San Jose Mercury News ^ | 11/7/2009 | Julia Prodis Sulek

Thousands of people filling the sidewalks and spilling onto Tully Road had arrived early Saturday morning to receive one of 5,500 doses of coveted swine flu vaccine. "There's no way there's enough," said George Reis, who was helping with crowd control. "They keep coming."

My kids and I are high risk for H1N1 complications. We've been trying to get the vaccine. Our pediatrician got a few vaccines, and my daughter with a brain injury and epilepsy was high enough risk that she got it.

However, my other daughter and I have asthma and we can't get it. The pediatrician is out of vaccines, and my doctor never had it.

We tried the clinic in San Jose, and I couldn't believe the lines. We turned around and went home and had some vitamin D & C.

If the government can't even distribute this vaccine, then I can't even believe what a fiasco government healthcare will be.

They are trying to give my kids the nasal, I only want them to have the shots.

They are saying they can’t get the shots. This government is freaking insane.

One simple vaccine, one shot. The Federal Government can't handle that, and they want to take over the entire health care system?!?!? No, they want to use health care to impose tyranny.

Pelosi's Bill is 2,000 pages of tyranny

We can’t take the nasal. I don’t think I would like a live virus anyway.

It is insane.

I was really worried about my daughter with epilepsy, and at least she got the vaccine. She hasn’t had a fever since she was diagnosed with epilepsy, so I was worried about how she would handle a high fever. Plus, she’s had a lot of problems with missing school because of the epilepsy. A major illness just wouldn’t help with that.

I feel prepared for my other daughter with asthma. I have tamiflu on hand for her.

and when there aren’t enough shots...
the number of which decided on by a gov’t panel...
and those that didn’t get a shot die...

wouldn’t this be the death panel the lefties denied would ever be created?

Do you all know what you are getting shots for and are you really getting what you are there for?

It may have already peaked. There were 200 kids sick at my son’s school a few weeks ago.

I’m thinking it could go up again next week because they have a school dance.

I trust my doctors. I really don’t want to go to a public clinic. Even just the sanitation with thousands of people getting a shot.

My kids were saying we would probably catch H1N1 by being in the line.

We’ll just wait until we can get it at the doctor’s office.

That is the reason I won’t let them take it.

It is live virus. The only reason they got it was because of the Dems afraid of autism.

Shortage slows BC’s H1N1 vaccine roll-out
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/10/30/bc-h1n1-swine-flu-vaccine-rollout-shortage.html

Wealthy donors, board members given preference at hospitals (in Montreal.)
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/health/Wealthy+donors+board+members+given+preference+hospitals/2196792/story.html

First it was hockey players. Now, wealthy hospital donors have jumped the queue to get H1N1 flu shots.


This is happening everywhere, luckstarmom.

Personally? I won’t have the shot. But if you want it, I hope you get it soon.
