Pandemic Flu a Left Wing Plot?
Freepers think the looming pandemic flu is a left-wing plot. Go to www.freerepublic.com and search H5N1 to see comments.

H5N1 pandemic flu is very real and the current case fatality rate is 70-80% (which means that if you go into the hospital with H5N1 avian flu, the odds are 3-1 against coming out alive)

http://www.recombinomics.com/H5N1_case_mortality_rate.html

WHO has said the pandemic is inevitable and have predicted infections in 1/3 to 1/4 of the world's population, which could translate into 1 Billion deaths (that's with a "B", not an "M")

Freepers think the WHO's dire warnings are just left-wing propaganda.

1. How can one
really contemplate what freepers "think"?

They believe what they want to, (or are told to) period.

They don't tend to really think in the critical sense, so thinking about what they think can be a lesson in futility.

Freeper One: "Oh gosh, I feel so sick. Moan! This flu is killing me!"

Freeper Two: "Naw! You ain't sick. You're just being mind-controlled by Left-wingers! Let's pray."

>>so thinking about what they think can be a lesson in futility.<<

I guess I should have said Freepers post that the pandemic flu is a Left-wing conspiracy.
