He asked me if I heard about it on the news, I told him I had briefly but I didn't really care, which is true, I hadn't given it any thought before.
"You're smarter than most of these idiots, then," is what he said to me. Swine flu has not been immunized against, but while it CAN be fatal, it also can be treated quite easily. In other words, this whole panic is just another ploy by the media to get ratings by driving the public completely insane. Past the year 2000, crime in America decreased a lot, but media coverage of existing crime increased by 400%, so we think there's a "crime wave." The media conglomerates should be shot. In the head. With a 12-gauge.
I love your doctor and would nothing more but to get a massive needle shoved through my arm from him.
