Another 'sky is falling' rant. The actual facts about this flu season aren't that much worse than any other year. It's as if the public health departments are trying to scare the bejesus out of people. What I am trying to figure out, is why?

This is one of the first years in a long time when influenza virus vaccines were in plentiful supply. Then, mid-stream, the public health departments instigated a frenzy of ill-advised statements which paniced people into getting a flu shot. Now there's a shortage.

The outbreak of flu that has been so talked about this year, is a variety that IS NOT covered by the influenza vaccine designed, manufactured and distributed this year. Still the public health officials promote the vaccine because "it may help". LOL, now there's a resounding endorsement. If that were true it wouldn't matter much if we anticipated and designed vaccines for new varieties each year would it.

It almost makes one wonder if there's a homosexual ACLU and socialist gene being implemented in with the actual vaccine. If not, what's this bum's rush all about?
