NASCAR fans are a threat?

[kallend 2,184]

the House Committee on Homeland Security
decided to study public health preparedness at mass gatherings. They advised aides to get immunized for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus and influenza before going to the UAW-Ford 500 in Talladega last weekend and the Bank of America 500 this weekend northeast of Charlotte, N.C.
The committee is examining whether the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is coordinating with state, local and private law-enforcement
and health-care responders to prepare for possible mass emergencies.

Those NASCAR fans!

Now this is a unique perspective from what one idiot senator said

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln

They are a threat. They drink beer and like guns. Are skydivers next?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

A couple of these aren't spread by mass gatherings and seem a bit out of place. And when did someone last get diphtheria? Or are all the rednecks refusing to immunize their children and relying on the fact that most will, which wouldn't be true if they all met in one place?

Of course, you forgot to mention that these people were going to be visiting the on-site medical/trauma units and area hospitals.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

And when did someone last get diphtheria?

Last reported case in the US - 2003.
