With scant public input, state and federal officials are pushing ahead with plans that -- during a severe flu outbreak -- would deny use of scarce ventilators by some patients to assure they would be available for patients judged to benefit the most from them.
The plans have been drawn up to give doctors specific guidelines for extreme circumstances, and they include procedures under which patients who werent improving would be removed from life support with or without permission of their families.
The plans are designed to go into effect if the U.S. were struck by a severe flu pandemic comparable to the 1918 outbreak that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide. State and federal health officials have concluded that such a pandemic would sicken far more people needing ventilators than could be treated by the available supplies.

Waiting for your reply. You got the flu or something? Cat got your tongue?
As far as Im concerned, this was Barack Hussein Obamas first opportunity to show that things had changed and that big government could be good. Instead, we get a disaster...
Waiting for your reply.
MY liberal tendencies? LOL. You throw liberal slander at me while you declare Obama a disaster because he's not vaccinating people fast enough for you, then deny that any forced vaccinations are part of his agenda. Meanwhile, healthcare professionals are marching in the streets against it, Massachusetts is passing madatory vaccinations for everyone in the State at the point of a gun, and laws are passed to protect vaccine manufacturers from being sued for killing people, while the same manufacturers refuse to take their own vaccine.

Weenie... you need to put down the bong, bottle or whatever. ...Put your cute little artistries on in reply, or better, go to confession somehow and repent your liberal tendencies. ...You got the flu or something? Cat got your tongue? I dont have to prove anything to you.
You don't prove anything because you can't prove anything - not numbers of infections, not virulency, not effectiveness, not safety - nothing. Yet you still demand everyone get vaccinated, at risk to their lives, in the face of huge legitimate concerns, both medical and constitutional. In response you have nothing but a garbage mouth and a bunch of talking points you're supposed to push online to get a paycheck. You're not only a troll, you're a particularly foul one, arrogantly shoving for the poisoning of everyone in the country, and lying so fast you can't keep your own hypocrisy straight.
What you're doing here for money - the terrible risk you're trying to force everyone to be subjected to - is a disgrace against your own humanity. You're pathetic.
