Re:Obese Exposed as Swine Flu Collides With Fat Epidemic by onreact-com on Friday July 10, 2009 @05:32PM (#698436)
"So far, the evidence is anecdotal. No global or national data have been reported." In other words: There is NO evidence that there is a connection between obesity and swine flu. Like it's more deadly cousin, the seasonal flu (thousands of people die every year of it) the hyped swine flu "pandemic" is more severe and dangerous for people who are weaker. Carrying too much weight around makes you weaker obviously like other illnesses, being a child or elderly.

I hope Roche has soon sold out their Tamiflu so all the "viral marketing" stops.
