SANTA CLARA COUNTY (BCN) — Santa Clara County officials are declaring a local state of emergency due to the H1N1 swine flu virus.
The Board of Supervisors additionally allocated $500,000 toward flu emergency response.
Officials said there have been 155 hospitalizations and eight deaths due to the swine flu in Santa Clara County between April 3 and Sept. 15.
“The Board’s declaration of emergency will enable us to put needed resources in place to respond to what is likely to be a flu season that will impact our entire community,” County Executive Jeff Smith said in a prepared statement.
Officials said they have seen increased incidences of the H1N1 virus in the county in the last few weeks, as well as greater numbers of people coming to hospitals with flu-like illness, and greater absenteeism in some schools.
The county Public Health Department is preparing to distribute the H1N1 vaccine, as well as antiviral medications, to try to limit the spread of the virus, officials said.

Flu shots = money, not safety. Unfortunately, what is little understood by the general public is that the only reason people die from the flu is that they have either an immune suppressing chronic illness, such as diabetes, direct immune dysfunction, dietary deficiencies of critical immune-supporting nutrients, chronic pulmonary disease, heart disease or cancer.

Are these Flu cases due to the flu or do to the Vaccine itself?
Thanks Doc. Thats how it seems to me also. This vaccine seems to be hurting more than its helping.
I do not plan to take the vaccine myself as nobody can promise me that it’s safe. Vaccination is a medical intervention performed on a HEALTHY person that has the ability to result in injury or death of that person! I do not want any medicine that could kill me when I’m not sick. That makes no sense to me. The flu at least I know is relatively safe and won’t permanently damage me! -Dr. Jake
Well unfortunately there are moves being made to make the vaccine mandatory with fines for refusal and forced quarantine in ‘concentration’ style camps rather than self quarantine at home.
I won’t go to one of those either. :-)
