The first government study on the pediatric toll from the swine flu shows deaths are more common in school age children than in younger kids. Normally, half or more of the children who die from flu are age 4 and younger.

I thought they said older people were more resistant. Their sample size is statistically insignificant and 36,000 flu deaths / year is BS because it includes pneumonia. The vaccine for pregnant women and babies is especially irresponsible. What do expect from the gov't that lied about Iraq, wants a repeat with Iran (following whose orders? - wake up), has just about done away with the Constitution, is (has?) bankrupted the country and so on.

What a JOKE all of this is and I'm so sick and tired of hearing about it! More people, especially the elderly and those with weakened immune systems die from the REGULAR flu each year (e.g. those with already underlying medical conditions, as we've seen from those who have died from this supposed swine flu...hello?) Obviously if you have a weakened immune system, etc. you are going to be more susceptible to diseases and such. And I do believe that the people in Onondaga county who died from this 'flu' were older, (not saying elderly or otherwise), but I'm sure they weren't teenagers or toddlers, so this study in my opinion is a farce. I have so much more to say on this but I can't right now...I've had more than ENOUGH of Government/New World Order control and that's all this is...they created this AND the 'pandemic', for a reason and on purpose.
