"The spray... contains bits of live, weakened virus"
I don't care how "weak" it is, you AIN'T GETTIN' NO NEEDLE in my arm or NOZZLE up my NOSE! You are going to have to kill me or imprison me, you f***s, because I intend to fight. Been readying for it.
And furthermore:
"The flu is going to take care of most of the problem. Apparently the vaccine is actually a trigger that reacts with something they haven’t released yet. That’s due to begin in a month or two. I don’t know exactly when"
Well, if I don't have any virus in me I see no reason to put it in me via the shot. Never took a flu shot all these years and never got the flu, either!
"Swine flu shots delayed for most; Wide availability expected in mid-Nov. Those at high risk get vaccine earlier" by Stephen Smith, Globe Staff | October 1, 2009
WORCESTER - Vaccine against swine flu will not be widely available in Massachusetts until mid-November, the state’s public health commissioner warned yesterday, even as specialists fear that cases of the viral disease will increase markedly in coming weeks.
I see them keep pushing it back and think that hollering out here is helping; can not be hurting.
The Department of Public Health expects the first vaccine doses to arrive in the state no later than Oct. 12, but that initial shipment is expected to include only about half as many doses as originally anticipated....
Then again, maybe it IS ALL ABOUT the $$$$!!!!!
I heard a cash register ring somewhere, didn't you, taxpayers?
In the first weeks of the swine flu vaccination campaign, health care workers and groups most vulnerable to the virus will be targeted for doses. That includes pregnant women; children between 6 months and 4 years; people who have regular contact with young infants; and youngsters between 5 and 19 diagnosed with chronic conditions such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes. Those groups are estimated to total 840,000 people. After they are inoculated through their physicians’ offices, vaccine will begin to be more broadly distributed.
Then I'm not going.

Starting the Swine Flu Kid Counter
Some disease specialists, including a presidential advisory panel, have expressed concerns that most H1N1 vaccine will not become available until after a second wave of infections peaks.
“While it would be preferable to have vaccine in early October, there will still be benefits to getting it in mid-November,’’ said Dr. JudyAnn Bigby, the state’s secretary of health and human services. “We still don’t know how this virus is going to behave.’’
The uncertainty about when vaccine shipments will arrive reflects the vagaries of flu vaccine production, as well as the unprecedented attempt this fall to deliver nearly 200 million doses of protection against swine flu and 115 million doses aimed at the seasonal strain. Flu vaccine makers rely on an antiquated, time-consuming process to produce shots, growing the medicine in eggs. With the identification of swine flu in late April, scientists began a sprint to brew the right vaccine and begin processing it.
The same pharmaceutical companies are making both types of vaccine, and spot shortages of the seasonal variety have already emerged. “We have never done anything like this before,’’ said Dr. Susan Lett, who runs the state’s immunization program and is on the federal panel that helps establish vaccine policies. The state’s full complement of vaccine is not expected to be on hand until late January or early February.
What, the most massive extermination program in world history?
People eager to make appointments for vaccine, especially those not in a priority group, are urged to do what could seem frustrating: be patient....
Oh, yeah, you can go before me, yup. Oh, yeah, step right ahead of me, fool.
The first batch destined for Massachusetts will be nasal spray instead of shots, the more common delivery route. The spray will be used chiefly to inoculate health care workers and young children who need two doses. The spray - it contains bits of live, weakened virus, unlike the shot - cannot be used to immunize pregnant women or patients whose disease-fighting systems are severely compromised or those with asthma.
This frikkin' state is going to be Ground f***ing Zero.
I love you, reader.
The first three weekly shipments will go exclusively to doctors, clinics, and hospitals in an attempt to guarantee that those most needing vaccine receive it. After that, shipments will begin to local public health agencies. Once the highest-priority groups have an opportunity to be immunized, an expanding ring of children and adults will be given access to the vaccine, starting with all other young people up to age 24 and then adults with chronic conditions through age 64. Remaining supplies will then be provided to everyone else.
That better be all it is: an "opportunity," not a mandate!
Especially if that PoS governor wants any chance of being reelected.
Mass. residents aren't going to stand for this s***, not out here.
While the federal government is paying for the H1N1 vaccine, decisions are still being made about who will cover the cost of administering it.
F***ing kidding, right?
Well, we are IN DEFICIT so that is ONE PROGRAM that can be PUT ON HOLD!!!!!
It appears likely that physicians and clinics who have contracts with health plans will be able to seek reimbursement. Discussions are under way about allowing government agencies to seek payment if they vaccinate insured patients.
Yeah, we can't have single-payer health care (who would want it now), but they will pay for the infections, 'er, the shots.
More than 20,000 Massachusetts children and adults have been infected with swine flu, state health officials said yesterday, an admittedly rough calculation derived from national estimates. The H1N1 virus did most of its damage in the state in the spring and early summer, research from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health shows. The deaths of 11 people in Massachusetts have been blamed on swine flu.
That means there is a 99.945% chance of recovery.
That's even higher than the SARS scare rate!!!
In other parts of the nation, particularly the South, the virus has returned with a vengeance in recent weeks, foreshadowing what is likely to happen in New England, specialists said.
I'm so sick of the lies!
"parts of the Southeast that started seeing a surge of cases first now seem to be showing a decline"
“We expect to see in the coming weeks and months that we will see widespread cases of H1N1,’’ Auerbach said.
Yeah, I'll bet you do.
So WHEN are you guys RELEASING the PLAGUE?
And here are your daily reminders that the flu is lurking, plotting, and planning:
"Fla. soldier is Army’s first swine flu death" by Associated Press | October 2, 2009
COLUMBIA, S.C. - A 23-year-old soldier from Florida who was in basic training is the Army’s first death from complications of swine flu, officials said yesterday.
This could KILL OUR ARMY, hey!!

Another UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE or the spur to a DRAFT CALL?!!!!!
The death at Fort Jackson, the Army’s largest training camp and just outside Columbia, may be the first such loss among the nation’s 1.4 million men and women in uniform.
Specialist Christopher Hogg of Deltona, Fla., died Sept. 10 from “pneumonia due to H1N1 influenza,’’ according to Fort Jackson commander Brigadier General Bradley May....
Hogg was in the fifth week of basic. He had initially tested negative for the swine flu virus, but the autopsy later detected it, another defense official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record....
That SURE STINKS!
Hogg reported to sick call with a fever on Sept. 1 and was treated at the Army’s Moncrief Army Community Hospital. Two days later he was transferred to a local hospital, where he died, May said....
WTF? They TRANSFERRED HIM OUT of MILITARY QUARANTINE and into the GENERAL POPULATION?
So WHAT BUG have they RELEASED?!!!

"Unidentified woman, 55, dies of swine flu
A 55-year-old Middlesex County woman with underlying health problems died of swine flu Thursday, the 12th person in the state to succumb to the viral illness, state health authorities reported yesterday.
Yeah, now NO MATTER WHAT IT IS they say swine flu!
The woman’s identity was not disclosed because of patient confidentiality laws, but the Department of Public Health said she “had multiple underlying health conditions.’’ People with chronic health conditions such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes are known to be at higher risk of complications and death from the H1N1 virus.

You ready to die? I am, but not without a fight.
I will defend what's mine, and may the Lord help anyone who comes here looking for trouble. Surely you psychopaths can't be that stoo-pid.
