a disaster or emergency that might interrupt the supply system in the U.S.? If something happens, will you be prepared and have the supplies you need? Or will you be in line for basic needs like food and clean water, like the Katrina victims?

Your plan should involve you preparing for mass illness, and the breakdown of supplies and services that will go with that. Does this sound impossible? Unfortunately, it is possible, and even probable. The government couldn't handle Hurricane Katrina, (and its tiny geographic area), and it couldn't control the financial crisis. It certainly can't handle something this big!

The vaccine proponents, manufacturers, WHO, and CDC are presenting overly hopeful views. The fact is, there is no time to do what they are promising. Vaccine preparation is not going well right now, they are running into problems. Again, the regular shot does not work on this flu.

We're only in the "First Wave" of this influenza. In the 1918 'Spanish Flu' pandemic, the death rate started off very low in the 1st Wave, but as Waves 2, 3, and 4 arrived, the influenza killed a larger and larger percentage, as the flu evolved.

Our society can't function during a severe pandemic, the effect on supply will be disastrous. Our supply system is very easily disrupted. If there is a little snowstorm predicted, humans converge on the grocery stores and strip the shelves of food and water. They act like they'll be trapped in their homes for months. Will there be a point that you'll want to (or have to) go home and isolate your family?

What if people really could be trapped inside for a long period of time, either by quarantine, or by the choice of saving their lives? The supply of necessities could be gone in the blink of an eye, and the stores could stay empty for weeks. There could be a frightening and sickening competition for food, taking place in an infectious public environment.

Medical supplies could be inadequate and hospitals will be completely overwhelmed. A disease outbreak could cause unprecedented stress on the modern medical system. Many medical workers surveyed have already decided they will go home during a more deadly pandemic, rather than expose their families. The hospitals will be hotbeds of disease, so other care for other illnesses will be out of the question. You can see that if hundreds of thousands (or even millions) are gravely ill, there are not enough hospitals to treat the sick.

This particular flu has some very bad points, some features which make it the nastiest little bug we've ever seen. Here are the big problems with this particular influenza, the reasons why we should be very worried about this winter:

This flu has managed to spread in hot weather. This says volumes about its toughness. Viruses love the cold, but usually die quickly in the heat.
This particular flu is incredibly contagious.
We're already seeing cases of something called "cytokine storm", where the person is killed very quickly by the over-reaction of their own immune system. Cytokine storm explains why children and teens die at an unexpected rate: They are killed by their own immune system, simply because they have a great immune system.
We've heard lots of people (most!) say "they'll just get their flu shot". This shows a complete misunderstanding of how the flu shot works. Each year the flu shot is done for 3 types of flu, done by educated guess. We didn't have this virus when the 2009-2010 dose was designed. (Their guess is wrong much of the time, anyway) We already know that one of the three seasonal flu trivalents is wrong for this year.

If you want to hedge your bets, it's time to get some preparations in place. We're here to give you some help and ideas about how to prepare for a situation where you and your family need to isolate yourselves from contact with others.

Are you ready to take care of yourself and your family, or will you be in line at the stadium for your can of Spam? Prepping is more than just preparing for influenza. What if a multi-city terrorist attack, monster earthquake, or something similar happens? Now we have a crazy North Korean dictator (who HAS nuclear weapons!) threatening Nuclear War against the USA. Hurricane Katrina disrupted trucking over the entire US, and it was a tiny geographical area. Preparing for national or severe local emergency isn't "being paranoid", it's common sense.

Will you have masks for protection for your upper respiratory system when you must go out after a disaster, or during a pandemic? Can you make clean water for yourself if the utility workers are home, ill? Can you get news and information if the electricity goes out from lack of critical workers?

When it happens, it will be far too late to plan!

Pandemics (and many disastrous epidemics) have been with us throughout history. Modern medicine gives us no immunity from a pandemic flu. In fact, we are far past-due for the next disease pandemic. As you know, there is no cure for influenza.

Everyone should do the common sense thing: Be prepared for a disaster. Bad things don't happen only to people in other countries, or just to poor people.

We are vulnerable to nuclear war, biological terrorism, weather disaster, earthquake, and many other disasters. Most don't dwell on the possibility. But we don't want to be foolish, either. We want to prepare to take care of our families. What if something big happened? Our country would shut down.

If a pandemic flu hits, the way to avoid serious illness and death is to isolate yourself from the infection,

and wear protective masks/respirators when you must go out in public. You will need extra food, and a way to get clean water, such as a water purifier, when the utilities begin to have problems. You need some flashlights and a radio, preferably not the kind that depend on batteries. The batteries will be sold out! You need to make sure that you are stocked up on essential medical supplies. Please look at our supply lists. They include most of what you will need, with an eye to budget.

From the U.S. Government:
"The United States government is not prepared to provide necessities to every community in this country should a pandemic strike. Nor do most local governments have a pandemic plan to address the needs of their own communities in such a crisis. It will be up to each individual and family to make their own preparations for a pandemic threat."

Government officials somewhat play down these risks, to prevent panic and financial repercussions, but in the background is intense preparation. They aren't preparing to take care of you, though; they're preparing to take care of their interest, making sure that the government functions.

This is chilling. What will happen in your life if there is a pandemic? Will you go to work? Will the schools close? Will there be food in the stores? Heat? Electricity? Clean water? What if someone in your family gets sick? Some of these are out of our control. But some, you CAN do something about.

Don't wait for the government or the media to tell you what to do. Then it will be too late. Besides, they certainly haven't proven their competence to take care of much of anything. Honestly, there are two kinds of people. Those who line up at the sports stadium, waiting for Uncle Sugar to help them, and those who don't.

Reasonable people should be able to imagine that for weeks that each of us could be "on our own" without gasoline, groceries, water, and power. The idea is frightening, but you can manage, just as they did in days past.

As Americans, we have a tendency to think that bad things only happen in the third world, like the terrible Asian Tsunami. Some think they are above a pandemic or other disaster that could interrupt our supply chain. Are we magically protected from the unthinkable? Of course not.

There are hundreds of thousands of "preppers" who follow disaster planning. They will be on this website, and in the stores, like birds on bugs, grabbing everything in their path. Even worse for the "late shoppers", U.S. Emergency Planning allows the government to immediately enforce statutes to prevent mass purchasing, and they will do it, instantly, with police and National Guard in stores to limit your purchases!

Good luck buying your supply of food to stay inside your home during a pandemic, when a big old cop is standing there to make sure the store manager limits quantities. To complicate further, people in the stores could be infected.

Essential workers in food manufacturing, trucking and delivery, grocery, water and electric utilities, transportation, will go home, either because they are sick or to avoid contagion. Do you think the truck drivers will continue to take your lettuce to the grocery store, or will they go home and "batten down the hatches" to avoid exposure to pandemic flu and to protect their families from hungry intruders?

The electric grid, water company, and other utilities will be in big trouble, almost certain to fail.

Severe social disruption is going to occur when food shortages begin.

Will FEMA come to rescue us? I hope we've learned not to expect that! You need to have a plan now to protect your family. Preparing for swine flu will also prepare you for other possible disasters.

To add a further complication, our government may try to enforce quarantines around cities during a swine flu pandemic. This will slow down the spread of the disease. Unfortunately, this could actually make the pandemic last longer, leaving even more households without food.

Around the world, during disasters, it has been proven time and time again that the official infrastructure collapses during extreme stress. Our natural 'wiring' for survival and family protection rules over the greater good. Our survival instincts keep us alive, as they kept our grandfather, and his grandfather, alive. No one wants to die of a horrible disease for a job, nor do they want to expose their family. However distasteful you find this, it's true. It's chilling to think how easily America could be shut down.

The federal government is telling the states and local communities to make disaster planning a #1 priority! Local communities and state governments will not be able to handle a pandemic or a big disaster, not in a million years. Don't count on a disaster worker coming to your door with food and supplies. It won't happen.

We live on an uncertain planet. A disaster could happen at any time. A bit of self-sufficiency is only common sense.

Please use the "send this site to a friend" button at the bottom of the page to send this site to friends, co-workers, and relatives. The more people who prepare, the better for all of us!

It really isn't so hard when you take it one step at a time. You can keep your family safe and secure from a pandemic, weather disaster, earthquake, or other disaster if you prepare now!
