"....She also said more children had died in the space of a few weeks than usually die in an entire influenza season. "There are now a total of 86 children under 18 who have died from the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus," Schuchat said.
As of Wednesday 11.4 million doses of H1N1 vaccine were available and 8 million had been ordered by states for distribution."

If Obama were white he would have been brought up on charges by now and impeached.
No..she was taking it for what was either the flu or a very nasty cold. The doctor gave it to her and it made her very sick. When she stopped..she was fine.
She probably got it pretty soon after she became sick, because she has an immune system disorder, so doesnt wait before she sees a doctor.
This stuff only shortens the length of the illness.
I don’t believe they are testing everyone that has died from this flu first of all. You can do your own search. Just google h1n1 deaths in Texas. We have had about 5 deaths of children in the DFW area in the past few weeks and more deaths of adults. One death today that they are not releasing info about yet, but are disinfecting the school that the child attended.
I’ve used tamiflu twice when I was exposed to flu from my children and husband. They all got really sick. By the time I actually got the tamiflu, I was just starting to be symptomatic. My fever didn’t go as high, I wasn’t sick as long, and I didn’t get a bad cough that lasted for weeks. I was probably totally over it in 3 days as compared to 2 weeks for the others.
DOn’t rely so much on Tamiflu ( which may or may not be really helpful) or the ‘vaccines’ for ‘flu’. Wash your hands, stay hydrated, get enough rest, and you will survive most of these ‘flu’ scares. The majority of the folks dying from this flu have other underlying conditions which have been exacerbated by the ‘flu’. So take a deep breath, relax, and realize that sometimes statistics have high sides as well as low sides. That 76 children ‘normally’ die in a flu season means that some years it has been far higher and other far lower.
And do any of these articles mention how soon these people saw doctors, or were admitted into a hospital. I read a couple of articles that people who did seek emergency help, were sent home, then died.
They never seem to give any details.
Ya know, it is very easy for someone to die over something like this because of their mistake, or those of their health care professionals.
When I was a kid, I knew a girl who had 7 children in her family. All of the kids but her, had a stomach virus, vommiting, cramps, etc.
The following week, this girl got the same thing, so they thought. It turned out, it wasnt that virus, it was her appendix. She died at 17 years old.
My mom used to tell me..believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see.
You cant trust the media when they leave parts out of their stories.

Yes they are testing everyone that has died from it. I just went to cdc.gov and found that info. The cdc data reports deaths of pneumonia and flu combined. 99% of all people tested for flu (dead or alive) have tested positive for swine flu. I suspect that what is happening is that swine flu is just one of the strains this year. The CDC reports are inaccurate because they don’t show data for those that die just from the flu. The people who die with the flu had other infections or illnesses first. I would like to know how many have died JUST from swine flu and from regular flu. The American Lung Association suggests that flu-only deaths are only in the hundreds each year.
Again, if you are going to make claims please include data. It makes your comments relevant.
The use of TAMIFLU along with an intranasal flu vaccine like FluMist®* has not been evaluated. However, due to the possibility for interference between these products, an intranasal flu vaccine should not be given within 2 weeks before or 48 hours after taking TAMIFLU, unless it is deemed appropriate by your doctor. The type of flu vaccine administered as a shot through the skin can be given at any time relative to use of TAMIFLU.
That is from the manufacturer. Fact is children are given the MIST form of the vaccine so SHOULD NOT be given Tamiflu
I wonder who is repsonsible for the decision not to release what’s available...or if it’s stuck in a typical bureacratic tangle.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner folks! Congrats the long march, you get the Common Sense Award for today!
Oh puuuleeez. Quit being soooo dramatic. Not everyone that gets the flu dies. Some do. Quit making it sound like the plague is going around and no one is doing anything. This is the kind of panicky thinking that leads to the government telling you what you MUST do
You claim stockpiles of Tamiflu ——proof please
See my post 28
Believe me, I don’t trust the media either, but the deaths are real. It’s also true that doctors are being told to ration Tamiflu. It’s just a preview of government run healthcare as far as I am concerned and I can’t believe more people are not in an uproar over this, when we have millions of doses stockpiled.
But they’re dropping like flies! Like flies she’s telling you! Don’t you understand! LIKE FLIES!
Exactly. It is not as if you have something that needs an antibiotic that will clear it up right away. It merely ‘lessens’ the disease process BUT it must be taken at first symptoms or is useless. Tamiful is NOT the answer
People are NOT dropping like flies. 86 children NATIONWIDE is NOT even statistically significant.

You make the most outrageous statements without proof. Do you also like Alex Jones and Ron Paul. Perhaps, you forgot to wear your tinfoil hat last night.
Please provide some proof for your statements elsewise we tend to think of it as rumor mongering
