It's because the election is over and the media isn't scaring the hell out of Seniors anymore

BINGO

The media echos the DNC talking points. Zogbyism continues.

"It's because the election is over and the media isn't scaring the hell out of Seniors anymore."

That's exactly it. That whole "crisis" was a media-generated flap intended to influence the election. In previous years, the press has generally been skeptical about flu shots, warning of the dangers, etc. But this year, just before the election, the temporary absence of flu shots was treated as a national crisis and a scandal, sending thousands of people looking for shots who'd never had them before.

No kidding. I was remarking on this the other week.

What happened to the big flu shot scare? Pfft. Same thing that happened to stem cell hysteria.
