And wasn't the decision that "since the barn door had been opened, it was too late to stop it, so why bother" late last fall, before there were any deaths?
My memory could be off, but I seem to recall that was one of the many things Bush handed over during the transition for Obamanation to do with as he pleased, such as handing handing him the other 1/2 of the 700 billion dollars authorized to stimulate organized crime.
I was watching the local news this morning, and they said that Seattle ran out of vaccine in 3 days, and they're hoping to start immunizing the Snohomish area in the next few days. Yet Sebeluis has been placating the nation for weeks not to worry, there was enough for everyone.
Public Health to suspend H1N1 clinic end of day Friday
KING COUNTY, WA - Public Health's four H1N1 vaccination clinics will suspend operations at the end of the day Friday, October 23. As a result of high demand at these four sites, all the vaccine initially set aside for this purpose has been used and no additional vaccine has become available because of the national delay in vaccine production. Vaccine continues to be available through some health care providers in King County, but remains in very short supply.
More proof that a huge, Government-run, centralized healthcare system is the way to go ;-)
It's obvious that we can't trust these people to know how to tie their own shoes, much less competently oversee a flu outbreak.
Thank you for the ping :-)
