Channel 9 news scare tactics.
For those who have seen channel 9s preview of tomorrows new, not sure which program just said Channel 9 News, they are running a story tomorrow about the "Second wave of Swine Flu", now WTF are they trying to do. There is no second wave of swine flu, hell there was hardly a first wave. How slow is news when they have to blatantly make crap up, in order to scare the community.
Have your say on the matter.
EDIT: Title meant to read "Channel 9 News scare tactics"

the fears are being spread by politicians.... they have a MASSIVE surplus of vaccine, that is going to be out of date before spring..... they want to put the fear of imminent death into us so that the masses will trample everything in their path to get to their GP for a dose of the vaccine.

I ain't getting the vaccine, quite a few customers at work have had it, and while most have been OK, a couple have been sick as for the next week.
