Former United Nations ambassador Susan Rice, slated to become the Domestic Policy Council chief if Joe Biden assumes the White House next month, is warning that COVID-19 outbreak “is not the big one” and that a future pandemic could be worse. “In the Obama administration, as I said, we had the 2009 swine flu; we had the Ebola epidemic that could have been a global pandemic; we had the Zika virus, as you'll remember, so we were very prime to this risk. We knew that we hadn't had the big one,” Rice said during a virtual event organized by Stevenson...

President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday called on Americans not to gather with extended families for Thanksgiving, saying it was a “patriotic duty” to limit the spread of COVID-19. “This year we are asking Americans to forgo so many of the traditions that we’ve long made this holiday,” Biden said.

This is an amazing piece of work and an utterly enlightening video. 45 minutes long. You will need to watch it closely with all the graphs, news article clippings & periods where you’ll read print. It is worth it.

Cuomo, Phil Murphy, Dr. Rachel Levine and other Democrat governors are saying to not have large or even small Thanksgiving this year as Coronavirus cases continue to soar. But during the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic they saw things differently and you were allowed to enjoy the holiday season. Sleepy Joe having Thanksgiving with 15 strangers during H1N1 after Brack called for a national emergency. Sleepy Joe giving the blessing. From: DR. JILL BIDEN NOVEMBER 24, 2009 AT 11:50 AM ET On October 24, and the CDC said more than 1,000 had died from the flu. President Obama declared a...

THE VILLAGES, Florida — Vice President Mike Pence told Breitbart News over the weekend that, after Democrat presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden oversaw 60 million Americans getting infected with swine flu—H1N1—America cannot trust Biden to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. Pence, who had just wrapped a rally with several thousand supporters here on Saturday, sat down with Breitbart News aboard his and President Donald Trump’s campaign bus for a lengthy exclusive interview before flying back to Washington, DC. In the interview, topics covered included the economic recovery, the U.S. Supreme Court, Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala...

The response to our country's last pandemic resulted in over 60 million infections. If it has been as deadly as COVID-19 there would have been an outrageous number of deaths. Biden criticizes Trump, but all we have to do is look back a few years to see what would have happened had he been in charge. Trump should hit him with this over and over!

Katie Pavlich| @KatiePavlich|Posted: Jul 16, 2020 uring an event at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., Biden campaign advisor Ron Klein, who also worked for Vice President Biden in the White House and led the response to the Ebola outbreak, explained how the Obama administration did "everything wrong" in response to the 2009 swine flu crisis. "I wasn't involved directly in the H1N1 response but I lived through it as a White House staffer and what I would say about it is a bunch of really talented, really great people were working on it and we did every possible...

China announced Saturday it was banning imports of pork products from Germany after the European country confirmed its first case of African swine fever. Germany is Europe’s biggest pork producer and recently saw a surge in demand from China after it suffered an outbreak of the same disease. Scientists detected swine fever in a dead wild boar in the eastern state of Brandenburg, the German agricultural ministry said on Thursday. Authorities had been concerned about the disease crossing into the country from neighboring Poland after a spate of cases were detected there last year. China responded to the news by...

I promise you if I'm elected, I won't waste any time getting this virus under control. I'll call Dr. Fauci and ask him to stay on. I'll bring together top experts and leaders from both parties to chart a path forward. We'll get it done, together.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 11, 2020

In 1976, the Center for Disease Control made the unprecedented decision to vaccinate the United States against swine flu, fearing that it would become a pandemic in the country that would rival the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919. Later, it was established that the mass vaccination attempt was largely unnecessary, and may have proved fatal for some of the 46 million Americans who received it in the massive effort. After Americans began dying from swine flu in the mid 1970s, then-CDC director Dr. David Sencer made the unprecedented decision to vaccinate millions Americans against the illness in a massive campaign that...

Levin contrasted the coronavirus pandemic with the Obama-Biden response to the 2009 swine flu epidemic, especially their decision to stop testing, on his national radio show “The Mark Levin Show” Thursday. Levin replayed a C-Span clip from May 2019 in which Ron Klain, a former chief of staff for Biden, says that the Obama-Biden response team “did every possible thing wrong.” We had a bunch of really talented, really good people working on it and we did every possible thing wrong and 60 million Americans got H1N1 in that period of time.” "Well, why didn’t they prevent it?" Levin asked....

The 2021 Tournament of Roses Parade, an institution in Pasadena, California, since 1891, has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. This is the first time in 76 years the parade, held each year on New Year’s Day, has been canceled. This year would have marked the 132nd edition. “With reluctance and tremendous disappointment, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association announces that, in accordance with Gov. [Gavin] Newsom’s Phase IV reopening schedule, and after thoughtful consideration of the restrictions and guidelines in place as a result of COVID-19, we are unable to host the 2021 Rose Parade,” the organizers of...

The deadly ‘G4’ virus is extremely dangerous. Currently they are similar to the H1N1 virus that causes bird flu. Researchers call this virus sequence called G4, which is a genetic variant. Full Name G4 EA H1N1. This sequence is associated with three previously identified virus strains. New strains of the European and Asian birds (EA), the H1N1 flu strain, and the North American flu strains carrying genes from birds, pigs and humans, have now been discovered..."The virus is considered to be capable of spreading to humans, according to AFP.

Transition: The new adviser to an undersecretary of defense is a left-wing reporter who once wrote that President George W. Bush was the "torturer-in-chief." Leftist billionaire George Soros has a mole in the Pentagon. Before she was a far-left columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Rosa Brooks was once counsel to Soros' Open Societies Institute. Now she's the "principal adviser" to Undersecretary of Defense Michele Flournoy, the Pentagon's No. 3 official and top policymaker.

An emerging virus discovered in pigs in China has traits similar to the 2009 swine flu and 1918 Spanish flu, Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, told a Senate committee on June 30. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that while the virus, which has been dubbed G4 EA H1N1, doesn’t appear to infect humans, it has shown that it could mutate. “In other words, when you get a brand new virus that turns out to be a pandemic virus, it’s either due to mutations and/or the...

HONG KONG — A new strain of the H1N1 swine flu virus is spreading silently in workers on pig farms in China and should be “urgently” controlled to avoid another pandemic, a team of scientists says in a new study. H1N1 is highly transmissible and spread around the world in 2009, killing about 285,000 people and morphing into seasonal flu. The newer strain, known as G4 EA H1N1, has been common on China’s pig farms since 2016 and replicates efficiently in human airways, according to the study published on Monday. So far, it has infected some people without causing disease,...

Researchers in China have discovered a new type of swine flu that is capable of triggering a pandemic, according to a study published on Monday in the US science journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Named G4, it is genetically descended from the H1N1 strain that caused a pandemic in 2009. It possesses “all the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans”, say the authors, scientists at Chinese universities and the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. From 2011 to 2018, researchers took 30,000 nasal swabs from pigs in slaughterhouses in 10 Chinese provinces and...

The CBS 60 Minutes report the mainstream news media wants you to forget. https://youtu.be/i-RWwdfxMUE  

We are currently living through possibly the worst medical treatment plan in modern history. In 2009 the Swine Flu or H1N1 influenza swept across the United States. There were at least 12,469 deaths across the US and up to 575,000 deaths worldwide. 80% of H1N1 victims were age 65 or UNDER. These are the prime years and most productive years in one’s lifetime. In 2020 the Wuhan Virus or novel coronavirus swept across the United States. So far 50,000 Americans have died and 890,000 have tested positive for the disease. In study after study the vast majority of the deaths...

This is amazing.I normally do not care for the CBS show 60 minutes and their Leftist virtue signaling.  However, this 15 minute segment is one of the exceptions from 1976 with Mike Wallace.  It is very relative to what we are hearing about vaccines today, and how Bill Gates, the W.H.O., the CDC, the U.N., etc..  are trying to make it a requirement for a job to be free, etc..  I thought that was called medical tyranny? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I0hIC6GqMc&feature=emb_title
