Hey you! Stop being so calm. There’s a good crisis the Fed creating but it won’t be an actual crisis unless you bitter and clingy wheel cogs start to panic. So come on now!
Flu Fighters Not Content with Calm
Why are health agencies peddling more and increasingly specific advice on flu preparedness, when the public is feeling pretty chill about it? The latest Washington Post-ABC News poll shows the American public is not very worried about flu. Most people feel confident that health agencies will be able to handle a flu outbreak. But health officials don’t seem content with that sort of tranquility…
Now, officials’ aim is to fight what they claim is public complacency. We’re not fearful enough. And, behind that, their goal is to keep the taps open on the flow of dollars to their own agency or project…
Read the whole thing, and here’s the little bio plug at the end of the article which includes a book that looks like a rather timely Must Read…
Philip Alcabes, PhD, is associate professor of Urban Public Health at Hunter College and the Graduate Schools, the City University of N.Y. He is the author of “Dread: How Fear and Fantasy Have Fueled Epidemics From the Black Death to Avian Flu,” (PublicAffairs 2009).
Is it just me, or has the H1N1 virus been a yawner of an epidemic? Yet, it always seems to be in the news when Obama’s tanking in the polls for one reason or another. Call me a black helicopter type…sorry, that’s community organizer helicopter type…but I wouldn’t be surprised if the White House isn’t pushing the H1N1 virus news as a means to get people scared enough to not only let him do whatever he wants, but also to get Obamacare passed.
Of course, given Obama’s alleged religious leanings, I have to chuckle a bit that he’s using swine to save his political career.
Tammy, I have been thinking about the flu so called crises and wondered what you or anyone thought of my theory. I’m thinking that this is what could be the down fall of the churches. If they say that people cannot assemble then the churches would more than likely falter since they depend on weekly donations. All because they are trying to protect us, ofcourse.
mmmm “butter and clingy” yum
I believe they are trying to create a crisis too good to waste…
Thank you so much, Tammy, for talking about the dangers of the swine flu vaccine! Vaccines cause all immune conditions and I’m sure the drug companies have known this for years. People in the early 1800s were fighting the use of vaccines b/c cancer was a new condition arising COINCIDENTALLY with the use of vaccines. Doctors who had never before treated people with cancer were suddenly having 30 cases or more. PEOPLE, WAKE UP and fight the use of vaccines! Do you want your children to live happily to 120 or do you want them to struggle with every manner of disease until they die of exhaustion from a continual fight at the age of 60? I’m tired of being polite, when ANGER is the natural and right reaction.
