Sen. Roland Burris, D-Il., thinks swine flu is giving pork a bad name. So at Wednesday's Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, Burris asked Anne Schuchat, the Center for Disease Control's interim deputy director for science and public health programs, if health officials could give the disease a new name.
"I've been in contact with pork producers in the great state of Illinois and they're requesting that we come up with some other name for this influenza or this virus because they call it swine flu but you always hear the reports saying it has nothing to do with swine," Burris said.
Schuchat told the junior senator from Illinois that health officials call the disease H1N1 influenza. Burris was unimpressed.
"That's not sexy," he responded.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano disagreed.
"I just call it H1N1," she told the committee. "And actually after you say H1N1 a few times, it does roll off the tongue."
