H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 36, in Today's News 08.26.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. Yesterday the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology projected that one-half of the American public could be infected by swine flu. They stated that this number was not a prediction, only a projection.

Today, newspaper articles appeared that stated the one-half projection as fact, or as close to fact as one can be. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appeared on NBC's Today show as well throwing around as many frightening numbers as possible.

This is how the cryptocracy works. They have a 'scientific' study announce some wild figures as a projection. Then the media and various spokespeople ignore the nuance and describe the situation in as terrifying terms as they can get away with.

All this for a virus that is not serious at all.

Sebelius' main purpose on the Today show was to defuse any school closings for flu reasons. Earlier the flu-scare-campaign directors had beat the drums for closing schools at the first sign of sniffles. Then someone told them that they were setting up a social catastrophe by having kids home and parents home to look after them. The country would have come to a halt for most of the fall and/or winter.

So now the directors are having to re-cover ground to make sure no one follows their original instructions. Being in this situation is yet another stupidity by the directors of the scare campaign.
