Is it "The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf'" or a realistic scenario? Tens of millions died in 1918, so anything is possible.

Don’t thousands die from the flu every year??? already?

[yldstrk]

oh yeah yeah we’re all petrified

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Translation: We stand to make a lot of money on this scam, so we need to frighten the sheeple into demanding it.

[B.O. Plenty]

....and....we all have to wonder how many people will die from the effects of taking the vaccine....

[newfreep]

There's always a new "crisis" flu...
- Swine flu
- Bird flu
- East Nile mosquito flu

What's the next flu crisis?

[cripplecreek]

They can take their vaccine and shove it. I’m not going to be willingly vaccinated.

[chicagolady]

Don’t worry. The Swine Flu shot that they are developing WILL KILL some people anyway.

TUESDAY, July 21 (HealthDay News) — A high-level U.S. government decision in 1976 to vaccinate 43 million people against swine flu backfired — badly.

Not only did the dreaded outbreak never materialize (illness never spread beyond 240 soldiers stationed at Fort Dix, N.J.) but some 500 Americans who did get vaccinated came down with a rare neurodegenerative condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome, which many experts believe was linked to the shot. Twenty-five of those 500 people died.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

RED ALERT! NEW PEOPLE CONTROLS NEEDED TO PROTECT THE POPULATION.
GOVERNMENT WILL USE THE ALLEGED CRISIS TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO COMPLIANCE.

After the nanobots in the flue vaccine take control of our minds, socialism will be very easy!
I just had to throw in a black helicopter! /sarc hehehe

Please enter the appropriate boxcar en route to your local FEMA camp for processing.

Just another reason to rush into OBAMACARE.

Here we go again with the irresponsible scaremongering where the government is supposed to be the only savior. Epidemiologists have declared H1N1 flu a mild strain that doesn’t have severe symptoms months ago. But facts seldom change alarmist agendas.

~yawn~
We’re all gonna die. Someday.

[Man50D]

BO's CDC is feeding a line of bull. Below is a statement from the WHO.

""The WHO says most H1N1 cases are mild, with many people recovering unaided". "She stressed that the overwhelming majority of patients experienced mild symptoms and made a full recovery within a week, often in the absence of any form of medical treatment."

I have a feeling that the numbers reported of U.S. citizens having contracted the pig flu are probably understated by maybe up to 50% simply because people who may have been sick with the flu and recovered didn’t even know it was the pig flu......

[Man50D]

I'm growing increasingly leery about BO setting this manufactured crisis up as another means of controlling people. Some states have laws based on the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act that forces people to get vaccinated if the state declares an emergency.

The fact is: It is overblown but there will a significant number of deaths but nothing around 100,000 more like the tens of thousands.

I might have had the swine flu already, or maybe it was just a bad burrito. Guess I'll never really know.
