And if you don't have one available, make one up.
Like the swine flu. H1N1. By most accounts no more dangerous than your average garden variety annual flu. And how much have we really heard about it lately?
Until now.
The Washington Post states:
Peaking in October. School kids are going to spread it. But the government is going to take care of you. Sure are. Just as soon as they can figure out if it's safe. What the dose should be. Who should get it.
Hmm. And it comes out now just when support for Obamacare is going around the bowl and down the hole. Convenient.
"Hey look" will Rahmadan say "Obamacare will work! Look how the government saved so many lives by giving flu shots! Trust us!"
This is not the Spanish Flu of 1918, but the analogies will be made. Got to make those Tamiflu sales. Got to make the Fed look good. Scare the bejesus out of the public. The government will take care of you.
Well, it scares me. Gives me very little confidence that the government wants to rush a massive innoculation campaign when they don't even know the correct dosage yet. Or the side effects. Or if it's even needed. Makes one want to rush right out and support Obamacare, doesn't it?
Why all the rushing from the current crop of pissants and nitwits in D.C.? Uncle Barry needs to learn to enjoy life. Maybe he should sit back, relax, and have a beer.

Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste
And if you don't have one available, make one up.
Like the swine flu. H1N1. By most accounts no more dangerous than your average garden variety annual flu. And how much have we really heard about it lately?
Until now.
The Washington Post states:
WASHINGTON - Government health officials are mobilizing to launch a massive
swine flu vaccination campaign this fall that is unprecedented in its scope — and in the potential for complications.
The campaign aims to vaccinate at least half the country's population within months. Although more people have been inoculated against diseases such as smallpox and polio over a period of years, the United States has never tried to immunize so many so quickly.
But even as scientists rush to test the vaccine to ensure it is safe and effective, the campaign is lagging. Officials say only about a third as much vaccine as they had been expecting by mid-October is likely to arrive by then, when a new wave of infections could be peaking. . .
. . .Among the unknowns: how many shots people will need, what the correct dosage should be, and how to avoid confusing the public with an overlapping effort to combat the regular seasonal flu. . .
. . ."This is potentially the largest mass-vaccination program in human history," said Howard Markel, a professor of medical history at the University of Michigan who is advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as it spearheads the effort. .
.
. . .As schools reopen, the number of cases could jump sharply within weeks, sparking a second wave potentially far larger than the outbreak last spring. Although the swine flu appears no more dangerous than the typical seasonal flu, the new virus — known as H1N1 — is likely to infect many more people because most have no immunity against it. . .
. . ."This is an overreaction," said Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center, which opposes many vaccine policies. "There is no national security threat here. Why are we operating like this? This is not polio. This is not smallpox."
Peaking in October. School kids are going to spread it. But the government is going to take care of you. Sure are. Just as soon as they can figure out if it's safe. What the dose should be. Who should get it.
