You always gotta take advantage of a ginned up crisis

[a fool in paradise]

Global health chiefs have finally admitted that they may have overreacted to the swine flu 'pandemic'

Never let a good crisis go to waste...

[Freddd]

Oh the age of Obama....

National emergency, equaled MONEY GRAB.

[opentalk]

UN cannot be trusted, especially when money is involved. Just like climate-gate.

[edcoil]

How many billions of dollars did this overreaction cost us?

How many congresspeople had stock in these companies that made money on this deal.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They're PRAYING for an excuse to impose a totalitarian world government, and a global pandemic would be such a sweet vehicle for it that they let their dreams get in the way of reality.

[Sacajaweau]

What they're not telling you..."The next time we call it, we'll make the shots mandatory" and NO ONE will dispute that it didn't prevent the spread of the flu.

What are the real stats on the flu especially for the aged. There are no control groups. They just line up and we assume they would have gotten the flu except they had the shot.

[mlocher]

Oh, but wait until next year.....

[SoCal Pubbie]

Didn’t they do the same thing back around 1977?

[Tarpon]

yep, you nailed it — even if they have to lie ...

Lies are the source of most things liberal.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

The gubmint can’t even administer a stupid shot no one needed. Wait until they are making life and death decisions in health care.

[Pete]

It may actually have been a pandemic (that just means it spread quickly and broadly). It just wasn’t a serious illness. Probably, most people who got it didn’t even know it. Sounds like they overestimated the virulence.

[Sacajaweau]

pharmaceutical payoff....

[onedoug]

‘Gotta have a at least a PhD to screw up like that.

[mad_as_he$$]

No $hit. I said so from the beginning. Manufactured crisis. BILLIONS wasted.

[timeflies]

Exactly! It was certainly swept under the rug. Amazing how the MSM just lets certain news just disappear.

[griswold3]

Perhaps your statement is true on a general level. But for my experience, healthy adult no pre existing condition, hospitalized for 5 days with H1N1, pneumonia and dehydration. Still feeling affects today.
The 50yo female across the hall also with H1N1 (same bland medical history) was care flighted the next day to Ohio State University Medical Center, intubated, and passed away in two weeks.

[Gator113]

Nothing but a scam to steal billions of tax dollars.

Even worse, had this been a real threat, thousands, if not millions, would have died because of the incompetence of our own government.

Just another of Obama’s many failures.

[DManA]

The second time in my lifetime this has happened. Unbelievable.
