I am a mother of a soldier who is currently at fort dix.
They have a large outbreak of Swine Flu there now.
Last night he told me that there were at least 62 in quarentine and that
the barricks was locked down because thats where it was and has been
sinch MARCH 2009!!!
I see nothing of this in the news. My question that I would like answered is this:
Why did the army send my son to fort dix to train for him to be deployed in August
if they knew that there was swine flu there?
Could they not have sent them to a different fort?

Look you`ve got your facts wrong ,, I was at Fort Dix and they were forceing all recruits starting in the month of Oct 75 to take an expermintal vaccine for Swine Flu ,, and there was one death in Oct – Nov 75 which they claimed to be because of the flu ,, the guy died of a massive brain hemorrhage ,, i was there ,, i know what killed him and its wasnt the swine flu ,,

Now there is a “new” swine flu outbreak. So far 7 people have been affected in the US. There is another
more dangerous strain in Mexico and may have crossed into the US. In June 07 there was research into
new bio-weapons. In 1918 there was a flu pandemic that killed tens of millions. Could we be looking
at a “Captain Tripp”?

Completely fortuitous! I am purposely staying away from polio this
week. As for FDR and whether he had polio or Guillain-Barré, we'll
never know the answer – but it would certainly be amazing if he didn't
actually have the disease he helped conquer!

Interesting (given the polio-heavy postings last week) that the Wikipedia entry linked to above describing Guillain-Barre syndrome includes a reference to a paper that questions whether FDR's paralysis was actually caused by Guillain-Barre and not paralytic poliomyelitis. (I had not heard this suggested before).
