Lol no kidding right? So much for Swine Flu and the millions of dollars our government wasted on buying vaccines for it. What was the death toll in the US? No higher than the death toll for standard Flu each year?

I didn't get a flu shot of any kind and I never have. I was sick with flu like symptoms for 2 days and then fine again.

That was an interesting commercial. I'm sure the parodies are coming soon. "What I want to know is how big were the boobies, who had the nicest ass, and can you hook a brotha up with some left over poon tang?"

Despite how wrong Tiger was, I can't condemn the man. Presidents, priests, senators, and ex-cops who post on VGChartz have done things just as reprehensible. The man plays golf. That's the only thing I care about.

Chuck Norris will fart this August.. say goodbye to the world...

I hate how people look back on potential catastrophes.

If the swine flu had mutated into a very dangerous virus (which was and still is possible) then everyone would be accusing the government and media of not doing enough, however because it hasn't it's been overblown and money wasted. Not every potential disaster is going to turn out, be prepared for them all just so you can catch the ones that do.

It's a rebirth of the whole universe. It's a new Big Bang after all

I have a bit of a cold (or allergies or something) and this post triggered a bout of uncontrollable laughter and coughing!  You almost "tickled me to death"!

But it wasn't even a real potential disaster.  The Swine Flu even happened before and it posed no threat then.  They make flu shots based on a guess of existing flu, so had the flu mutated it would have still been a major, major waste since the current vaccine would not help.  Even from the beginning though, every Swine Flu victim experienced normal flu like symptoms and got over them.  The only people that died were ones with other health complications or weaker immune systems (such as old people, very young kids, pregnant women) or lived in a highly poverty ridden area like Mexico.

It was the government and the media that blew up this small normal mutation of existing flu with no harsher side effects than standard flu and purposely tried to make a panic out of it in order for us to get shots.

The Wii. Once it has finished destroying gaming, it's coming for the rest of us.

*Sigh* Do you understand what a pandemic is? Do you understand how Swine flu differs from regular seasonal flu?

This video explains the situation better than I could...

Trust me, at the swine flu media peak I was living with three nurses, my girlfriend was (still is) a medical student whose social group was formed pretty much solely of people in/hoping to work in the medical industry... Each and every one of them was very concerned about swine flu.

I once thought it was media hype too, My old house mates (the nurses) quickly showed me I was wrong when I said it was "media hype" one night.

Palin :-p
