Goodbye Swine Flu – Boutique Pandemic
A customary hook currently in vaccine selling repertoire is that the term ‘pandemic,’ starting with the nonexistent Avian flu of 2005. As that chimera pale off into the boneyard of plague hysteria memorabilia, the sales team next scored a sterling success with the 2009 swine flu ‘outbreak.’
The 2009 swine flu/H1N1 fiasco made that fatal error, hiring the simplest publicists money can buy. The scenario they painted was thus grim, the threat so dire that no set of actual events in need of the Bubonic Plague might have lived up to it. So we witnessed the unravelling of a pestilence before enough folks showed up to participate in it. Sheep though they’re, even the impaired mentality of the general public saw through that veil. When all those months of threats and hysteria from each level of government, in all media, the American people said no thanks, we have a tendency to’re not buying swine flu.
A background outline of the 2009 H1N1 sideshow might be found online in the chapter Swine Flu: World Pandemic or Simply Makin’ Bacon. So abundant bad science and self-serving propaganda was dumped on the public concerning this low cost vaccine promotion that it might fill a book, however the important lesson we tend to must take from it is to apprehend the pattern of the created-to-order pandemic that has become firmly established in our culture, and can currently be trotted out on command.
