    Nazi's invade other countries without provocation, like your pals Bush and Cheney did. And if you're against so-called "socalism" then go find your own H1N1 vaccine and stop DEPENDING on the government for one.

    "How, and why do the U.S Government allow this chaos?" It's called 6 years of one-party rule under the Bush/Cheney GOP regime circa 2001-2007.

    http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/updates/us/

    Hospitalizations 26,315
    Deaths 1,049

    That's well below the number of deaths from the regular flu each year. Just more scare tactics..

Our children are forced to sit in class rooms with the children of ilegal aliens. illegal aliens have babies at our hospitals, and there children automatically become U.S Citizens, something is wrong with this... Citizens from the U.S can't just waltz into Mexico,or any country south of the border, and stand on there streets, or have babies in there hospitals who instantly become citizens. I dare any U.S citizen to go to Mexico and demand "their civil rights". How, and why do the U.S Government allow this chaos. More U.S Citizens have died in the past 4 years in the U.S, then all number of Troops, in both Afghanistan, and Iraq... We are at war, the scary thing is most of us don't even know it...

    Seasonal Average wrote on November 26, 2009 05:25 AM: And how many have died from the seasonal flu? When H1N1 reaches the 30,000+ a year that seasonal flu kills, then maybe we can be worried. Otherwise, just more scare tactics to keep the populace fearful and to promote the health care Nazis pushing nationalized programs.
