We have known about the H1N1, swine flu, risk for many months now. We knew that last springs outbreak would turn into a more virulent strain by this fall. That is all basic science. Concerned for our citizens, the government recognized the need to produce substantial volumes of vaccine. We have spent more than $2.2B for H1N1 Swine flu. To date, only a minor amount of this vaccine has been delivered, but concern seems muted. Why?

I am currently looking for H1N1 vaccine. Haven’t had any luck so far. Doesn’t make it any easier that I have to have the shot and the inhaled version isn’t an option due to asthma.
I wouldn’t take the vaccine in either form - especially the nasal “live virus” form. This is a government-propagated ‘emergency’. The last time they did this was in 1976 and I took one of ‘their’ shots. I got pluresy from it and 10 years of misery. Take this at your own risk.
This website is down right now.
It’s Obama’s fault.
He has dithered around, played court games, gone on trips so people can see his arrogant puss, whining about Fox News, and has WH parties while thousands die.
Why wasn’t he on the vaccine makers azzes as much as Fox News?
Why didn’t he give tons of ACORN money to vaccine makers?
Supposedly the vaccine is causing nerve damage in some people.
36,000 die each year from regular flu. That is apparently normal. This Swine flu don’t seem so bad by comparison.
More virulent? More widespread, certainy, but the death rate does not appear to have increased.
The lack of testing, the absence of confirmed H1N1 cases which were mild may shift the numbers, but sloppy bookkeeping it does not make the disease itself any more dangerous on average.
Yes, it can and does kill some people, especially in cases where there are underlying medical problems as well, but on balance the ability to compare it with an ordinary seasonal flu outbreak has been compromised by the lack of data, and current policy is to consider any flu like symptoms to be H1N1. That is inflating the stats as well.
THIS IS THE SAME GOVERNMENT THAT WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OUR MEDICAL NEEDS AND THEY CAN’T EVEN PROVIDE A VACCINE FOR A VIRUS THAT EVERYONE HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR QUITE SOMETIME. JUST IMAGINE WHAT THEY WILL DO IF WE GIVE THEM FULL CONTROL OF HEALTHCARE.
MMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMMM
THIS IS THE HOPEY CHANGEY CRAP THAT THEY VOTED FOR.
Believe what you believe. This pandemic is not coincidental. You are going by only what they tell you and I will tell you this, they are ‘telling’ you way too hard for my taste that ‘everything is fine.’
Anyone remember the panic over West Nile virus?
If Bush was still President, the media would be doing their nightly shows wearing surgical masks to “emphasize the threat”. But, in the Age of Obama, the government can do no wrong...and if it does, it’s unpatriotic to report on it.

Sorry about the spelling!
And bird flu, and SARS and AIDS...
I haven’t seen a mosquito fogger truck in awhile here in NY, even though West Nile is still pretty high in the state.
I also have flu shots every year. And I also heard that this is made the same way as the normal shots.
But then we had that article from Germany, saying that there were two kinds: the regular, and a different kind that was more dangerous. The German gov was getting the good kind (made by Baxter) and the peons were getting the other, which evidently contained “adjunvants” and mercury.
So, I don’t know if the other is risky. But there are two kinds out there, in addition to the live spray version.
