"It may never be possible to validate the accuracy of these figures. The true number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths may lie within the ranges provided or it’s also possible that they may lie outside the ranges."
Basically the CDC provided a nice catch all for making up statistics. This just further proves that what they say is made up crap. Here's how I read this.
"What we say will never be validated and furthermore, the numbers provided are outside of the ranges we've given, to the lower side, since we heavily overestimated the number of H1N1 cases."
Or,
"What we say will never be validated and furthermore, the numbers provided are outside of the ranges we've given, to the higher side, since we heavily underestimated the number of H1N1 cases." That statement is as likely to be true as the one you gave.
It was not "made up crap." It was an extrapolation based on known cases.

You could argue this point back and forth forever and get absolutely nowhere. The bottom line is, you actually believe the US government is a bunch of nice, trustworthy, honest politicans and I choose to believe everything they say is a biased lie that smells like profit driven corporate greed. The end.

Just because you do not understand the math, does not mean it is not valid.
You can choose to dispute the CDC estimate. The CDC tells you how that estimate was determined. Do you have a better estimate that you can support with figures and an explanation of how you arrived at those figures?
As long as you post your views here, it is my prerogative to counter them. And how do you propose that the CDC profits from anything other than an honest estimate? Their scientists get paid the same whether there were 2 million H1N1 cases or 58 million.
There's no way to test milk to measure how much, IF ANY, rbst is present in the milk. The reason it can't be measured, is because it is chemically identical to BST, which cows produce naturally.
That's why the USA won't allow rbst to be a required label.
