World Health Organization suffers because too few people are dying of swine flu

It’s panic time at the World Health Organization. Avian flu flopped. And SARS generated more headlines than deaths. WHO wants a pandemic. It needs a pandemic. So it got a pandemic even if it’s a phony one.

If the Swine Flu scam doesn't work, the World Health Organization will try more creative fundraising techniques

It’s panic time at the World Health Organization. Avian flu flopped. And SARS generated more headlines than deaths. WHO wants a pandemic. It needs a pandemic. So it got a pandemic even if it’s a phony one.

But what’s a blood-sucking bureaucracy supposed to do when its funding depends on fear and their best and brightest hopes for human death sputter out?

Michael Fumento explains:

In 2005 (WHO) rewrote the definition of “influenza pandemic,” which formerly required “enormous numbers of deaths and illness.” Under its new definition, a handful of cases and zero deaths can nonetheless constitute a “pandemic.” And that’s pretty much what we’ve seen. The term “influenza pandemic” has simply lost any truly useful meaning.

Thanks, WHO, for putting politics and self-interest above the interests of public health.

“WHO lied. No one died.”

56,000 died from the flu in 2006 with no presidential hand-washing, no presidential hand-wringing

Swine Flu, the greatest threat to the future of mankind since the birth of the evil George Bush.
Swine Flu, the greatest threat to the future of mankind since the birth of the evil George Bush.
When Rahm Emanuel said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” we had no idea how far they’d dumb down the definition of the word crisis.

Apparently a crisis is now defined as anything important enough to wake Larry King up in the middle of his program.

Here’s how CNSNews.com describes the reality of the croup du jour:

So far this year, only one person–a baby visiting from Mexico–has died of swine flu in the United States, but more than 56,000 people died from the flu in the United States in 2006, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the CDC. In 2005, the flu killed 63,001 people here. But the deaths did not merit presidential statements or admonishments on hand-washing.

But it’s a crisis, damn it. The World Health Organization is already predicting a second wave of scratchy throats and we’re already predicting a second wave of governmental crisis mongering.
