Faulty Data: Swine Flu Was Not National Emergency

According to rushlimbaugh.com

RUSH: Look at this! Looky here! "Swine flu far less severe in latest calculations." Hoax and Change. You mean to tell me after all of this -- remember Kathleen Sebelius? "You must take the vaccine, you must do this. We've got a national pandemic on the way here." You mean to tell me now that swine flu was not a national emergency? Hoax and change. Faulty data seems to be a theme these days, whether it's about jobs created or saved, whether it's about global warming, whether it's about Obamacare being deficit neutral or swine flu deaths. President Obama seems to deal exclusively in lies. "The calculations represent a marked reduction from an August report by the President's Council of Advisories on Science and Technology." Well, hubba hubba! There's no swine flu problem. Whoa.

According to usatoday.com:

A team of researchers from the USA and Britain on Monday dramatically scaled back estimates of the severity of the swine flu epidemic.

The analysis suggests that the death rate from the current wave of H1N1 flu cases probably will fall in a range that extends from far lower to slightly higher than the estimate of 36,000 deaths caused by seasonal flu in a typical year.
