WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first roll-out of vaccines against the new swine flu virus will be 3.4 million doses of MedImmune's needle-free nose spray, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday. The CDC's Dr Jay Butler said the vaccines would be distributed the first week of October. "Initially we anticipate that 3.4 million doses of vaccine will be available," Butler told a telephone briefing. "We estimate that the amount of vaccine that will be available will increase through October." He said eventually delivery would rise to about 20 million doses a week. The United States has ordered 195 million doses of H1N1 swine flu vaccine from five companies -- MedImmune, a unit of AstraZeneca, Sanofi-Aventis, Australia's CSL, GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis.

"MedImmune's needle-free nose spray"

Somebody's making some dough off of this.

Does the spray come with a martial law order?

The first vaccines are the hardest to get people to take. After that, why, people will just look more and more forward to the absolute joy of receiving that which makes everything - absolutely everything - seem so much better and under control, and clear and defined, and correct and obedient, and comfortably compliant, and instructive, and may I have my next vaccine now?

NO, snort first. Martial Law later, when we all get sick.

Before they shove it up my nose, they can shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Just say No. Don’t do it, either via nose or needle.

This is not an extraordinary flu strain, just the usual, according to several medical and scientific sources.

Actually, that’s very plausible. Scary.

I’m sure the anti-vaccine zealot nutball woo-woos will be just as afraid of the inhaled vaccine.

Especially scary is how they want to reduce population size in order to save the planet.

Wouldn't surprise me if "something goes wrong" with the vaccine, causing deaths.

Martial Law for 0 would just be his icing on the cake.

Does this mean you will be receiving yours up your anal orifice?

It is crazy talk - but with this administration, crazy happens every day.

I hope they make it clear to those taking it that the mists are “live” virus forms of vaccine. I have MS, and the NMSS definitely warns against taking a live virus vaccine. The killed vaccines are okay.

You aren’t concerned that they haven’t released the ingredient list? For example I can’t have MSG, and that is in some brands of flu shots. It is important to know what they want to inject/spray into us.

I get the flu shot every year. The main risk is one GBS case per million doses. Compared with 34,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations per year from flu, the risk is acceptable.

You can't have MSG? That's not just the flu shot; that's a LOT of different foods as well. How much MSG sets it off?

The H1N1 vaccine is being tested now, and it is being made in the same manner as the standard shot. Had it appeared several months earlier, it would have just been another component of the standard shot. If you've had the regular flu shot before, the H1N1 should be about the same for you.

People still have a choice as to whether they take vaccines or not. Do you want the flu vaccination to be mandatory and forced? That’s scary.

I have never taken a flu shot in my life and don’t plan to. I like having the freedom to make the choice.

I am very pro-vaccine but will not be taking this one until a few million others have tried it first and we have seen some of the results.

Yes, for me it causes heart a-fib. It has to be in high doses, like Chinese food and broths/stocks from the grocery store. However, the MSG would be put directly into my bloodstream with a shot. I’m not willing to take that chance. I’m getting over the flu now. I’ve had it for 24 hours and I’ve successfully fought it off with probiotics and hydrogen peroxide laced nasal rinses.
