Washington is now controlled by compulsive personalities, such as Nancy Pelosi.
Both parties are as freaky as the other...as nutty as each other.
So, the Democrats were so compulsively fixed on getting their health bill, they ignored the H1N21 threat, and let 4,000 people die. Just so they could bully their ways on the country.
They could have let the health bill sit for a while, and focus their efforts on the H1N1 - But, they have compulsive personalities.
They've been blaming the deaths in Iraq on the Republicans. And now they managed to kill about as many people from their neglect of our well being. And they managed to do it so much quickly.
All efforts should have been on this issue - the H1N1 flu virus.
They should have been putting all efforts into getting the vaccines out - using as many resources as possible.
Yes, it takes time to develop - But, if more resources were used - we would have enough vaccine for everyone.
These deaths that are occuring are on the hands of the Democrats.
They will start saying if the health care bill is passed all these lives could have been saved. Or blame repubs for not voting for it and letting folks die. All politics.
I'm sure it was because they did not wash their hands. I'm sure of that because it couldn't be our governments fault. Yep, they just didn't wash their hands, I'm sure. Our leaders put all their faith in one company to make all the vaccine for the country but that couldn't be it. They just didn't wash their hands and that is why they died. Just remember, before you vote wash you hands.
It really is sad that people are dying from this flu, but we HAVE to put it into perspective, i.e., in any given year we lose 40,000 or more from the flu, and 40,000 more from auto accidents.
Comparing flu deaths to our losses in Iraq is not a productive endeavor; such apples and oranges games prove nothing.
Allegations that any party has been distracted or inattentive on the H1N1 flu are bogus until the case is proved, which the OP has not done.

got proof 40,000 seems high. had to bump this one live with it
in any given year we loose 40,000 to the flue! holy crap i never knew.
Not sure about 40,000 but definitely know a lot of people dye from regular flue every year and have been VERY curious for a while now about the H1N1 "hysteria". I have yet to meet a single person that has this.... or knows anyone that does.
My work put out all of these notifications months ago and installed hand sanitizers all over the place. since then.... crickets.
I just feel like the attention H1N1 is getting far outweighs the true effects. Maybe it is just regional so far?
Swine flu mortality rate is lower than regular flu.
