The WHO will instead now refer to the Smithfield's Swine Flu Virus as H1N1 influenza A.

An Easy Way to Raise the IQ's of 100's of Millions

In India, 500 million (50% of the population) get too little iodine, 54 million have goiter (severe deficiency) and 2 million are cretins due to extreme deficiency.Yet another failure of Indian capitalism to provide for the very basics in human needs in India, and one more reason I support the Maoist revolutionaries in that country.Many other nations have mild deficiencies. I don't know what a mild deficiency does to your IQ, if anything. 16% of the world's population has goiters, which are apparently...
