WHO to stop using term 'swine flu' to protect pigs

since it had little to do with pigs,maybe they shouldnt have used that term to start with.

Its a Muslim conspirecy to commit mass genicide on pigs... brought to you by the Berry Bomb

now we must not hurt the pig populations feelings.
humans being racist towards swine.

I agree swine heartedly.

Yes but wouldn't it cause more of a panic to call it swine/avian/human, "hell were not sure" flu?

Too bad the idiots in Egypt already ordered all their pigs killed.

(Well they were really just using that as an excuse to pick on the Christian minority pig farmers anyway.)

Isn't that a funny first sentence:

"The World Health Organization said confirmed swine flu cases rose to 257 worldwide Thursday and announced it will would stop using the term "swine flu" to avoid confusion over the danger posed by pigs."

We have confirmed 257 swine flu cases, but we're not going to use swine flu anymore ... after this time .. but, not tomorrow ... we hope.

How is this going to help? Calling it something different will change what, exactly? The damage is done. They've already have everyone in a frenzy over 257 cases WORLDWIDE. Kind of reminds me of microsoft .. innovation through renaming things.

It's too late. Swine Flu has gotten use to it's name.

What danger posed by pigs? Are there killer pigs on the loose now? Is it an epidemic yet?

It's the Mexican flu, since Mexico is where it started.
It's already being called "Mexican flu" in Israel, Europe, the USA, and South America.

I feel safer already, now that we have bowed to Muslim demands and it the WHO isn't going to call it swine flu. I hope the CDC tells them where to stick it as all the literature has "swine flu".

not when its human flu only and they have no idea if it even originated in hogs

I love a bit of bacon, lol :D

According to the BBC they are doing it to pacify the Jews and Muslims. Why the term swine flu would bother them makes absolutely no sense.

Yet everyone is ignoring the 10,000+ cases of Severe NORMAL flu that is happening right now.

Any theories as to why there has been a concerted effort by the media to cause mass hysteria over a few cases of "call it whatever you want to" flu?

Yes, I wonder that as well.

I had that flu about 6 weeks ago, it sucked. I'm a healthy person and it kicked my a**.

WTF were Egyptian Muslims doing raising Pigs?...

Gotta love 'em tho...

Kill them little oinkers...

Wonder if they 'suicide murdered' them...
