The flying pigs and their flu

It has been a while since we had some good scary stuff going around. Since the “terrorists” are keeping a low profile and the most of the real news is being censored by the major news channels, it has to find some way or another to keep us scared yet entertained. It could be in the form of a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ contestant (which is pretty scary) or we can do some Mexican bashing and point our fingers at the pig flu origin.
This mighty strong version of the flu that will kill everyone in its path is now spreading the world and there is nothing you can do about it. So what is the origin of this Flu? Can we trace it back to another major pharmaceutical company that uses pigs to discover a way to make wrinkles disappear which results in a minor side effect that resulted in the super resistant pig flu virus? Or was it really something dormant in the pigs and swine’s that had nothing to do with human interference/creation of this virus.




Most likely it is another man-made virus, and most likely it is not going to kill you. Why not? Because most of us have an immune system which is very weak, yes I said weak. In order for this virus to kill you, your immune system has to be very strong. To explain this concept I would recommend this video, but to summarize it: The virus enters your body and your immune system goes “WTF? What is this virus doing here? Let me kill it.” The problem is your immune system cannot kill it because the attempts to kill the virus makes it stronger but your immune system does not really know this so it will keep on trying to kill it and kill it and kill it until it just shuts down.

So in other words, don’t worry about this virus. If you really are concerned with your health stop eating food from your super market and start growing your own plants.
