Is WorldNetDaily trying to kill Americans by instilling fear of a swine flu vaccine? It seems so.
An Aug. 31 WND article touting the latest Jerome Corsi Red Alert report claims that “he White House trying to cause a panic over a possible H1N1 virus that could inflict massive illness and death on the American people.” The goal, WND suggests, is “to use the pandemic panic to create enough fear that the American public will acquiesce to the passage of Obamacare.”
Corsi and WND engage in more fearmongering, claiming that “a massive public relations program launched by the federal Center for Disease Control aimed possibly at creating the atmosphere in which U.S. citizens could be forced to take H1N1 vaccinations against their will” (emphasis added).WND ignores the possibility that such a campaign could possibly be aimed at saving lives.
The article also states: “Neurologists around the world have been warned to watch out for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or GBS, which was generated by a similar swine flu vaccine administered by the government by the Ford administration in 1976.” In fact, the 1976 vaccine was never definitively linked to GBS, which also “may be an extremely rare reaction to any vaccination.”
The article then states:
“Red Alert intends to closely watch how the H1N1 scare is handled by the White House,” Corsi wrote. “With the Obama administration intent on the government taking over major sectors of the private economy, we are concerned the swine-flu pandemic scare is simply another component of that socialist agenda.”
So what happens if low vaccination rates result in a swine flu epidemic? Can we hold Corsi and WND liable for causing the deaths of Americans by their fearmongering?
