I agree the electioneering was rotten, but there was no reliable way to predict whethere there would be an epidemic or not. You can see flu epidemics as late as April, so there is still a chance, but right now it looks like this was a light year for influenza and we lucked out.
If there is no reliable way of predicting, that why whip up hysteria, except to have something else to blame on President Bush.
This was just more of the Dem scare tactic.
True. There is still a chance, but I have a feeling it'll be a mild flu year. When I think of all those old people standing in line before dawn in Florida, waiting to get their shots, it makes my blood boil. The Dems might as well have yelled "fire" in a crowded theater.
