You might remember Michael Crichton's fiction novel "The Andromeda Strain" about the epidemic spread of a deadly virus. My memory of the book was (spoiler alert) it ended with the self-destruct mechanism of the compound where the scientists and laboratories were was canceled with forty five seconds remaining. In typical Hollywood fashion, the subsequent movie (1971) opted for a mere eight seconds to spare before the labs would have been blown up, spreading the disease they'd finally contained.
Then you probably recall the movie "Outbreak" (1995) with an all-star cast, including Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, Renee Russo, Kevin Spacey, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Donald Sutherland. The plot is characterized on the Internet movie database this way: "Extreme measures are necessary to contain an epidemic of a deadly airborne virus. But how extreme, exactly?"
In 2008, "Andromeda Strain" was released as a TV mini-series, with this description: "A crack team of top scientists work feverishly in a secret, state-of-the-art laboratory to discover what has killed the citizens of a small town and learn how this deadly contagion can be stopped."
Not that any of these should be considered machinations by Hollywood to incubate fear into the public for subsequent flu virus outbreaks...
But if it isn't enough for you to see the results of a web search for "truth flu shot" or "swine flu hoax", this eight minute video should give you good reason that the fear mongering and panic seeding is absolutely intentional.
