"The ‘elderly’, came through the Great Depression. They know what it’s like."

I'm really more than fed-up with that canard repeated by two generations of NIMBY, HOA hag, corporate-government employee/retiree, selfish socialists, who call themselves conservatives. A man or woman would have to be 93 years old to have been 18 years of age during the last year of the Great Depression!

No Baby Boomer lived at all during the Great Depression. Most of those who came at least ten years before the oldest of Baby Boomers are gone.

I'm a Baby Boomer. Our elders, who have passed away, were right! We are spoiled rotten! Most of the teens now are not, as most of them are far poorer than we have been and no more libertine.

This is practice for when officials and docs have to tell old people they aren’t going to get any health care and are turned away to die. Same story: you don’t want our limited health care dollars being denied to the children do you?

Liberals love this. The ultimate power! Scare people to death of a “deadly flu” and then deny them a vaccine when they show up for it. That is the ultimate bossiness - authority. Sitting in power of life and death - every liberals’ wet dream.

Not just a dream anymore.

Anyone who is scared into getting the vaccine and shows up to get in line only to be told by some fascist pig to get out of line, should raise cain that they don’t have enough -they are too stupid and incompetent - to even get enough vaccine for those who want it. It’s not Bush’s fault! This is Obama’s Katrina. Europe managed to do it. Canada managed to do it. Third world sick freaks running our government manage to screw it up - plus give away 10% of our shortage in vaccine to the UN!

My seven year old girl (diagnosed H1N1) seems to have given me an ad hoc vaccination, so the shot is moot. She is getting better and I am starting to run a slight fever and sore throat. NAC, Elderberry, and D3 to the rescue.

I have had the flu for the last week, was able to do a couple of hours work yesterday and today, mostly its the chest congestion and welding really aggravated it so thats why I’m still basically staying at home for now.

52, no shots, lots of vitamin D at least 4000 units, garlic and Vitamin C, drinking pink grapefruit juice.

My 15 year old son had it and had high fever, only lasted a couple of days, seems that the older you are the less it affects you though it may affect you a bit longer.

The top public health official in Los Angeles County stood at a swine flu vaccination site in Compton, Calif., on Tuesday and gently told elderly residents that they really ought to go home.

i guess the death panels have already started.

this should be pointed out to Sarah/Rush/Beck/etc

What better way to cut Medicare/Medicade costs?

Just let the elderly with underlying ailments get the H1N1 and die....

The Obama administration is totally inept at everything other than travel and security plans for the POTUS and his family, so he can continue to “campaign” for socialism.

I saw that on the news this morning. The bureaucrats did not handle it well, at all.

I could have explained it better but the way they came off it was like “Surely you wouldn’t want a child to suffer or die, would you? You are not that cold and heartless, are you?”

Fact of the matter is people look out for themselves and many times rightfully so.

My allergist told me that anyone over 50 has already had swine flu 2-3 times.

Not exactly this particular variety, but swine flu nevertheless, and that I should not worry about getting it.

“Not just a dream anymore.”

They hope for that change of control over the lives and deaths of all Americans based on their control of health care and doctors. However, they are going to meet a wall because we are not going to put up with that elitist oppression. They will be dead if they try to kill people on a systematic basis. There are more they want to kill than there of of them who enjoy killing.
