wow Pabster, you've set a record for most times being made to look like a fool in one thread...
terrorism deaths aren't counted properly - um...ok, do you still think they make up even 1% of the amount of people killed by the flu each year? They don't...get over it...funny how you pick on the guardian link, but not the next link that was this administration's count of terrorism-related deaths...then you make a pathetic attempt at saying "all the terrorist-related deaths aren't categorized correctly....you know, because all of the deaths caused by the flu are......
then you just bail out altogether and say it isn't about numbers, it's about the reality of the threat....I don't think anyone denies that terrorism is some sort of threat...but it's utterly moronic of you to say that this particular strain of flu isn't a threat because for some stupid-4ss reason you think's it's liberal to think that...this is a global issue, not a left or right issue - get your head out of your right wing talking points memo directed life and see that, then stop making half-4ssed posts here doing nothing but spouting the same bs over and over.
Vic, you couldn't be more wrong. This flu isn't the same flu that happened in 1918, period. Does it have similarities? Yes, it does. But it is VERY REAL and it is a threat. SARS is nothing compared to the potential devistation caused if this virus gains the ability to be passed from person to person. You guys watch Wag-the-Dog too much if you think this is some big ploy...the companies that make these vaccines are doing quite well without this.
