The WHO are announcing 7 dead from swine flu, however, Mexican authorities are claiming up to 150 as of this morning, Melbourne time. Is this to stem the fear - WHO is a very reputable body however they have some terrible skeletons in there closet - see lead poisoning in Russia article on this weeks Dateline. I think over the coming years, as we in the western world confront more diseases indirectly caused by global warming, people will begin to voice public concern with the WHO and their strategies. In some places in the world when mothers hear WHO are coming to vaccinate their village they hide their children away. We call this ignorance but as no one is documenting these procedures. how do we know the rate of death, the amount of information available to parents in remote areas of the developing world.
