Is it possible the pandemic was touted to take the public’s mind off of more serious subjects like the war, economy, terrorism, the government takeover of well, everything?

“Harvard: Swine Flu Pandemic Oversold; Fear Mongering Government To Blame?”

Well, yes and, the state controlled media. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and of course NPR. Each, more useless then the next.

Is it possible that the Pope is a Catholic?

Biggest farce since globull warming.

More wag the dog from the Soros clowns.

Joe Biden warned us that some nefarious thing would test Barry in his first year.

I, for one, am glad that my president told me to wash my hands to prevent spreading disease. I hope he will sprinkle more of his wisdom on us as his term progresses. /s

[Obadiah]

A perfect example of “captain obvious”. I took heat from fellow FReepers, but every indication pointed to that this was yet one more, GOBUL WARMING!!!, type scare. Yeah, and movie popcorn will kill you too.

By the way, could the government have screwed up the H1N1 vaccine any more than they did? When the vaccine eventually, finally got somewhat available the so-called pandemic had already peaked and passed. Sheesh. Oh, yeah, and remember that bird flu thing that was supposed to be the third horseman of the apocalypse...?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Just another attempt to frighten us so we will look to them for salvation. They will return us all to serfdom if we don't stop them.

Those of us born with the freedom gene are the greatest threat they face, we must be prepared for trouble!

BUAIDH NO BAS !

[Birdsbane]

Only oversold if you haven’t contracted it. Hurts like living hell. Didn’t seek immunization & still would not have given it to do again, enlightened.

[the long march]

I said it was over blown at the time. As people ( even some here at FR) were runny around saying the sky was falling, I suggested that this would not turn out to be that big a deal. Do I have special powers? Only to the extent that I know Australia has its flu season about 6 months before ours hits ——IF it was a truly dangerous pandemic there would have been tens of thousands of deaths last spring

[jacknhoo]

Infertility, rendered.

Read this book to see what might happen in an influenza pandemic. I don't believe it is just scaremongering. There is not much that we can do besides vaccinations, which have a long lead time to produce. If we faced another influenza pandemic like the 1918 virus, which is entirely possible, tens of millions might die.

They’ll still take advantage of this news, and spin it to their favor. “See, we took great measures to inform the public how to prevent the spread of H1N1..and it worked! Good job everyone, but most of all, good job to us for telling you how to wash your hands!”

When the Democrats get their healthcare bill, every thing will become a pandemic.

[buccaneer81]

H1N1=AGW=Y2K.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yep. It doesn't take Harvard to figure out that it was a hustle to keep the populace insecure and looking toward gubbermint to save them.

[Doohickey]

At one time, it was feared the swine flu pandemic would cause there to be worldwide shortage of the much needed swine flu vaccine.

Of course, there was a shortage. Like most other shortages, it was caused by government-fueled hype.

[DBrow]

LOL! We were warned of what the problem was, and how bad it might get.

We got advice on sanitation, hand sanitizers, vaccines, handwashing, handshaking, cleaning phone handpieces and other stuff that would mitigate a pandemic.

Then when the pandemic does not materialize, people assume that there was no threat, and much of it was a hoax.

What if the precautions worked?

[Armaggedon]

To the Obama Chicago Mob, every crisis is an opportunity to get more power and steal more money. They got hundred of billions of unspent dollars to win the 2010 elections.

Those who love freedom are going to have to volunteer like crazy, to make up for the imbalance. Obama is going to use the billions to make himself look good. He is a master liar, cheat and thief.

[originalbuckeye]

Harvard gets the ‘DUH’ award of 2009. What an embarrassment!
