It appears the CDC is in cahoots with the globalists. For any of you with any modicum of common sense left...doesn't it stand to reason that ANY flu would make a pregnant woman more vulnerable? And since the regular flu kills approximately 32,000 people each year and the swine flu has only killed about 500, you have to ask yourself why the big to do. Facts about the new swine flu vaccine include: It's never been tested and yet they want to give it to kids and pregnant women? What's wrong with that picture? Google what went wrong with the last swine flu vaccine back around 1979 and find out how many people died or got seriously ill after having taken it. Also, officials have already come right out and said that the virus has probably already mutated and the vaccine they have for it is basically worthless. The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine. Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

Please, my friends. She is simply a world-person about to give life to a new potential human. Curtail your disparaging remarks (unless they're about the failures of George Bush).

Perhaps she is from the Latina communities on vacation...a world traveller....

We are giving her an opportunity for hope and change that she may not have. The strength of the USA is founded upon a legacy of immigrants. She may be about to give birth to the next Einstein. Clearly, the baby is going to have a huge capacity to learn given its large size.

Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can!!!

What a sad commentary the above blogs are about our nation's intelligence. Everyone's going on about a picture of a pregnant woman -- that may or may not even be Photoshopped -- while our esteemed government is telling pregnant women to take a vaccine that's never been tested. Interesting when doctors tell pregnant women they shouldn't even take asprin for a headache. WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The immigrants I'm a product of paid their taxes and worked hard to build a modest, educated family. Not an unmarried, most likely illegal, uneducated mother using free healthcare, who already has a pile of kids because her religion (My religion) doesn't support birth control. Wake up there aren't unlimited resources and if you’re so inclined to think so then you can move to Mexico and have it your way.

I heard that a pregnant woman died today of swine flu at Marin General Hospital. Let's see if it is
reported.

On KGO radio today there was a news report that 13 percent of all swine flu deaths in California have been pregnant women. That is quite a different
population than seasonal flu. Also, the median age
of the total deaths from swine flu is 28 years old.
Also quite different from regular flu.
