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?

Baxter and pals made a ton of money and so did the Marxist in chief and his thugs.

It was payback to the vaccine makers (ie drug companies) that the government would hype it up in order to get public demand for the vaccine up. Fascism (aka The Third Way, via Bill Clinton and others) at work.

From the onset, I was less than impressed with the actual Swine Flu threat. But the response to Swine Flu I believe was as a “dress rehearsal” for the governments of the world, for the *real* threat, that was, and remains, H5N1 Avian Flu.

Behind the scenes, there have been massive preparations for the Avian Flu, and the disease itself continues to slowly adapt for its lethal purposes. And when it does so, it has the strong potential to be the deadliest plague in world history.

It is very atypical from other influenza for a host of reasons. It has, and has mysteriously retained, a 60% mortality rate for those it has infected. This is extremely high. The Spanish Flu, which traumatized America in 1918, had only a 10-20% mortality.

So, while we may give humble and hearty thanks that Swine Flu wasn’t deadlier, the real threat still remains.
