So the gov buys 300 million doses and now won’t use half of them. Great win for some companies!
Why would I trust CBS?
I hate feeling like I have to be suspicious of every single thing my government does.

It’s okay it’s going to peak, because in Arizona, our former governor, The Big Ragu, the Homeland Security Director, who has never made our Arizona homeland very secure, has prioritized the first responders for the shot. In Arizonaspeak, a first responder is a Mexican firefighter union member.
Funny that CBS comes out with this the day after we learn that the GOV doesn’t have enough H1N1 vaccine and most states won’t have it until maybe the middle of Nov.
I keep thinking about how the partisan liberal media formerly known as the main stream media, used everything they had to trash President Bush over a flu vaccine supposedly going to be late but wasn’t.
Now when it’s obama...... it’s so late that it’s about to miss the flue season all together and they carry buckets of water to cover his sorry Johnny come lately butt!
You and 47% of the people. The rest voted for CHANGE and are getting it long and hard.
Things that make you go "Hmm."
CBS: "However, the CDC recommendation for those who had "probable" or "presumed" H1N1 flu to go ahead and get vaccinated anyway means the relatively small proportion of those who actually did have H1N1 flu will be getting the vaccine unnecessarily. This exposes them to rare but significant side effects, such as paralysis from Guillain-Barre syndrome."
This is BS. The Influenza A Quick-Tests have been proven to have at least 50% false negatives.
If you had high fever, extreme fatigue that did not allow you to go about your day, and a sudden cough or lung congestion with it, in the past 5 months, you had H1N1. Period. Even if you tested negative.
And you may have had different symptoms and STILL have had H1N1; you will never know.
People are not stupid. Just because they thought their child already had H1N1 does not mean they will send her to school very sick now.
This article is crap.
The doc is right. There is NO H1N1 test outside of the CDC and it would cost too much to test each patient for it.
The only flu around about now IS the H1N1. If you have all the symptoms of it, like your friend’s little girl, you have it. Period. No need to take her in to get a diagnosis. (If you want your child to get meds, you need to take her in, though.)
The Influenza test the doc didn’t want to bother with has been showing over 50% false negatives. It’s a quick nose swab and who knows, maybe it just is not effective at pinpointing the flu.
I didn’t need the MSM to tell me that.
“The rest voted for CHANGE and are getting it long and hard.”
And if that’s what they wanted, fine for them - too bad the rest of us have to get dragged along too.
Did Obama poke her in the eye?
Hmmm, when I was a kid and we had those symptoms, we got in bed, received aspirin, crackers and flat 7up.
Must have worked.
Wonder if Rahm decked her? Hmmmmmm.
They don't need an article to help them make that decision. Plenty of them are irresponsible already, in part thanks to schools reinforcing the idea that parents aren't supposed to be in charge of their children's welfare.
