16 Children Have Died In The Past Week Of Swine Flu

Health officials report that 16 children have died of the swine flu virus this past week. This is more evidence how dangerous the Swine flu virus when it comes to children. The regular flu kills between 45 and 90 Children every year. The swine flu is increasing all across the country, more deaths are likely, Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a press conference on Friday. she noted that 37 states have reported widespread cases of Swine Flu up from 27 a week ago. the preliminary report stated the the virus leveling off and decreasing in some areas of the country, that did not turn out to be a enduring trend. We are seeing more illness, more hospitalizations, and more deaths said Schuchat who head the CDC's National Center Of Immunization and Respiratory Disease. Health officials also said more data is trickling in from several clinical trails of the new vaccine and so far no serious side effects have been reported. Preliminary information from one study indicated that both the seasonal flu shot and Swine flu shot are effective when given during the same doctor's visit. The Nasal spray contained weakened, live virus, and the government does not have data on how a person immune system to the exposure at the same time, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director Of The National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases. The CDC does not have a exact count of all Swine Flu Death and Hospitalizations, but existing reports suggest the infection has caused more than 600 deaths and more that 6,000 hospitalizations since it was first identified in April. Finally, this maybe a scare tactic by the CDC to get Americans to take the Swine Flu shot. There is not enough empirical evidence that the Swine Flu shot is safe enough and will not cause side effects in the future for the American people.
