Pretty convincing evidence that the Centers for Disease Control is deliberating understating the number of swine flu cases in order to avoid a public demand that vaccinations take place before school starts across America.

If accurate the current number of cases is more like 800,000 than the CDC’s reported number of around 50,000. The CDC’s current plan seems to be to downplay the actual number of cases while moving to work with school districts and state health authorities to beef up the pipeline for a vaccination regime should infection flare-ups manifest themselves.
