Historic swine flu: An army recruit died at Fort Dix and died, and later 4 others were hospitalized. Health officials said it was like the 1918 epidemic, and the public wanted President Gerald Ford to give the public vaccine. He did, and it took along time for the vaccines to get on the line. When the program stopped, about 24% of the people have been vaccinated.

I think that the Obama Administration should release vaccines. The people are worried, and the press is just fulling the fire. If they release vaccines, the public will calm down. The Obama Administration should also tell people to calm down a little.

Speech:

There were a lot of talking about the swine flu. It started in Mexico and in Mexico, about 150 people have died so far. The flu made its way around the world into other countries in Europe, and Asia. There are now 50 cases of the flu in the U.S right now. We all don't a global epidemic. To prevent this, I want all Americans to stay home if you think you have this flu. I discourage people to go to the hospital because infections spread easily there. If you don't want to get it, we are releasing vaccines for everyone to have for free. I do not want you to panic about the swine flu. This will not be like the flu during 1918 which killed thousands. I want to assure everyone will be fine and that this infection will not spread in our country.
