In fact, the current outbreak of the H1N1 virus, which emerged in San Diego and southern Mexico late last month, may not even do as much damage as the run-of-the-mill flu outbreaks that occur each winter without much fanfare.
Of course, VP Biden has come out and advised against using public transportation; airplanes, trains... even mentioned closed classrooms. ookaayyy...
Followed by the usual communication from his office that our VP once again put his foot in his mouth, he didn't really mean what you heard him say, etc, etc, etc...

Joe, Joe, Joe...
Yes, he is a great source of pride for the country.
This is one of the scariest bills I've ever read in my life. Jackbooted thugs can kick in your front door and throw you out of your house then force a doctor against his will to vaccinate you -- all because some people have caught the sniffles. Thirty-six people in Boston have stripped away the rights of everyone in a state.

Man that is crazy. I can't see anything like this getting through here in the south.
Ford tried to force vaccinations on the public in '76 and the vaccines were worse than the flu. More people had problems from the vaccine than got sick.
