Media’s Huge Failure: Swine Flu Hysteria

I’m quite sick and tired of the unbelievable hysteria being fed by the media and encouraged by the Obama Administration and the World Health Organization.

First of all, here are two facts that you have NOT heard from the saturated coverage of the pig flu.

  1. Face masks DO NOT stop the spread of the virus.  Face masks can only help prevent the spread of bacteria-related illnesses — not viruses.
  2. 36,000 Americans die EVERY YEAR from flu/flu-related illnesses.  Only 16 people WORLDWIDE (all in Mexico) have died from the pig flu.  For crying out loud!

This obsession the media has with scaring everyone to death, then moving onto something else… well, it is pathetic and irresponsible.

Stop the madness.
