"somewhat willy-nilly nature of the vaccine's distribution in some areas..."

A typical NY Times way of saying that the federal government has no clue how to handle this competently.

These guys are so incompetent at messaging. The Complete Lifecycles Program does not include the elderly.

They have lived their life and it is time to move on.

It is for the children.

Suckers. I have talked to 4 doctors and they said do not go near the H1N1 “vaccine.” Suckers like NFL fans.

“I explained to people 65 or older, ‘The reason we are doing this is for children.

On Beck's show the other day he talked about a letter someone wrote to Time.

In it the snot nosed twit wrote "Step aside Grandma,we want our healthcare and we want it now"

The elderly should be very afraid.

I just got over the Pig Flu yesterday......

Fairly mild symptoms for 5 days.....still have the cough but it’s abating....

Oh the horror, it made me cut down to only one cigar a day......(only for two days, but it was a tough two days!)

Now I’m immune!

My opinion, don’t get the shot unless you’re at very high risk......

Yes. “The elderly,” most of my fellow Baby Boomers, should be terrified, because that’s part of their nature. Yet so many of them want to find out how life in the USA would be, if it were like the third world countries.

We need that big default, so they can see what those off-limits areas outside their resorts are like...firsthand.

The ‘elderly’, came through the Great Depression. They know what it’s like. They were children, they watched their parents drive vehicles with no tires because there was no tires to be had. Food was rationed. One egg a week. and it goes down hill from there. They told their children of it. But we are now into the grandchildren and great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, and they have no clue. None. Life has always been comfy for them. Most never doing without much. Oh sure, maybe they didn’t have the luxury jeans, but they didn’t do without clothes and shoes etc!
Gasoline was rationed, for those who had a car, and it would run, with or without tires.

Not according to the "snews."

The "reason" - they are not "available" in their "area" as well as they're not in the "high risk" category (read - go to private schools, get 3 meals a day, have access to everything else - and biggest - the H1N1 vaccine hasn't been "proven as safe.")

What we're in is "human test guinea pigs," not acceptable for Obama's children!

Considering the elderly (sans "underlying medical conditions") are generally less at risk from the H1N1 flu than young people (an unusual profile, and similar to the 1918 Influenze--which prompted panic ridden images of the pandemic), this is the correct decision.

Poor communication and the insistent recitation of the normal seasonal flu risk profiles by the media has led to the confusion.

Preview of things to come. Was there any charge for the vaccination? I bet not.

It amazes me that the young folk somehow don't acknowledge that - barring an early demise - they, too, will one day be 'elderly."

Twits.
