Fact-Check: Obama Waited Until 'Millions' Infected and 1000 Dead in U.S. Before Declaring H1N1 Emer

Reality sucks, eh.

...

Now, let's go to the Wayback Machine. In April of 2009, the H1N1 became a pandemic.

But it wasn't until six months later, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.

CNN reported at the time:



Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [emphasis added]

Furthermore, the CDC's Frieden fretted at the time that efforts to create a vaccine had stumbled:



"We are nowhere near where we thought we would be," Frieden said, acknowledging that manufacturing delays have contributed to less vaccine being available than expected. "As public health professionals, vaccination is our strongest tool. Not having enough is frustrating to all of us."


Frieden said 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. The vaccine is produced by growing weakened virus in eggs.

this is one of those cricket threads

 

Several of our leftists have dug up reality reboots on that which were issued by -- I think -- The Daily KOS or MSNBC; and presented, mind you, with a straight face. History . . . if you cannot tolerate it then rewrite it. I think that should become a leftist campaign slogan.

 

NO! NO! Not a thousand! I've been told that obummer only let a few hundred die & a couple million get sick before he did anything.

 

Our political Left very definitely never let the historical facts get in the way of their higher TRUTHS; which is that their Lord God Barack Obama was always perfect in every way.

 

ReCHECK ONLY 556 TOTAL deaths in USA from H1N1virus.

 

I seem to recall states implementing their own quarantines because Obama was so inept.

 

A) This is not a current event.

B) It is absolute bullshit. The October Declaration was the second National Emergency Declaration made in response to the H1N1 pandemic from that year. The first one happened in APRIL.

Then look at the thousands killed by Ebola.

obama cared less, the dems cared about nothing

 

This is one of those fake news threads.

 

What’s untrue about it?

 

It seems it obviously is. It is certainly not a current event.

 

See post #8

 

This is going to be much, much worse than H1N1. Some of the people here need to stop and think: why is the world freaking out over this, but not H1N1? Why didn't the market freak out over it?

Because one is a flu virus and the other is a SARS virus. You guys will see, shortly.

 

....when you say "thousands," do you mean "four?"

But that’s not fake...all your reply was how worse it for after Obama declared a national emergency...

what didn’t happen? Is the GOP make political.

 

11k died.
Sick you and Obama didn’t care about Africans

 

The *******n title of the thread is objectively fake. A national emergency was declared in April, i.e. not "waited until millions infected and 1000 dead."

 

....whatever. That's ****ing a desperate argument and you know that neither you nor trump give two shits about the thousands killed by the virus in China, Iran, South Korea, etc.

 

This is an OPINION Piece, from an Extreme RW Blog.



An outrageous mischaracterization.

This sort of stuff belongs in Conspiracy or Humor.:smh:

 

It is desperate when you have to use blocked out words

 

One other aspect. The Chinese economy is now FOUR times what it was back then. Down here, we are feeling an impact on the national wallet. That will happen in the USA as well.

 

^ The truth comes out.

 

Trump on handling of coronavirus...

Gallup Poll numbers on the handling of this situation are outstanding, the best. Thank you!

Its possible they don't care about all of those Africans?
