Shut. The. Fuck. Up. About. Swine. Flu. Seriously.

You can't compare this pandemic to that one because this one is so much deadlier. You can't compare this to 1918 because the climate of the world is different and we have advanced so much in technology since then. COVID has killed so many more Americans. And it happened on *YOUR* watch, Pence. *YOU* own this. And you cannot blame Obama for your failures. This was the biggest fuck up by any president in American history. A real president would have prepared better for the COVID onslaught, but your boss mocked it and called it a hoax. So yeah, this is on you. Fuck off.

10. 12K (in a year) was the estimate- Vaccine was ready by the fall

But to this day I only know of one person who said that they had it and life was so normal that year that after April/May I totally forgot it was a thing and the media barely reported on it. We even went to Disney World that year.


One of the things I DO remember about that year was that it took the Swine Flu to finally get Senate Republicans to stop blocking the confirmation of Kathleen Sibelius to the post of HHS

11. Thank you......and I guess I didn't really realize how many did died from it

because my life wasn’t impacted. So.......

12. Year and a half, really.

Most people probably don't remember it being a thing that happened.

It is a really bad thing to bring up in comparison with covid19. The economy didn't have to shutdown, millions of people didn't lose their jobs, 200k+ people didn't die in 6 months.

13. Right

3. Don't forget that Swine flu happened shortly after Obama took office

He was left with the supplies and procedures that Bush had. Bush had run things down. Obama built up our defenses so that by Ebola we were ready.

4. These points

Are ones maggot wants out there.

[Initech]

8. Yes, all they do is blame Obama for their failures.

They can't blame their way out of this one.

[treestar]

5. Then was when president Obama

Set up the panel to prepare. And Dotard dismisses it.

7. Yup, it only takes one jackass with a wrecking ball to tear it all down.

6. That's all they got.
