The World Health Organization has rejected allegations that the H1N1 pandemic is fake, stressing that it has not overplayed the risks of this new influenza. The UN Agency's top pandemic expert, Dr. Keiji Fukuda on Thursday said the description of it as fake is both wrong and irresponsible. Mr. Fukuda stressed that the WHO has been balanced in providing information to the public about the pandemic, and it has not underplayed or overplayed the risks of the pandemic. So far about 13,000 people worldwide has been killed directly by the H1N1 flu virus
