THE director of public health for Stoke-on-Trent Dr Giri Rajaratnam, will today brief Stoke-on-Trent City councillors on the swine flu pandemic.

Across the UK, 82 deaths have been linked to the virus, with 70 in England, nine in Scotland, one in Wales and two in Northern Ireland.

New data from the Government also showed the number of swine flu cases across the country almost doubled in a week, from about 5,000 to 9,000 last week.

Dr Rajaratnam will give a 10-minute presentation to councillors at this morning's Local Strategic Partnership meeting.

    “This report claims that 82 people in the UK have died from swine flu since the pandemic started. It would be interesting to know how this number of fatalities compares to deaths over the same period from cancer, heart attacks, pneumonia, road accidents etc. That would put the pandemic in perspective.”

    “I don't know anyone who's caught the "swine flu.I don't know anyone that knows anyone who's caught the "swine flu".
    How can there be a pandemic?

    It's all looking like a big con to get us to take their toxic "vaccine",all part of the Malthusian global population reduction agenda.

    Our elected representatives are trying to sell us out for twenty pieces of silver.”
