Swine Flu Shuffle

One day they are behind schedule, then the next they are ahead.

U.S. Surreptitiously Sets Up Swine Flu Vaccination Slaughter

And the MSM wonders why I'm taking a grain of salt and then washing my hands after reading their "news" reports.


"Swine flu vaccine arriving days early" by Liz Kowalczyk, Globe Staff | October 7, 2009

The state’s first 36,800 doses of swine flu vaccine have begun arriving at hospitals, clinics, and physicians’ offices, a few days earlier than expected, according to state public health officials.

The initial doses are nasal spray instead of shots, the more common delivery route. For this reason, they will be used mostly to inoculate health care workers and healthy young children, said Jennifer Manley, spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

Unlike the shot, the spray contains bits of live, weakened virus, and cannot be used to immunize high-risk groups such as pregnant women, patients whose disease-fighting systems are severely compromised, or those with chronic conditions like asthma. The spray cannot be used on hospital employees who work with transplant patients.

Then keep it away from me.

Public health officials have advised providers not to plan flu clinics for the general public until more shipments arrive.

You keep thinking this thing ain't going down, but it is.

WAKE UP, Massachusetts sheeple!

The state expects weekly shipments throughout the year, and anticipates 1.1 million doses by early November and 700,000 more by early December. Still, that is not even half of the 4 million vaccine shots and nasal sprays designated for Massachusetts by the federal government, which is buying all of the nation’s vaccine supply.

And they won't tell you how many BILLIONS they paid for it.

"The great swine flu mystery

It's a bonanza! At least that is how some describe the drug industry's expected windfall from the swine flu pandemic as it prepares to cash in on what could be the most widespread winter flu season for a generation. The H1N1 outbreak will certainly be good news for the pharmaceutical groups, but just how good remains a mystery as the firms supplying the vaccines and treatments, and the governments buying them, refuse to give details on how much it is all costing."

Did you just hear a cash register?

Before the shots are made available to the general population, providers will target those at high risk for serious illness: pregnant women; children between 6 months and 4 years; people who have regular contact with young infants; and youngsters between ages 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. Providers, which began getting the vaccine on Monday, were devising plans yesterday to distribute the doses.

A Caritas Christi Health Care System spokeswoman said the hospital network plans to vaccinate health care workers who have direct contact with patients and will then send doses out to primary care doctors to begin inoculating children.
