Malaysia confirms 1st swine flu death this year

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia's government has confirmed the country's first death linked to swine flu in nearly half-a-year.

Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai says the 22-year-old woman died of respiratory problems at a hospital Sunday after testing positive for the H1N1 virus.

The minister's statement Tuesday did not give details of how she had been infected.

It was Malaysia's first death linked to the virus since September. It brings the country's swine flu fatalities to 78.

Drugs are not the answer and a great deal of people profited out of their push for vaccines. Indeed because the virus is constantly mutating, they make drugs constantly impotent and where vaccines are constantly circumvented making them useless.
Ab Osterhaus, Declan Butler and Nature Magazine supported by others are all culpable in wanting the drug companies to sell billions of dollars worth of worthless swine flu/bird flu drugs. The European Union (EU) are currently investigating the motives behind the vast purchase of these drugs. They are all friends of the large pharmaceuticals. What they did not want to see was the alternative strategy to emerge of addressing the global threat at source.

For the only way to stop bird flu/Swine flu et al indefinitely is to address the problem at source and never let it happen in the first place. It is the only way.

Otherwise it will one day come back with a vengeance and wipe out a quarter of humanity. The Spanish Flu that killed up to 100 million (a Swine flu variant) will then be seen as the minor event in the world’s history of global pandemics.

Funny how money always rises above human life itself !
