The World Health Organization is afraid that “even more people will be susceptible to the next flu pandemic” because the current swine flu pandemic turned out to be a dud.
Well, yeah. Has anyone at WHO ever read about the little boy who cried wolf? After weeks of yelling “The swine flu is coming! Panic! You’re gonna die! News at 11 ... and at 10 ... and at 9 ... and at 8:45 ... and at 8:40 ... and at ...,” of course people are going to ignore you.
So what’s the typical reaction of the Nanny Statists? “Next time we have to yell louder.”

Putting aside the tragic deaths, at least we had the high comedy of Biden this time to keep us all entertained. Can't wait for the next animal flu of doom!
