Check out ABC News reporter Jake Tappen call out White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on his pathetic attempt to try and spin Vice President Joe Biden’s comments on avoiding subways and airlines as a means of avoiding the swine flu. Even the reporters had to laugh at this…..
I’ve always wondered why on Earth Barack Obama picked Joe Biden to be his VP. There must have been strategic gains that overcome Biden’s infamous tendency to put his foot in his mouth. Regardless, it makes for great comedy. Here’s the Vice President of the United States on the Today Show this morning doing his best to further panic the sheeple over the swine flu. Stay away from the airplanes and subway cars people.
Keep in mind, while watching this, that there was 1 death from the swine flu of 1976, and 30+ deaths from the swine flu shot. Back in 1976, the U.S. government had to produce these ominous public service announcements on their own. These days, the media handles that part of it.
Some much needed perspective for the latest media-induced “health crisis.”
Mass vaccinations started in October, but within weeks reports started coming in of people developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing nerve disease, right after taking the shot. Within two months, 500 people were affected, and more than 30 died. Amid a rising uproar and growing public reluctance to risk the shot, federal officials abruptly canceled the program Dec. 16.
