I read 350 known cases 16 deaths. But we are not really testing much so we don’t know the truth.
Did you express any concerns about "not testing much" or not knowing "the truth" during the 2009 pandemic, Brad?
Allow me to present you with some relevant facts:
In 2009, H1N1 became a pandemic.
Months later, in October, B. Hussein Obama declared a public health emergency.
By that time, the disease had already infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 Americans had already succumbed.
Yes, that's right. Between the time the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, 2009, and October, 2009, when Obama finally acted, millions of people in the United States had been infected, at least 20,000 had been hospitalized, and more than 1,000 had already died, according to Dr. Thomas Frieden, who was then Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Frieden fretted at the time because official efforts to create a vaccine had failed.
He said, "We are nowhere near where we thought we would be. As public health professionals, vaccination is our strongest tool. Not having enough is frustrating to all of us."
Dr.Frieden added that while the way vaccine is manufactured is "tried and true," it's not well-suited for ramping up production during a pandemic because it takes at least six months, to produce vaccines, which are made by growing weakened virus in eggs.
But wait, there's more.
According to Virology Journal, the 2009 H1N1 entered the USA from Mexico: "The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in 2009 and was first found in human beings in Mexico, is a reassortant with at least three parents. Six of the genes are closest in sequence to those of H1N2 'triple-reassortant' influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America around 1999-2000".
In 2015, there was a new H1N1 outbreak in the country. Who was still in the White House then, Brad?
