We have known about the H1N1 (Swine Flu), risk for many months now. We knew that last spring's outbreak would turn into a more virulent strain by this fall. That is all basic science. Concerned for our citizens, the government recognized the need to produce substantial volumes of vaccine. We have spent more than $2.2B for H1N1 Swine flu. To date, only a minor amount of this vaccine has been delivered, but concern seems muted. Despite new vaccine manufacturing technologies, we persist in using outdated methods and to spend huge sums of money in a wasteful manner. Why?

But somehow this is still Bush’s fault.

Of course, you will never see or hear this headline from the MSM.

If it was Bush (or any other Republican), we would have a new nightly body count to enjoy.

Ask where the busses are, Shep! Demand them!

I believe my son is just starting to come down with this. He is warm and his body is shaking.

[VRWC For Truth]

Lemme guess the vaccine is made in CHINA.

Walgreens was advertising this stuff months ago. Nobody wanted it. Now suddenly everybody wants it.

[dalereed]

Only 1000, what’s the worry???

[alice_in_bubbaland]

How can you tell if it’s H1N1 or the regular flu???

Call the Dr. in the am.

Good Luck to you and you son!

Shivering is common with any fever. This is how the body adjusts itself to the new “normal” temperature. I offer you and the boy my prayers; however children usually recover from this without lasting ill effects. Keep a close eye on him until he’s better, against the unlikely possibility of life threatening complications like lung congestion. There have been several cases of it in my church and no hospitalizations or casualties yet.

[HiTech RedNeck]

To be fair, this has to be compared with other flus.

[cranked]

Bush’s fault.......as par.......

[energylover]

A comparison to other flus is fair, except we normally don’t spend 2.2B on vaccine that will never arrive or $4B preparing resources to deal with pandemic.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Was the process like unto getting nine women pregnant in an effort to have a baby in one month?

[traditional1]

I wonder which major political donor was awarded the contract for the supply of the vaccine, and then got all the free PR when Democrats scream “Epidemic/National Emergency”, as people don’t want the damn vaccine and they have to FORCE them to take it (we already are paying for it via taxes).

My college-aged son got H1N1 a few weeks ago. He's got past that, however he's been left with pneumonia, which is responding well to antibiotics.

Massive amounts of TLC and all will be well - that's my layman's prescription. Young people are strong.

[beelzepug]

Never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.

[Shadowstrike]

uhm, is it just me or has the virus not mutated yet. The author of this piece makes an assumption.

Give me a break - this Administration are Malthusian Followers who will implement any type of Malthusian policy they possibly can to the point of 'not doing anything'.

Obama's science czar is all about population control.... if the Media is so upset about all of this...they need to honestly take a step back, get some facts, and understand this is one evil Administration.

Read Holdren's book...this man believes in EUGENICS. Holdren's book was published in 1977, "EcoScience". These Darwinian Psychos believe they are gods and can control population, the people, and create a Utopian world.

Wake up AMERICA!!
