According to the CDC, the seasonal flu infects 15 to 60 million Americans each year, hospitalizes about 200,000 & KILLS about 36,000. That's 800+ hospitalizations & over 250 DEATHS EACH DAY during flu season.

There's panic in the streets over a flu outbreak. "Projections are that this virus will kill 1 million Americans," the nation's top health official has warned.

The virus is swine flu. But the date is 1976. And the projection, it turns out, is off by 999,999 deaths. Direct ones, that is. The hastily developed vaccine killed or crippled hundreds. Sadly, the current hysteria outbreak threatens devastation on a worldwide scale.
