There are NO comments on this topic….because it is a non-story. I am not suprised.
Over 2,300 people died as a result of influenza in 2009….just this year….and no one noticed. Now, we have the “Swine flu”, which is actually milder than normal “flu’s” and for some reason the world is freaking out.
This is total nonesense. It is government run amock. If we individuals cannot take care of our selves when we have the flu….what’s next….a cold? A sniffle?
Totally rediculous and a waste of energy and money.

Yes, I acknowledge the fact that the U.S. government has failed miserably in the past and I am by NO MEANS a fan of it at all, but what I think everyone should at least take into account is the fact that the government is ACTUALLY doing something about this. And in reply to previous post, it is not the same as influenza if that were the case it would not be considered a potential PANDEMIC around the world. Seriously people, I am all for everyone working for “the cause”. But those of you that mindlessly do it and have no idea what’s actually going on and just feed into the garbage you are given you give EDUCATED “hippies” like me a bad name. You all should really take the time to truly READ about the things you feel strongly about so that you are not in, your own way, like the government and their dim-witted followers just mindlessly following like ducks in a line…I urge everyone that thinks that they are for a cause to actually read about it, take the time to do the research, it will bring you so much more respect.
Best wishes,
