H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 56, in Today's News 10.24.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. Opps. The directors of the swine-flu scare campaign have screwed up again. It's becoming more and more difficult to take these people seriously, even as adversaries.

First they projected a campaign that came just short of mandatory vaccination. Then they failed to allow enough time to adequately test the new vaccine. Then they announced that the vaccine would not be available until well into the anticipated flu season. That announcement was followed by another saying that the amount of vaccine to be received would be 25% less than planned. Finally, today the directors have revealed that less than half of the expected vaccine has been delivered.

The cryptocracy has to be viewing all this with disbelief. The idea was to launch a big effort to accustom the public to receiving vaccine shots. An ideal bug was found; ideal because it didn't essentially differ from an existing bug that was sure to hit in the flu season. They planned out a mammoth campaign, lined up local and state government agencies, health organizations and associations, political and health leaders, and the media. A new director was brought into the Center for Disease Control to lead the charge. Then they set their plan in motion. That's when the incompetence appeared.

Instead of an intimidated public, there now exists even greater skepticism about government announcements, and especially about the health dangers from these vaccines.

The key to the failure of the campaign so far is the intelligence of the public, who refused in great numbers to go along with what they were being told about swine flu and the necessity of vaccination. This is an important lesson. The cryptocracy tends to think of the public as peasants that can be easily led around and manipulated. Perhaps events such as this will lead the cryptocracy to be a little more respectful of the average Joe and Mary. It's doubtful, but one can always hope.
