H1N1 (Swine Flu) Epidemic May Have Been Overstated
January 26th, 2010 | 
Author: The World Health Organization has admitted that their response to the H1N1 epidemic may have been over-exaggerated.
Many people have claimed that the pharmaceutical industry helped to create panic in order to sell more vaccines and make more money. The World Health Organization denies it was influenced by big business and chose to treat it as the most serious threat possible instead of under-estimate how bad it was.
While I have been one of many people who thought the reaction was rediculous from the beginning, it is good to see that they are at least saying they made a mistake. Unfortunately, I doubt that it will prevent them from making the same mistake again next time a new “threat” comes about. All the while, the drug companies are getting richer making vaccines that most people have no real need for.
