INTRO
We established CUBIT as a major solution for addressing biothreats that are for both human, animal, and food-level problems, and that is one encompassing technology, architecture, and system of procedures, processes, and products.
We established CRAIDO to focus on emergent, new, and epidemic/pandemic level infectious diseases in mainly the human, food, and wild-animal populations.
We established CHIPS in particular because of the need for enhancing and helping People hospitals, clinics, physicians, and health depts. with information, networking, and connection-making, almost like a matchmaker service in some ways, but also with the personal element of phone, email, and chat, for getting people at-risk or infected, or near to infected or at-risk people, to the right resources, ASAP.
For all of this the best online resource is http://chips.tetradyn.net, with mirrors and extra sites set up as listed below at the bottom of this posting.
The Meat of the Matter
Now, here are some facts, and here is what is sadly “amazing” and here is what we can all do together about it.
(1)
From all indicators, public and private, from all news sources, and from diverse types of groups, we see that a large percentage, perhaps 50% or more, of persons who are seriously at-risk because of other medical conditions, chronic or acute, respiratory or otherwise, age-wise, pregnancy-wise, are NOT seeking medical care or advice, either behavior or during cases of themselves or some person(s) close to them (especially children) being sick with H1N1 or what to them, as non-medical specialists, could be H1N1.
This is something that must change, folks! Yes, the doctors, clinics, hospitals, health depts. are overworked, but you must be attending to your conditions and pre-conditions.
You MUST plan ahead, be pro-active, be preventive.
We have given you what some say is among the best simple, clear documents about this, at http://tetradyn.com/practical-guide-h1n1-prevention-care.pdf (or http://tetradyn.com/practical-guide-h1n1-prevention-care.doc) and it is in multiple places on different mirror-like sites and by direct request.
You MUST do things to take care of yourself and your loved ones. There IS professional medical and social-service care available, there will be, and it is your right, and no one will refuse you.

There is an incredible amount of hype, charlatanry, cheating, misinformation, and Rumor going around and seemingly, getting bigger and stronger each day.
Please take it from us, from people who are NOT part of any high-ranking government echelon, and who know everything about misinformation, disinformation, and similar things that can be done and that, especially in some other countries and their pasts, many such countries, were actually done. This is not going on like some people are saying with their conspiracy theories and scare-talk. There is no solid evidence for such.
YOU DO NOT HAVE SOME BIG CONSPIRACY OR MISINFORMATION PROJECT GOING ON IN THE USA OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES NOW ABOUT H1N1 and related pandemic and public health problems. There is not huge plot or conspiracy, period, zippo.
But some very vocal people are spreading these conspiracy and lie stories around, especially through the internet, and it is having a bad effect, in some cases costing lives or at least undue serious illness, risk of death, and suffering, to a growing number of families and children.

I am telling you, and everyone at TETRADYN and with in the CUBIT Working Group consortium which is made up mainly of doctors, scientists, nurses, legal professionals, teachers, parents, and (by the way) with a lot of people who can be classed as politically conservative, and working-class, and down-to-earth, and also with open Christian and other spiritual values and morals —- we are all simply saying that:
(A) There is a definite pandemic, it is going on, and it will be bigger as the weeks and months go on
(B) There is definitely no need for Panic - not now, not ever. Panic never improved anything for anyone, ever.
(C) There is definitely need for pro-active, preventive, avoidance action that you can do in many forms, and these include without spending a dime, without going to a doctor’s office or clinic, too.
(D) There is a vaccine that is short-in-supply but worth considering for many specific groups on the population. This vaccine is not showing any signs, beyond that which must be expected and accepted - Rare Instances of side-effects and bad reactions, Rare, and simply unavoidable - and this vaccine is an effective thing for most young children, pregnant women, and persons at-high-risk because of various pre-conditions, especially respiratory or with weakened (for whatever reasons) immune systems.
(E) I am not planning to get the vaccine but not because I fear it at all. I know my body, my immune system, my care system, and that vaccine is more important to be available to a child, a pregnant woman, or someone with HIV, emphysema, diabetes, COPD, or several other exacerbating conditions.
(F) There are some people and small groups that are simply “rapid” in their rants and fomenting of misinformation about conspiracy theories and the harm of the vaccine. These people must be countered strongly by You, in the web and net, in the formal media and press. They are harming people with their misinformation. We have even received some very nasty and even threatening emails from a few of them.
(G) Yes, admittedly, without any question, we do have a huge problem with our government and with the mega-ultra bureaucracy and lobbyist-driven special interest groups and cheating that has gone on. This is not new and it is not only in the healthcare arena. This does not and should not reflect on the many very qualified, dedicated, sensible, loval doctors and other professionals in organizations like CDC, NIH, DHHS, WHO, even DHS, and many state and local health, safety and emergency response depts.
If anyone is to blame within the “government” it is those who are refusing to give grants and even small funds and contracts to organizations and groups, both for-profit and non-profit, both private and public, like ours, like TETRADYN, for simple and economical solutions, that span from the diagnostic and testing to the informatic and non-pharmaceutical. Yes, there is corruption and it seems all come from greed, avarice, and the “herd instinct” nor not wanting to do anything that is not all set, all “covered” politically.

More is being done that is wasteful by companies like Lockheed-Martin, SAIC, SRA, Northrop-Grumman, Booz-Allen Hamilton, than by the pharma companies which are, after all, Producing Vaccines and Medicines!!! More $$$$ has been wasted on needless, useless, dysfunctional “IT” systems that could have been spent in the past on medicines, vaccines, and public information, not only with the mobile CRAIDO lab/information trailers but with giving simple door-to-door information by flyers carried by currently unemployed Americans!
We have seen millions - $$$$$$ millions of dollars, spent on totally useless and inane reports, studies, assessments, recommendations, that are nothing more than repetitions of things written in the last several years, or in the 1990’s, or even as far back as the 1970’s!
(5)
I sometimes complain about actual plagiarism of my writings by people in some of the above-listed companies, and some “committees and “subcommittees” within various government bureaucracies, but “Gee, Whiz!” - they are plagiarizing from others left and right, including themselves, and just reusing words and phrases and paragraphs for no apparent reason other than to have “reports” and “recommendations” that are “politically correct,” “safe from some future legal prosecution for saying the “wrong” thing (the coyer-your-ass and herd instinct syndromes at work), and because it is easier and cheaper than hiring real experts (like us) to do something new and appropriate.
I do say “Shame on You” to those who have done so and continue to do so, including some of the people responsible for producing the “National Biosurveillance Advisory Subcommittee” report. That document says basically nothing new and for the most part goes on and on, ad nauseum, listing the credentials of a lot of “prominent” individuals, lists the various special committees, chapters, and sub-groups they have formed to “study” the matter, and then, in their scant few pages of a “recommendation”, they basically say in plain-english that what this country should have had, and should have and must have, is exactly what WE have produced - CUBIT, CRAIDO, VSRB, MADIT, CHIPS. (also see http://cubit.tetradyn.com)
I do say “Thanks, Great, Well-done, and Let’s Work More together” to those who are involved in the “Race to Resilience” project, and at many state and local health departments - especially NJ, NY, OK, CA, CO, TX, AL, TN, NC, SC, GA, just to name a few - who have been trying to do what we are doing, and who are in communication with us.
I do say, “Come on, quit being so cold and stand-offish about working together with us, and accept our free and almost-free offers,” to Ms. Marilyn Tavenner (Sec’y of Health and Social Services in Virginia), to Gov. Tim Kaine (Virginia), to Anthony Conyers (Comm. for the Dept. of Social Services, Virginia), because here is one state (your state, Virginia!) with a heck of a lot of H1N1 and pandemic and social-service problems, here we have some of our people right here or nearby, and here with Virginia is the one state government that has thus far refused to even talk with us and similar groups offering help. I think these individuals and their administrative staff have a responsibility - and could be held responsible - if Virginians end up really suffering needlessly from H1N1 as well as other public health and also food-related bio-problems.

We need more collaboration. We need less “political correctness” fretting and worrying. We need more acceptance of volunteer and/or low-cost, economical solutions and offers from companies and organizations, by the local, county, state and federal agencies.
But most of all we need You, the People, to be doing things pro-actively, sensibly, simply, to protect you and your families, and to Get Professional Medical Attention and Care when you are at the Beginning of the signs and symptoms of needing it, for anyone in yor family or special care!
The vaccine cannot protect everyone. It is not a “poison” but there is simply not enough of it, period. The medicines are in limited supply. But YOU have brains and means to be doing things, which we have tried our best to summarize in simple language, at the websites listed below, and these things are either free or low-cost, and they offer zero risk if you read and follow our simple advice.
CONCLUSIONS and WEBSITES
1. Use your Brains! You are smarter than you think!
2. Use your Resources around you - people, our stuff, others’, your own fingers and eyes and ears.
3. Watch your kids and other at-risk people especially, carefully - they are the only ones you have, and they - your loved ones - are the reason for your existence, whatever else your ego tells you.
4. Help people like us in whatever ways you can that you feel are appropriate and good - financial, media/press/PR, legal, volunteering, working on the CRAIDO unit assemblies, writing, driving, whatever you can.
5. Do not listen to the hate-mongers and fear-mongers.
6. Never, ever Panic. Do your best to lower your stress. (Look at me! Without meds or special additives, I brought my blood pressure and pulse down so that I can get off from a hard bicycle ride (everyone knows I know only one speed - Fast), walk a few minutes and take a pressure/pulse reading and come off, in my 50’s, with 122/84 and 116.
We are all different, but the Mind and Spirit is the Key, and Mind and Spirit are all about Community, and Love, especially the Agape, Philia, and Storge aspects (we don’t need the Eros part, here).

and for those who want to help with even small, modest financial support, contact us - either to be directed to an established, Recognized, Bona Fide 501c(3) charitable organization that may use our ecOasis-type PodLabs, or about investments in ways that can help get this work “On the Road”:
You can talk with us about money and finance in any of these terms:
(a) Contributions that will get tax credits as charitable contributions to the Institute for Innovative Study (IIS) once its 501c(3) status is finalized, so thus, usable probably in 2010 adjusted returns for deductions
(b) Loans, both secured and unsecured
(c) Investments into TETRADYN, the company
(d) Simply donations because we are doing all of this, thus far, without one dime of income or government support - this is if you want to, and with full disclosure and openness about everything we are doing and can do.
Thank You Each and All for Reading and Thinking and Doing.
