The response to our country's last pandemic resulted in over 60 million infections. If it has been as deadly as COVID-19 there would have been an outrageous number of deaths. Biden criticizes Trump, but all we have to do is look back a few years to see what would have happened had he been in charge. Trump should hit him with this over and over!

During the H1N1 crisis, there was never a time when I felt pressure to misrepresent facts, dismiss advice from medical experts or praise the president. The H1N1 flu pandemic was an early and serious homeland security challenge for the Obama Administration. The first cases were detected in Mexico, but not publicly announced, a few weeks before President Obama's 2009 visit to Mexico City. I accompanied Obama on that trip, but we didn't learn about the virus that was beginning to sweep through North America until we returned to Washington. By the end of April 2009, a public health emergency was...

Full Name G4 EA H1N1. This sequence is associated with three previously identified virus strains. New strains of the European and Asian birds (EA), the H1N1 flu strain, and the North American flu strains carrying genes from birds, pigs and humans, have now been discovered..."The virus is considered to be capable of spreading to humans, according to AFP.

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump prefaced the revival of his campaign rallies with days of self-congratulation, a familiar pattern that has not been disturbed by the traumas of this time. ... A look at claims and the reality from the past week: TRUMP: “Biden got failing grades and polls on his clueless handling of the Swine Flu H1N1. It was a total disaster, they had no idea what they were doing.” - tweet Thursday. THE FACTS: This is a distorted history of a pandemic in 2009 that killed far fewer people in the United States than the coronavirus is killing...

Barack Obama would beat Donald Trump if he could run for president again by more than 10 per cent if an election were held today, a poll revealed Wednesday, as tensions between the former president and successor spiked this month. The survey, taken May 18-19, shows that there is still significant public support for the former president over the current White House resident by a margin of 54 per cent to 43 per cent. Progressive public relations consultant, Eric Schmeltzer, took $4,500 out of his own pocket to personally commission the poll with Public Policy Polling to see who would...

Former President Barack Obama on Saturday criticized U.S. leaders overseeing the nation’s response to the coronavirus, telling college graduates in an online commencement address that the pandemic shows many officials “aren’t even pretending to be in charge.” Obama spoke on “Show Me Your Walk, HBCU Edition,” a two-hour event for students graduating from historically black colleges and universities broadcast on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. His remarks were unexpectedly political, given the venue, and touched on current events beyond the virus and its social and economic impacts. “More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the...

Old Joe confused Memorial Day and Labor Day during an interview from his basement in Delaware. Biden got confused when asked if he will have his VP pick by Memorial Day (May). “My guess is we probably will…I’m quite sure that would be the case because right now the convention is scheduled in August before Memorial Day,” Biden then caught himself. “Wait, are you saying Memorial or Labor?” Then he referred to N95 masks as “N96” masks.

Remember the dire predictions of 50, 000,000 worldwide swine flu deaths? One year later that prediction made by the World Health Organization (WHO) has been proved to be just another United Nations hoax like the melting Alps. It fell short by 49,985,858 deaths. Now in hard Left “We know better than you” style, the WHO attacked as “irresponsible” those who have called its claim fraudulent. WHO claimed everything pointed to a worldwide pandemic outbreak of N1H1 influenza and it denied allegations of being influenced to make this claim by powerful pharmaceutical companies. In October the AP found that 75% of...
