US ready to spend billions on flu vaccine

Image...
The Obama administration said yesterday that it has billions of dollars available to help pay for a national H1N1 flu vaccine program that could be ready starting in mid-October.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made the announcement at an all-day summit on the outbreak of what is more commonly known as swine flu. One purpose of the gathering, officials have said, is to help restore a sense of urgency to the worldwide response to the epidemic.

    Looks like the same old "we'll create the problems, then spend billions of taxpayer money fixing em!".

    Epidemic? When does a disease classify as an epidemic? I'm asking this because I thought that the number of victims of the H1N1 virus were miniscule.

    Thanks to users unimatrix0 and current89, Current users get the full White House approved Obama statements on everything.

    Thanks! Us current users don't know who to read past the headlines from CNN and FAUX.

    Now let's did deeper and examine how the White House is sure that the US is going to be hit by swine flu, and how companies ties to the MIC just happen to have a vaccine all ready to go.

    This reminds me of how Jerome Hauer (Zionist Jew) told the entire White House to go on CIPRO (anthrax medication) a whole month before the anthrax actually was released on the US population.

    seriously though does anyone on current know ANYONE, i repeat, anyone, that has even known anyone that has even become violently ill because of swine, avian, or asian flu? if you die of the flu, it seems that you're one of these three things.

    1 OLD. >60 >(greater than for republicans)

    2. YOUNG < 5 (that's less than for libertarians)

    3. Immune system comprimised.

    because i havent heard of anyone dying of it other than those 3 categories, and those same ppl have an equal or greater chance of dying of ANY OTHER VIRUS!

    call me callous but I AM NOT AFRAID of virii. those killed by these tiny things are usually the sick or the old or the young or the weak. just like those killed by lions, hyenas, wild dogs, or freakin-frackin velociraptors. there is a natural order to things, and the ___________ (insert animal or culture name here) flu dosent seem to be causing any more death than it should be. the last BIG pandemic, was the spanish influenza, and i think medicine has advanced a bit since then.

    The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.

    well, nephwrack, it has killed pregnant women and their unborn children in the US and abroad. As much as Darwin favors the strong--you need babies to keep the species going.

    In Mexico, it targeted those between the ages of 20 and 40, many of them healthy, and recent studies are showing a trend in other regions of the world. Thus, it appears that this flu is similar to some other pandemics but different than the seasonal flu. And, the point of vaccination is to create 'herd immunity' so people who are carriers and only mildly affected don't walk around town spreading it to people who may be greatly affected if they contract the virus.

    We should not becoming paranoid, but we should understand the dangers, especially if the virus mutates, and we should be responsible members of society by not spreading our fluids all around town because we are too lazy to wash and cough into our shirt sleeves and by getting vaccinated once an appropriate vaccine has been formulated.

    this vaccine was created in such a short amount of time. We do not know the long-term effects of this vaccine. And we haven't studied the current effects of vaccines enough. I say no. The drug companies fund the agencies that require us to get these vaccines. http://healthfreedom.net

    Getting vaccinated once an appropriate vaccine has been formulated is a matter of moral responsibility.

    It's not just about "you" it is about "us". Vaccinations protect not just the individual but the collective, i.e. your community, e.g. your friends and family.

    Vaccines work. Science works.

    Enough with the paranoia and superstition.

    My question is " If it reaches pandemic levels will we be forced to take the vaccine? Will there be quarantine camps?" Both of these are very real possibilities.

    Don't forget tabout that vaccine contamination from a few months ago.

    Action eAlert: Pandemic Risk from Big Pharm Vaccine Contamination “Accident”

    “Just last month I reported on the story that the American pharmaceutical company Baxter was under investigation for distributing the deadly avian flu virus to 18 different countries as part of a seasonal flu vaccine shipment. Czech reporters were probing to see if it may have been part of a deliberate attempt to start a pandemic; as such a “mistake” would be virtually impossible under the security protocols of that virus.”

    Mass vaccinations are not acceptable if the vaccine is known to contain dangerous substances or contaminations.

    unimatrix0 is so completely uniformed on this issue it's unbelievable.

    "Homeless people die after bird flu vaccine trial in Poland"

    The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.

    Authorities claim that the alleged victims received £1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.

    Dangers of the Flu Vaccine

    One of the greatest dangers of the flu vaccine is the ingredients, so what does the flu shot contain?

    Mercury - 25 micrograms, 5 times the maximum amount deemed safe by the CDC

    Formaldehyde - embalming fluid, carcinogen, and poisonous - this ingredient is in most childhood vaccines as well and has been linked to childhood Leukemia and other childhood
    and has been linked to childhood Leukemia and other childhood cancers.

    Chicken Embryos - Many people have allergies to chicken products and byproducts of chicken. Doctors won't ask if you have allergies, they just tell you you should get the shot.

    Sodium Phosphate - potential symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, changes in blood chemistry, heart disturbances and central nervous system effects.

    Gelatin - potential allergic reactions in some people

    Polysorbate 80 - carcinogen to animals

    Neomycin Sulfate - retards Vit B6 absorption sometimes leading to mental retardation and epilepsy, some allergic reactions can be life threatening

    Mono sodium Glutamate - possible mutagenic causing developmental malformations and monstrosities, this is a neurotoxin. (yes it is in many foods as well). Allergic reactions can be severe.

    Sodium Deoxycholate - promotes tumors and changes DNA

    Beta Propiolactone - known to cause cancer

    to trust the governments so called wisdom you must first suspend all critical thinking, become complacent and or fearful slave, history recalls that the last time there was a pig flu episode in the 70s that the vaccine killed more people than the virus, so who in there right mind would take a risky vaccine for a virus as mention before rightly only seems to kill the old young and immune deprived?

    Responsible doctors inform their patients of the allergens present in vaccines. Responsible patients read the vaccine information sheet available online and from the doctor.

    Polysorbate 80 is in many foods, including ice cream, because it is an emulsifier. There are no data showing that it is carcinogenic at the levels present in vaccines. If you have ever accidentally swallowed dish soap or shampoo while blowing bubbles, you have already put more emulsifier in your body than a vaccine and I'm sure you are OK.

    Sodium phosphate is a vague term used for sodium and phosphate salts. It is in everything from soup to baked goods to cheeses and meats, at much higher levels than in vaccines.

    The above can be said for everything you listed. There is nothing wrong with pointing out potentially harmful ingredients. We should always question what we put into our bodies and demand the best. What is wrong and irresponsible is to lead people to believe that something is carcinogenic when it is only carcinogenic at concentrations well beyond those in the food or vaccine or product that you are trying to discredit. There are things called dose-response curves and such that should be payed attention to if you are going to tout strong opinions as facts.

    Also, please let's try to not go so far in one direction to prove a point that we don't evaluate data in the other direction. Any U.S.-designed vaccine will have to meet purification standards and will have to be tested in the appropriate amount of animals (I can hear the collective body of conspiracy theorists who have never even been to the FDA gasp). Distributing to the public in the U.S. is not the same as distributing experimental vaccines to study subjects in a research project with informed consent or to the homeless people in Poland, or to military men and women (I agree that it is appalling that we still use our military as a testing ground for new vaccines and drugs). Everything needs to be evaluated in context.

    It is not right to slam a product before it has been evaluated. If people are wary, they can request and read the information available on the vaccine, and if they can not get the information because it is not being made available, they can opt out.

    Every day, we get into cars, consume processed foods and beverages, coat ourselves with sunscreens and makeup, ingest bacteria and parasites, and expose ourselves to all sorts of natural and man-made environmental toxins. It's ironic that people will refuse a vaccine that has been safely used for years, such as the flu vaccine, but will let themselves become overweight and out of shape and down cokes, smoke, think that chips are a vegetable, and do all other sorts of things that have been proven to lead to disease and death. Think people.

    There is a bigger question behind all of this.
    It isn't if we want to or not, it is "Will We Have To"

    Don't take the shot. Check it out.
