Record Numbers Line Up for Flu Shots as Media Hypes the Flu ‘Epidemic’

Check out these people in Plano, Texas lined up to get a free flu shot a few days ago:

This report comes from ABC-affiliate WFAA8 out of Dallas, Texas. It begins with, “A deadly flu outbreak in North Texas has spurred demand for vaccinations. A free flu shot clinic in Plano on Saturday afternoon was overwhelmed with hundreds of people seeking the immunization…”

It ends with, “The Centers for Disease Control reports that influenza is currently ‘widespread’ across Texas and in most other states. There have been at least 32 flu-related deaths reported in North Texas this season — 26 in Dallas County, three in Denton County, two in Tarrant County, and one in Wise County.”

A picture gallery shows flu clinics flooded with people, and the top five news stories on the whole entire news channel are all about how deadly and scary the flu is.

“Woman nearly dies”…”expectant mother with flu loses child”…”when to go to the emergency room”… Even the news channel’s side bar has a special section entitled, “Flu and Swine Flu Video,” which looks like a fun way to spend an afternoon.

If you only got your news from this local source, you might think the whole world was coming to an end and people are dropping dead from the flu left and right in some sci-fi movie flu-ocalypse scenario.

And this is just one news channel of hundreds that predictably operate this way during flu season each and every year…

A flawed headline ? Imagine that.

The media isn't reporting it as an epidemic, and nothing in the blog claims it is.

The Texas media is reporting the number of flu deaths during flu season. Big surprise.

A free flu shot clinic had a wait. Scandalous!

The Mercola / Jones crazies are far more guilty than manufacturing hysteria than the main stream media is, something I would have never thought possible.

If you only got your news from this local source, you might think the whole world was coming to an end and people are dropping dead from the flu left and right in some sci-fi movie flu-ocalypse scenario.

That's coming from people who think that vaccines kill us, the government controls our minds, GMO is deadly and the Illuminati are pulling all the strings. Awesome!

Good morning Sunshine.

I can relate to this story because a year ago I was in Texas and all the media were hysterical about the so-called epidemic last year too.

I didn't get a vaccine, I was visiting two hospitals (one just happened to be in Plano, Tx) where even the medical staff were hysterical about the so-called epidemic and pushing that dagum flu shot. I was on 10,000 IU's of Vitamin D and 90 essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids and thankfully was able to escape the so-called epidemic.

God I love your logic.

You know what? The overwhelming majority of people in Texas were not taking all those money-wasters, and guess what? They didn't get the flu either!

"Free flu shots"... that's a good one. So uh, how much did it cost?
