Swine flu alert! News/Death ratio: 8176


During the last 13 days, up to May 6, WHO has confirmed that 25 countries are affected by Swine flu and 31 persons have died from Swine flu. WHO data indicates that about 60 000 persons died from TB during the same period. By a rough comparison with the number of news reports found by Google news search, Hans Rosling calculates a News/Death ratio and issue an alert for a media hype on Swine flu and a neglect of tuberculosis.

    Is that really so surprising? Tuberculosis is understood and accepted as a virus. Tuberculosis Tuberculosis Tuberculosis, Going on and on about it won’t make it go away. Swine flu, on the other hand, had just swept through the world in a matter of days. No one was quite sure what would happen and the potential for Apocalypse has been a favorite human talking point since time immemorial; and Media’s is an industry of talking. Hypothesis: Do the comparison now and there won’t be such a disparity.

    There are misses in this. Not at the same year did these diseases break out, therefore I believe that we have 250 000 more media-reporting-companies now then back when tuberculosis was at it’s peak. You have to see how many of all media that reported and not how many reports there are/were. Back in the days there weren’t many different papers but lots more people read the only ones available. -> I do agree with you on the matter though, the media today is quite terrible.

    You seem to miss the facts that
    1) this was a take on the media coverage
    2) This was posted back in May in the very very early stages of the new flu.

    Ignorance? Ignorance of what? This is statistics that should make you see the bigger picture.

    The Swin flu is utterly contageous but Tubeculosis is much less. You do not give any vaccine for Tuberculosis because the decease barely exist in Sweden but you do for swine flu, because it is an emerging decease and that is the big difference. This Guy leaves out some of the most important information. Ignorance? Yes!

    The reason H1N1 is reported on a lot is that it is emerging. The reason that TB is not is because its the same as it was roughly a year ago.

    News reports change, not relevance.

    The % of mercury in fish wouldn’t change with how much fish you are talking about.

    So do you mean % or do you mean amount?

    Thanks for the video contribution – great stuff!! All the BigPharma bosses should get their first injections of the Hfuck1N1 vaccines into their anal glands and the syringe stuck up their ass. I don’t want to end up like a Kenntucky Fucking Chicken.

    He doesn’t say that you shouldn’t get the vaccin. I think it’s good that there is a vaccin for swine flu. But the media hype of the disease is way out of propotion. That’s what the clip is about.

    What should happen to a sick and twisted person who molests a 3 year old child? The answers on my channel to this will shock you!

    The video is called “Molester molests 3 year old infant”

    Every day I get some of the most interesting comments. What do you think should happen to the guy who did this to this three year old infant?

    WARNING: some of the comments are extremely graphic in nature and may not be suitable for everyone. This is certainly a VERY heated and passionate topic.

    Fucking uninformed tinfoil wearing mediawhore, you should be injected with H1A1 instead of the vaccine, just so you could make an opinionated youtube video of how much of a scam it is.

    Actually you’re wrong. Most cases of swinflue is not as bad as normal flu, the symptoms are not as bad as all. I’m pretty happy i got hit by the swinflu instead of regular flu to be honest.

    swine flu can kill ‘perfectly rich healthy people’ but whos to say they didnt already have something like tuberculosis and then when caught swine flu, they died? i no a few people who’ve had swine flu and said it was just like normal flu, in bed for about 5 days then fine, so as the video shows, its just the media hyping it up
