Right now, I don't think there is anything they aren't telling us....this particular Avian Flu still hasn't shown signs of being transferred from human to human...
it is still a disease from bird to human....and there is no vaccine yet...
However, if you remember last winter when there was a flu scare, and SARS was all over the news...President Bush was accused of not caring, and therefore, not stocking up with enough vaccine...
Hitlery was the worst accuser, even though legistlation that SHE pushed in the Senate is partly responsible for the lack of vaccines available...
I think he is trying to avoid that kind of condemnation...that he doesn't pay attention or care....by getting out in front of this...
Besides, some dem Senators....have gotten ahold of the information and are trying to add BILLIONS of dollars worth of research and emergency medical units and such to any bill they can....
and in doing so, might panic the Americans that don't see it as a way to get more money into their state's coffers.
You could be correct on this. I didn't make the connection with the flu from last year.
