Private industry doing pitifully with swine flu vaccine

[uscitizen]

Even with the liability immunity that Bush gave them...

I just read that my county will get 5000 doses maybe by early November.
In a county of 125,000.

The article said that swine flu is widespread in my state NOW!

Yeah that law of supply and demand works fine.

they are trying to whip up a frezy of demad, make the shots like the Iphone.

You have to be out of your mind to take that kind of risk getting that half ass produced, untested shot just so that you dont get a flu thats more minor then the normal flu and lasts only a couple days.

The swine flu itself is pitiful. A virus so insignificant merely labeling it as such is too good.

I'm embarrassed that so many Americans fell for this fear mongering idiocy to significantly ignore the corporate welfare happening directly in front of their faces. I don't believe that I have ever seen a more obvious effort to make something rather boring into something "scary" than this.

It is insane that there is such a media frenzy over this debacle. The swine flu is not as bad as most runs of the flu, and is not (so far) mutating like most strains do.

And yet we have these cries for the gov't to protect us. Its ridiculous. I agree, Damo. Its an embarrassment.

I've been reading more; some of the side effects can be quite serious, especially for pregnant women, and that's one of the targeted subpopulations. The good side is that, as usc has found in his state, the supply is next to nonexistent. I wouldn't fall for it!

Yeah the swine flue is no booger. I have had it. And I have never taken a flu shot.

However my statements in my opening post stands.

A poor job done by private industry. A worse job done my the media.

What was the point of the original post that private industry is suppose to believe the hype and go out and produce mass amounts of flu shots?

Look who the original author was... that should tell you there was no point. Just the ramblings of a senile fool.
