Hey, do you remember the H1N1 virus that everyone was freaking out over? Do you remember how critical the vaccine shortage was and how thousands of people were supposed to die from lack of vaccinations for a flu that is less fatal than the normal winter flu? Yeah, as it turns out not only was it not worth all the fuss, it was also a waste of time and money as millions of doses of H1N1 vaccine have been allowed to expire and will now be destroyed.
Well, part of me is irritated at all the hype for something not worth the trouble, but part of me is really angry that millions of dollars were wasted trying to combat an artificially-inflated public hysteria. I mean, that’s vaccination-making time that could have been better spent doing, I don’t know, measles shots? Smallpox vaccines? Anything other than pumping out garlic and onions-flavored swine-flu shots!
