Should posts like the one NuclearFart posted be swept under the rug for fear mongering?

It is fear mongering if people can't actually do what he wants them to do if they want to avoid the worst case scenerio - which is all it is... a worst case scenerio. That does not mean the same thing as being a fact. Just look at Austrailia where H1N1 flu season was much less drastic than how it was previously predicted to be. Predicting a best case scenerio is just as much of a "fact" as predicting a worst case scenerio... so yeah, I'd say it's still fear mongering.
It would be like coming on here and saying that 1/5 people here will get cancer and so everyone should halt everything and get tested... and if they don't they are going to break our medical system with their treatments. Could that happen... yeah... but that doesn't make it fact.
