Pandemic or Factory Farm Fiasco?

If the US flu casualties every year are around 30,000, how does this qualify as a Pandemic?  How many casualties has this caused in the US?  Why was it only identified as a Pandemic once the Canadian case was reported, but not when dozens of Mexicans had already died?

Why is this still being called 'Swine Flu' if it is supposedly a combo of two different strains of Swine Flu, one Human Flu and one Avian flu?  Why has only one suspected case of Avian flu been reported in Mexico?  If this really is a combo, why has the government not given an explanation of how the combo happened?  And how in Mexico?  If the Avian flu has now combined with the Swine and Human, and is now transmittable through respiratory methods, wouldn't this show up in testing?  Why have we not been given proof of this?

Is it not possible that if you have massive open-air vats/lakes full of toxic waste from pigs, which would surely include the Swine Flu virus, that birds flying overhead might have crapped in or died in them, providing the scary combo?  That people nearby already suffering from human flu might have been infected by this through flies and/or groundwater?

Why would the La Gloria people (after having been vaccinated in Decemeber) have been re-vaccinated this spring before the outbreak was claimed, and why would their homes and patios have been fumigated?  What were they vaccinated against, and what were they fumigated with/for?  Everyone knows you do not vaccinate people who are already ill, and you certainly don't expose them to chemicals like fumigations when they're ill.  Could this be the real reason so many of them are dying when the death rate elsewhere is almost nil?  That you don't vaccinate/fumigate 500 people who were already suffering from respiratory disease?  Is it possible they didn't die from the flu, but from not being given antibiotics for their respiratory illness?

As in the Polio vaccine, there's always the possibility of vaccines actually infecting people through the vaccine when using live vaccines.  Is it possible that the Mexican people got a bad "Baxter" vaccine this spring, and that it exacerbated the Swine Flu and respiratory illness they already had?

Logically, does it make more sense that there's some sinister plan to kill off millions of people through manufactured viruses in this case, or is it more plausible that because of greed, American companies moved toxic massive animal factory farms south of the border to avoid environmental responsibility, and to avoid having to pay American minimum wages and healthcare and safety precautions..... and the inevitable happened.  Is it too strange to believe that Swine Flu originated on a Swine farm?  And that all this other 'Pandemic' crap is a coverup for that?  That the owners of that farm were crapping their pants until the Pandemic story got tossed around?

I've noticed that every news report of the Pandemic ends by reassuring people that pork is fine to eat.  How does this figure into the news?  When spouses murder each other, the coverage does not end with the announcer reassuring people that it's still safe to marry.   The fact of the matter is that Swine flu comes from pigs.  If you eat pork, no doubt at some point you have eaten a pig that had Swine flu.  The question then is... if an animal has a virus commonly, that can jump species to humans, does it make sense to vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate, and still risk scares like this, or does it make more sense to retire the species as a food item?

I don't believe this was a purposeful invention- even though it conveniently plays on some people's fear and hatred of illegal aliens.  I believe it was caused by greed, and it will interest me to see who jumps on the 'Pandemic Money Train'. 

I'll also be interested after the whole pandemic thing dies down to see what happens to the people in La Gloria.  Of whether the massive pig farm does anything to clean up it's toxic footprint?  I'm going to guess no.

My biggest question is why over months the 500 people of La Gloria were ignored regarding their respiratory disease, and why when the first couple of children died from it, nobody cared?
