Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh spoke about the “hype” of HN1N1 virus and in doing so, claimed that AIDS in Africa is “hyped” too so that “they” can get some of that sweet AIDS donation money. Dr. Rush claimed that everything in Africa is called AIDS (near the 2:00 mark). He makes the argument that if simple colds and the regular, less lethal flu are classified as the swine flu, the money will flow.
And who exactly would be making money off of the supposed hype of the HN1N1 virus? My guess is that it would be the pharmaceutical companies that are working in overdrive producing enough of the vaccine. It is the pharmaceutical companies that would me getting rich because of a false fear over the threat of a HN1N1 pandemic.
So does that mean Rush is speaking out against the pharmaceutical industry?
Rush then goes on to speak about U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and how his IQ is three times higher than her IQ and that he is much more “informed, educated, and smart” than she is. That’s interesting in that Rush is a college dropout while Sebelius not only graduated college, she went on to earn a Master’s degree.
How exactly is Rush better educated than Sebelius?
I actually find most of what Limbaugh has to say about any given topic quite entertaining. Though I disagree with 99.99% of the stuff he says, I cannot help but admit that he is a master as what he does. Nobody comes close to his level of skill at talking into a microphone for three hours a day. I think most of what he says is quite harmless. The problem is when he talks about something such as the HN1N1 virus. The swine flu is not something to fool around with. In 1918, a massive swine flu pandemic took place and an estimated 50 to 100 million people died worldwide. If even one person heard his rant about the supposed hype and then decided not to go and get a swine flu shot, that is one person too many.

Obviously, Rush is trying to marry one woman for each same sex marriage conducted in the U.S. Cause nothing protects the “sanctity of marriage” like doing it with tons of people.
