The flu, whether it is swine or not, is a serious viral disease. It can leave disabling sequelae and is potentially fatal. Current procedures are not known to be effective for treatment or prevention. There are no virucidal drugs available on the market, nor do any safe, efficient and cheap prophylactic measures exist. Previously healthy children who have influenza during the first year of life are at risk of developing serious illness such as cardiac arrhythmia, early neonatal death, sudden death, gastrointestinal bleeding and death.
The Influenza A virus infection is a significant cause of hospitalization for febrile seizures in children in China. Underlying chronic disease increases this risk further. Infection with influenza virus during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage with preterm contractions, fetal and neonatal distress and schizophrenia in the fetus in adulthood.
The flu is treated as if it were only a respiratory disease and in acute phase, but there is the chronic phase (no one speaks about it) and non-respiratory complications: dementia, epilepsy, cerebrovascular diseases, febrile seizures, toxic encephalopathy, encephalitis, meningitis, hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage (below the meninges), lethargic encephalitis, psychosis, increased number of cases of Parkinson's disease, viral and bacterial pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis (muscle destruction), pulmonary thromboembolism.
Given this fact, influenza in the chronic phase may have far greater important social, economic and political impact during pandemics. Influenza viruses have been implicated as the central problem among viruses. The swine influenza virus H1N1 was presented to the world as a terrible killer, causing a devastating pandemic that has not happened. But blaming and turning H1N1 into a bloodthirsty killer caused panic and mass hysteria that yielded billions of dollars to drug companies (1), which would have amounted to a loss if the stocks of anti-influenza drugs, close to maturity, would have to have been trashed.
