Upside Down

For those hearing what is going on in the USA from the US media and government, take it all in with an extreme amount of skepticism. This isn’t a political statement but a neutral observation. As you will see, my 8 yr old daughter can see the blatant holes in what is being pushed. It is that completely lacking of common sense. Perhaps it is her Filipino blood, what Filipino doesn’t see corruption when they’ve grown up seeing it?

I won’t go into too much detail because there is so much of it. Generally, you can assume what is being said by the current US media and government to be the opposite of the truth. I will not say which you can trust as they all have their biases and goals. I will say you should turn to basic common sense that an 8-year-old has and only accept statements backed up with solid information.

What do I mean solid information? I mean data that has been taken from a lot of samples, been tested extensively, and has no political slant. We can’t trust what is being told us and we can’t even trust the data unless those presenting it can show exactly where they got it all from and how they got it so others can duplicate it. i.e. Follow the data (collected correctly) to where it may leads and not try to force data to meet our opinions.

That said, let me give a few examples. I’ll touch on the Swine Flu or the H1N1 virus, the latest global warming stuff, and an example of what is currently being promoted as a means of more jobs in the US economy.

First, the swine flu or the H1N1 virus gets the first tidbit on it. You have probably heard of the “horrible pandemic” that was going to infect many millions and kill multitudes if you didn’t get your vaccine shot now! ( I also got tired of people asking if I am going to get my FLU shot and H1N1 vaccine kasi daw I am buntis!) Read through this highly detailed piece from doctors about it.

Summary: The H1N1 is a mild bug that has a low rate of infection and low rate of killing people. The vast majority of the numbers are pure guesswork as they quit testing and assumed everyone had it as of August 30, 2009. The vaccine is posing to be a far greater risk than the flu bug.

On a personal note, all three of us had the swine flu or the symptoms that are said to go with it. We didn’t bother to go to the doctors to find out. We did what you always do when you have the flu. Wash your hands when you are healthy and stay home when you are sick. The headache was a major pain but the whole thing was rather tame for a couple of days then it passed. Or as my daughter says about this:

“Those people are nuts. They aren’t using their brain. It wasn’t that bad. Na Krong-Krong na!”
