Navy Ships Under Swine Flu Quarantine

(AP)  A group of Navy ships is under quarantine after several dozen sailors and Marines on board tested positive for swine flu.

Health officials say at least 69 people had been confirmed with the virus, and all of them have since recovered.

Navy officials say they are now quarantining an undetermined number of crew members with flulike symptoms on four ships that are part of the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, which arrived in Hawaii on Friday. The ships are docked at or near Pearl Harbor.

Thousands of sailors and Marines from the ships are currently on leave in Hawaii, but Cmdr. Dora Lockwood says no one with flulike symptoms has been allowed to go on shore.

A spokeswoman for the state Health Department says it has been notified of the outbreak.

notacomrade: I would quit listening to desprate housewives unless its on CBS or whatever channel.
Highlander, You need to get out from in front of your computer and embrace some real life. Is it hard being the only person on this earth that is right?
Noid57 your about as bad.
Proudmilvet... you are correct that the labs onboard are good to go. Fully CLEA certified. The Flu PCR tests were run at a lab out of San Diego.

There are no, and were no "quarintine" of ships.

Nomoresecretsplz: 1. Naval Soldiers? do some research.. its Sailors. 2. Your "source" is completely wrong. 3. Cute rundown on the make up of a vaccine, can you do tylenol next?

Bparrish55... All of the H1N1 infected crew (less than 10% of the ships population) recovered, nobody was seriously ill. No fatalities were onboard. Back you claim up with data (not some random website) or stop wasting my time.

Find out the real story that I heard on alternative radio on the 25th of September...Stop trusting the mainstream media liars PLEASE!

The CBS story above is missing very important details.

I guess the Navy didn't mention that the VACCINE "WAS" the pandemic!!! They are trying to silence the Navy wives. The vaccine was given to the crew and THEN they got sick. Get it right CBS!!!
Subject: Vital data about US Navy results of swine flu vaccine on ship

Data gleaned indirectly from anonymous testimony of Navy wives of the affected crew via the internet radio show A Marine Disquisition :

1. Unnamed US Navy vessel put to sea in April with 347 man crew.
2. Entire crew was vaccinated with H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine shortly after they put to sea.
3. Crew sickened so severely that other ships had to respond to render aid. 16 Medical Dr.s put aboard from an unnamed aircraft carrier and other responding vessels. Total of 50 Navy personnel sent aboard to respond to crisis.
4. Two of the crew of 347 died - including the Captain of the ship (a Lieutenant Commander) and a Chief Petty Officer.
5. 50 personnel sent aboard to help are quarantined in Navy hospital in Balboa, Spain after 10 of them caught the flu from the ship's crew. Two of the 50 quarantined are in serious condition at last report.
6. Of the 347 man crew that were vaccinated, 333 contracted the H1N1 flu FROM THE VACCINE. Two died, as mentioned above, and 331 survived. Only 14 of the 347 vaccinated sailors did not show any ill effects from the vaccine.
7. Navy has threatened all the spouses of the ship's crew to remain silent - claiming all this information is classified. Some are whistle-blowing and that is where this information is coming from.
8. On the unnamed aircraft carrier that provided assistance, 415 sailors contracted the swine flu and are currently quarantined onboard.

It pays to investigate all sides of an issue to know the truth behind the scenes.
Research from Dr. Mercola's website: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/26/Flu-Vaccine-Exposed.aspx
gives an improved perspective on the swine flu and vaccinations.
The wife to one of the sick naval soldiers aboard one of the quarantined ships stated that everyone aboard her husband's ship received a swine flu vaccination (it must have been a live virus). They were guinea pigs to increase the swine flu scare.

As a RN who has a friend that works in vaccination production (she scoffs at any benefits derived from flu vaccinations d/t inabililty to keep up with the mutations), I'd rather work on my immune system rather than take an injection filled with thermerosal In addition to mercury, flu vaccines also contain other toxic or hazardous ingredients:

"According to the CDC, the majority of flu vaccines contain thimerosal. Some contain as much as 25 mcg of mercury per dose. This means that it may contain more than 250 times the Environmental Protection Agency?s safety limit for mercury.

?Aluminum -- a neurotoxin that has been linked to Alzheimer?s disease

?Triton X-100 -- a detergent

?Phenol (carbolic acid)

?Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)

?Betapropiolactone - a disinfectant

?Nonoxynol - used to kill or stop growth of STDs

?Octoxinol 9 - a vaginal spermicide

?Sodium phosphate
Serious reactions to the flu vaccine include, but are not limited to:

?Life-threatening allergies to various ingredients

?Guillain-Barre Syndrome (a severe paralytic disease that is fatal in about 1 in 20 cases) (A clergy announced over the pulpit that AFTER a flu vaccination he became deathly sick ~as those on board these naval vessels~ AND his mother developed Guillain-Barre after her flu injection.

?Encephalitis (brain inflammation)

?Neurological disorders

?Thrombocytopenia (a serious blood disorder)

This episode will be an excuse to vaccinate the entire military. Next will come all school children; all health care workers; and just about everyone else who is not in a position to say NO.

However bad this flu may be, there is no proof that vaccinations will prevent it. These vaccines have not even been fully tested. A boon for the pharmaceutical industry, but of little value to the rest of us.

The ships (4 of them) have been quarantined for weeks. What CBS isn't telling anyone is that all got the flu from the vaccinations.

So they all recovered from the swine flu, but the vaccine they recieved has done it's job as a bio-weapon?

[bparrish55]

What you have failed to report is that this ship's captain and chief petty officer have died and that the entire ship were guinea pigs for a live H1N1 vaccine. It should infuriate the American people that military personnel have no say in being able to accept or refuse medical treatment, especially if it is questionable. Print the whole truth, CBS!

Ok.....I see that there is one person who "thinks outside the corporate cage" and another person is well educated but not seeing the big picture. Just to make this real short and simple because it does not require a lot of thinking, the government wants to use this Swine Flu panic as a means to vaccinate as many people as possible, who benefits from this? Just ask the lobbyist for big pharma and you'll get your answer. That's right, this is about money and control. Proudvet, haven't you noticed that when you watch television, all you see is drug commercials for just about everything. Haven't you noticed that our food does not contain the proper vitamins and nutrition which results in more sickness and disease because of deficiency. Have you noticed that diseases like diabetes and cancer are still around and there' no cure for either, only treatments (common sense- they make more money from people being sick than if they would if they wipe the diseases out) Have you noticed that President Obama has lied on just about everything he said he was going to do during his campaign? And by the way, no I'm not a Democrat or a Republican or Libertarian or part of any other political party. I am an American who does not let the television think for me (that's what us so-called conspiracy theorists do, we think for ourselves instead of being programmed. I think Highlander knows what he's talking about more than you'll ever understand. Maybe if you look beyond the television and stop looking at things from a liberal vs conservative prospective then you'll agree. It's not about left vs right, it's about a bunch of people who are hell bent on destroying this great republic that we live in. What does all this have to do with the swine flu? Try typing population control on your google search engine and read about the plans that these people have to get rid of 80 percent of the world's population. I think you'll be quite surprised by what you see but I warn you.....once you find the truth, that life is not what you thought it was, and that all you really are is a debt slave to the government (read about the federal reserve if you don't understand) then you will understand why all the fear mongering and panic that our media creates.

Also,as far as the Navy's Medical & Laboratory capabilities are concerned, you probably have no idea what you are talking about! I Served in the Navy for 10 years as a Hospital Corpman, before becoming a Registered Nurse & serving for 10 years in the Army Reserve & Retiring as a Major. All Large Navy Ships have a complete array of Medical,Surgical,Laboratory,Dental,& Pharmacological Services.Just as good & in some cases better than many civilian Hospitals. Next time do yourself a favor & know what you are talking about before you make a complete Horses A## of yourself!!
