Conyers to Sebelius: Don't Give Away U.S. H1N1 Vaccine Supply to Foreign Countries...
CNS News ^ | 10/30/09 | staff

(CNSNews.com) – House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) said the Obama administration should not donate any of the nation’s H1N1 vaccine supply to foreign countries--as it originally planned to do--before there is enough vaccine to cover those Americans most at-risk from H1N1 flu.

Conyers was asked by CNSNews.com outside the Capitol on Thursday whether the Obama administration should go ahead with its plans to donate some of the U.S. vaccine supply to foreign countries before the U.S. had enough vaccine to cover the 150 million Americans who are most at risk from the H1N1 virus.

I have no problem with them selling it to other countries, but not giving it away. I won’t get injected with the stuff, the Euros can have my dose for a price.

I asked my Dr. last night if he’s seeing a lot of the flu and he said” not too much”. I then asked if there’s a big demand for the vaccine and he said” huge”. Last question was do you have enough? He laughed.
I don’t want them selling it or giving it away.

I heard a report this week that the detainees at Gitmo will all get a dose whether there is enough for U.S. citizens or not.
