If anything they (Fed’s, CDC, WHO, etc) have been under reporting cases and severity.
Yes. Sibelius and HHS said in the spring and early summer there would be enough vaccine. When it became clear in late summer that would not be the case, the media backed off reporting on what was happening in countries where H1N1 was hitting. Also noticed an increase in anti-vaccine rhetoric. I have no doubt some of that is coming from the left to cover up the fact Obama has botched this big time.
(note: concern about vaccine is legitimate. I'm only remarking that there is more talk of the dangers this year than normal. I see forums across the net spammed with it).
