Three agencies are teaming up with Sesame Street to prepare school children for the new threat of the H1N1 virus.

The White House announced Tuesday morning that the Homeland Security, Education, and Health and Human Services departments are enlisting the help of Elmo and Gordon from the long-running educational show to teach children how to avoid H1N1, also know as the swine flu.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with the secretaries of those three agencies and other administration officials later Tuesday afternoon to discuss the threat.

Elmo, Gordon, the Sesame Workshop and the federal agencies will try to teach children, through public service announcements, steps they can take to prevent contracting or spreading the potentially deadly flu strain.

That’s a pity,even using kids’ shows to push the propaganda. Not that there isn’t a virus out there, but just my opinion, the excitement is over hyped.

Could have been MADTV:

Of course Mad TV was a lot more conservative than SNL, relatively speaking that is. So they had to cancel it.

Yeah, I’m wondering that too.

I mean the CDC is saying this isn’t as bad as the WH is making it out, we’ve already had it hit our school (and my kids) and it was less of a problem than that Chinese flu that came around a few years back, but they are going out of their way to frighten people.

I’m not just skeptical about this, I’m starting to concerned. Not because of fear of the flu, but fear of this regime’s reaction to a supposed epidemic.

Let’s see. It already hit in our area in March-May. It started here before it became a big deal in the news. We had it a few weeks before it hit the news. It was a very bad flu. One child died from it at our sons’ previous school. That child was already in poor health. We never went to the physician over it. Why would we unless we were at death’s door? It’s a virus. We thought it was just a seasonal flu at the time. Our pediatrician’s office has been overwhelmed with paranoid patients since the media hype over this flu started.

No the Joker's boys put out some sort of press release from their ‘science staff’ which said basically everybody is going to die of pig flu. Which is what in turn, prompted the CDC to say hey wait minute ... that's not what we see.

There is a big problem brewing here, a crisis problem which may need strict fast government action -— At least that's what I see, if in fact they can gin up the hysteria.

In other words, it's looking a lot like another Rahm manufacturered setup 'crisis'.

Yes that was the presser. It showed millions would be hospitalized. The whole thing was designed to panic people.
