The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are meeting behind closed doors on June 19-20 to determine policy about the U.S. stockpile of smallpox vaccine-this after having four open forums to solicit public opinion and input. First of all, four hastily put together and not well-advertised (hence, poorly attended) forums in New York, San Francisco, San Antonio, and St. Louis hardly constitutes a wellspring of public input. But the CDC apparently prefers it that way.

It makes sense, especially in NY, LA, and other likely targets.

The ring strategy will fail miserably with 20+ simultaneous outbreaks.

Yesterday, at the doctor's office, I asked for my ten-year vaccination shot for "tetanus" immunization.

I was told, "NO WAY", tetanus shots are ONLY given now at emergency rooms for emergency "cases"!

I was told, "There is an ONGOING WORLDWIDE SHORTAGE of tetanus vaccine!

Sheesh, doesn't anyone "believe" we are at war?

Who WILL "stand-up" for the long range HEALTH of "Citizens".

ENRON?
