'Under Canada's official pandemic plan, the entire population would ultimately be immunized against the H1N1 swine flu.'

'One of the challenges will be getting people to agree to the shots. There will be limited information about any vaccine's safety before immunization campaigns are rolled out across the country.'

experts say as Canadian officials decide who gets priority for the flu shots.

So those over 40 can just get sick - Looks like Obamacare where the "officials" make your health care decisions for you. It will be that an "official" will decide whether you live or die even if you have the money to pay for treatment yourself. After all when health care becomes a "right" then there will be an unlimited demand and it has to be allocated some way. Far better that the ninos of illegal immigrants get priority over the taxpayers who pay for it. That's one way of getting rid of cantankerous old farts like me who believe in outmoded things like the bill of rights and personal freedom.

Anyone know more about squalene in the flu shots? Not possible to test adequately, new vaccines in a few months...takes years. Squalene has been found to be causative of autoimmune responses to IM injection in the past. Squalene apparently is in the vaccine base of the new flu shots. Autoimmune means squalene IM causes the body to make antibodies to the bodies own naturally occurring squalene in various body tissues, thus the body now attacks its own tissues containing squalent...an autoimmune response that lasts forever.

Here is a search of “IM squalene and autoimmune” “IM” means intramuscular:

What about the polar bears? Shouldn’t they have first priority?

Seriously, they have to set up some kind of priorities, and I can’t fault them on this. The swine flu this spring did not cause many deaths, but no one knows what to expect when it mutates and returns in the fall.

Some kinds of flu tend to hit people with the strongest immune systems—i.e., between 5 and 40. That seems to have been the case with the Spanish flu and with reports of the swine flu in Mexico. So you can argue that this policy makes a certain amount of sense.

Although normally those over 65 or with compromised immune system get the first priority when regular flu shots are given in the fall—just the opposite of this policy.

So it all depends what kind of flu hits next fall. Frankly, we can only guess at this point.

Vaccinating the group that needs it most first?

Isn’t that racist?

Buffalo, NY:

Mother Speaks about Swine Flu Death

Posted By: Rachel Kingston Posted By: Claudine Ewing 1 min ago

When Matthew Davis was feeling ill at home just days before died, he asked his mom, ‘what is wrong with me, am I going to die,” recalled Lucretia Belton.

Belton is the mother of Davis. The 15-year old boy was scheduled to graduate from eighth grade at Harvey Austin School #97 in Buffalo on Wednesday. Instead the family will be attending his wake at Amigone Funeral Home in Buffalo.

Davis, according to his mother was healthy. “There was nothing wrong with my baby, no cold, not even a sniff,” said Belton.

In an interview with 2 On Your Side’s Claudine Ewing, the grieving mother explained how fast her son became ill. It was one week from the day Matthew started feeling that he died.

Students, teachers and community members are mourning the teen’s death.

Flags there are at half staff and a sign in front of the school says — “Our hearts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of Matthew Davis.”

Over the weekend, a spokesman for the Erie County Health Department confirmed a death associated with swine flu.

Buffalo Teachers’ Federation President Phil Rumore said it’s his understanding that the 15-year-old’s health was further compromised by an underlying MRSA infection.

Belton says doctors told her as a result of the swine flu her son contracted MRSA and pneumonia.

“I’m not coping. I want my baby. can they give me my baby back. I’m a mess,” said Belton about the death of her son.

She wishes the school was closed when the teacher was diagnosed with swine flu. It is not known how Matthew Davis was infected. She has an older son who attends Riverside High School, but he was never ill, although district officials closed that school to deal with the swine flu in the building.

Buffalo Schools Superintendent Dr. James Williams says grief counselors are on hand today.

Only a small number of students are required to report to school to take final exams.

A second Buffalo student - who attends the Charles R. Drew Science Magnet School #59 Museum Campus, remains hospitalized with Swine Flu. The child, a female, is listed in critical condition in the Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Women and Children’s Hospital.
