From the people who brought us the swine flu vaccine shortage - Government-run health care! UPDATED
The Examiner ^ | 10/24/09 | Mark Tapscott

Posted on 10/25/2009 3:53:53 PM PDT by george76

Obama's late-night declaration of a nationwide public health emergency last night shouldn't be allowed to obscure the most important lesson of the developing swine flu crisis - The same government that only weeks ago promised abundant supplies of swine flu vaccine by mid-October will be running your health care system under Obamacare.

On Sept. 13, Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, told ABC's This Week program that the government was on schedule to deliver an "ample supply" of swine flu vaccine by mid-October:

"We're on track to have an ample supply rolling by the middle of October. But we may have some early vaccine as early as the first full week in October. We'll get the vaccine out the door as fast as it rolls off the production line."

But here we are five weeks later and news reports are coming in from across the nation of long waiting lines of people wanting the shot, but being turned away because of grossly inadequate supplies.

I believe a FReeper had done just that. Sorry, I don't remember the name. Maybe some other poster will.

If yer blood ain't boiling yet, let me help :-)
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com Wednesday that one in 10 doses of the swine-flu vaccine purchased by the U.S. will be donated to other nations before the U.S. demand for the vaccine is filled.

Sebelius also told a Senate committee that vaccine production is well behind demand.

“What we said is once we have 40 million doses (of the vaccine), the donation can start,” Sebelius told CNSNews.com. “There’s an agreement (of) 10 percent donation that 11 nations have made,” she said.

HHS has ordered about 250 million doses of the vaccine, so the donation would begin after the U.S. received just 16 percent of its original order. Sebelius made the remarks at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on the government's preparations for dealing with the H1N1 flu virus outbreak. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also provided testimony at the hearing.

The nation’s top health bureaucrat said the government would still donate to foreign nations part of the stock of vaccine purchased by the U.S. government despite delays in getting the vaccine to American citizens, which she said puts the nation “at the point where demand is ahead of the yield.”

The nobama administration's planning ability just absolutely sucks big time. They can't plan for shit!

Thanks, George76. In my area, there is a shortage of seasonal flu vaccine, also.

This is just information and yes I am concerned about the flu and what it's effects are on a person.  There are some 15 strains each and this one is no more virulent than others.

 

Here is something I wrote in August.  Weird!  I was correct, somewhat.  There are only 11 million doses available as of October 24 -2009

By October there were suppose to be somewhere between 42 million  and 150 million doses available, which were to be distributed by medical professionals to those with underlying medical conditions (diabetes, etc) which make them more at risk.

But like SARS, Bird Flu and the other bunk pandemics that never occurred, this is just a media campaign for the drug companies, who do in fact work with the government, so they can sell more of this drug.

 

Vaccines have proven successful in eradicating many diseases and staving off others.

 

The Piggly Wiggly vaccine was not rushed into production(Hear me out).  We had the swine flu in 1976 and a vaccine for it.  However, there more people suffered from the side effects of the vaccine itself, than died from the swine flu itself.

 

The current version of vaccine has not been rushed, so much as it has been repackaged, with production ramping up to meet the flu season.

 

There have been no human trials to test for efficacy and the percentage of expected relief.

 

There have been no human trials to determine what the side effects are and what the expected census numbers might be for each side effect.

 

Further, the state of Washington has approved the use of mercury as a transmitting medium.  What are the side effects of injecting a human with mercury?  How many children will come down with autism as a result?

 

To compound all this Tom Foolery many state departments of health are issuing statements of caution regarding the severity of the flu.

 

The State of Idaho issued a statement that, in effect, said the swine may not be any more virulent than any other strain, of which there as many as 15 each flu season.  They further stated that studies have shown that swine flu is milder than previously thought and that most victims will recover faster than if they had other strains.

 

There is no reason to take the shot. NONE.  You are being scammed by the drug companies.

 

Let's get some things real clear about some things.(don’t worry about my syntax or English.  I wrote it this way on purpose)

They have been indemnified by the government from any and all law suits. If their drug causes injury to you and your loved one, are you willing to forgo your right to sue for injury or death? You don't care? Oh?  Well  it is your life, but you should know they have not done any trials to measure efficacy rates or percentage of expected side effects or what those side effects will be.

 

The swine flu is not new.

However, be aware of there was swine flu experiment in 1976 and the complications from that little fiasco? Well more people came down with Gulliane Barr Syndrome than got sick with the swine flu.

 

That's right more than 5,000 people were permanently paralyzed with many others suffering ill effects of a really bad idea, gone wrong.

 

Hope it doesn't happen to you or your family but who knows.

 

The drug companies have done no testing and you won't find out until afterward. Now check this; The drug companies are so smart and have done so much testing, They cannot figure out if you need 1 shot, 2 shots or 3 shots.

 

Yep, at first they were saying a single dose will suffice. Well, since they are indemnified why not say "you may require a booster shot" to ensure the effectiveness. Now for the last three weeks they have been saying "You may require 3 shots". Why?  No risk $$$$

 

WHO is lying:

Our own Centers for Disease Control are not giving sanction to the World Health Organization wildly dubious claims:

        have fun with this article, it is lengthy

 

        Maybe this report from CBS news is indicative of the overblowing of this SCAM FLU:

 

The mortality rates for Swine Flu/H1N1 are less than 1% of infected cases.  Does this strike you as something you need an experimental drug for?

 

Hell there is money in this and as far as the company is concerned it is free money.

They cannot be sued and this is a zero/no risk opportunity for the executives and shareholders. Oh and if that weren't enough, there are so many doctors and Secretaries of Health saying in effect:

 

                    "The swine flu is not as virulent as first thought. In fact, the effects are milder than other strains of the flu and recovery seems to be quicker"

                    (Idaho Department of Health)sic.

 

It is not new and many people took vaccinations for it in the Mid 70's.  There were many who suffered terribly.

 

The Current scam for immunization by the Drug Companies exempts them from lawsuit.

 

Why?  "No human trials have been done to determine efficacy or mortality rates."

 

Watch the first video.  It is only 3 minutes long and will leave you informed about your plan and choices should this "Pandemic" actually appear.

As an aside I spent 10 days in Mexico and it sucked having the entire country shut down but, believe me, I shook every hombres hand and hugged the Senoritas(cuz I like em').

 

Know what? I know I met at least 100 people that live down there year round and the only thing any one caught was fish. The flu can kill and good hygiene is your friend. But taking an injection with ZERO expectation of  both  sides of the coin and indemnifying the producers?

 

Crazy?

Dear Governor Perry,

On March 30, 2009 the Texas House of Representatives passed HCR 50 affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.

You have publicly supported this bill, and stated that attorney generals from all over the union could be getting ready to sue the US Government.

We are asking you to take the lead.

We are asking you to order the Texas Attorney General to publicly begin working on a law suit under Article IV, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.

We are asking you to protect the citizens of Texas that we will not stand for government controlled healthcare in our state.

Under your leadership we can effectively kill the proposal of this administration and allow Texas to be a state free from socialism and collectivism.

Be the voice of reason in the national debate and allow Texans the ability to solve the problems of our state.

Thank you,

(Signature Date)

Facts about the 10th Amendment:

The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.

HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!
Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.

Take Action! Before it is too late!

Feds Have Built Only 32 Miles of 700 Mile Double-Border Fence Originally Mandated by Congress

“One reason DHS has been able to do this is an amendment that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchison’s amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.”
