Swine Flu – 1976 and Today

April 28, 2009

In Ecclesiastes 1:9 the Word of God proclaims that there is nothing new under the sun.

What about this swine flu? The media frenzy sure makes it look like this is a brand new threat that could cause widespread peril to all mankind and wipe tens of millions from the face of the Earth. OK, maybe I exaggerate a bit.

Anyway, back to my point. Clint Ecker (@clint) posted a YouTube video with 1976 Swine Flu Public Service Announcements. Wait, 1976, that’s right my friend. There was a big swine flu panic in 1976 and President Ford led a massive inoculation of 40 million people.

The swine flu case of 1976 forever reduced confidence in public health pronouncements from the government and helped foster cynicism about federal policy makers that continues to this day. — 1976: Fear of a great plague

So, before you head for the hills, stock up on Tamiflu, or start calling for mass inoculation, we might want to pause and review a bit of history.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. — George Santayana

You can destroy people on those Nets now and nobody’s watching

I am quickly growing more and more disgusted by those supposedly on the Right that are pushing Liberal agendas on way to many issues.

Hillary 1984

March 19, 2007

The Obama camp is claiming that they had no part in creating this video. Clearly, the video is borrowed from Apple and re-mixed for Obama v. Clinton. Looks like it could be a user-generated mash-up to me. There is no way the Obama campaign would stoop so low so as degenerate the socialism Hillary would bring to America if allowed to!

Regardless, this video could mean huge changes in the 2008 President Election campaigns. Just think of money candidates could save by not running so many TV commercials when they can run them on the net for free. No need to high production costs if your base can put compelling commercials together for you. Are you paying attention broadcast media? Do current election laws handle this?
