    Vaccine for the H1N1 influenza pandemic will be distributed on a three-day turnaround time from four regional warehouses around the country next month. The vaccine deliveries, expected to equal 20 million doses a week by the end of October, will be distributed among 90,000 immunization "providers," including health departments, hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices and pharmacies.

    Those were among the details unveiled Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as part of the federal government's increasingly complex response to the pandemic of H1N1 influenza, also known as swine flu.

    "This is a huge logistical process. There's not [going to be] a sudden appearance of vaccine in 90,000 refrigerators around the country," said Jay Butler, an epidemiologist who leads the CDC's task force on the vaccine.

My opinion is summed up

My opinion is summed up pretty nicely in a catchy little rap song: Don't Inject Me (the Swine Flu Vaccine Song) by the Health Ranger on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiXmw5a9kiM What people don't understand is that you have a better chance of beating the flu using inexpensive vitamin D3 than you do by getting a vaccination (but you won't hear about that in the MSM). I hope the drug companies are underwhelmed by the response from the citizens NOT clamoring for shots. This fear mongering has to stop and people should take their personal power back from big pharma.

Ditto to Unity4All. In

Ditto to Unity4All. In addition there are mercury and squalene in the multi- dose vials of the vaccine, which are both toxic (despite denials by big pharma and corp-gov.) The vaccines are a big experiment with the usual motive being profit and we are supposed to line up and be the guinea pigs. I am a doctor and I am horrified. There is good information at www.NVIC.org and www.DrTenpenny.com, to name a few. Good luck humanity!

Currently, ALL AMERICANS ARE

Currently, ALL AMERICANS ARE NOT SCHEDULED FOR A FREE VACCINATION. As I understand it, American Citizens on extended travel abroad are apparently not considered American enough to warrant a free H1N1 Flu Shot as things stand now..... We are traveling until January and the local US Embassy told us that we had to find the H1N1 Vaccine ourselves if we could and then pay for it ourselves. Apparently our government considers Americans traveling abroad not worthy of receiving a free flu vaccination at local Embassies or Consulates.... So, be aware America, once you leave the borders of America, just like during the Bush Years, you are COMPLETELY on your own as far as our government is concerned. Perhaps its all part of that whole 'LESS GOVERNMENT' thing brought to us relentlessly by Republicans over the past 30 years and in Obama's attempt to 'get along' with Republicans in some misguided bipartisan spirit, Americans traveling abroad aren't really Americans until We return to America because we fall into the bipartisan spirit-crack where the rubber of 'Less Government' meets the road of human reality...SO--- NO VACCINATION FOR YOU YOU TRAVELER YOU...!

Enough already, the H1N1 flu

Enough already, the H1N1 flu is similar to a flu that is somewhat common in pigs. In all of North America there is only one (1) reported case of a sick pig. This unlucky one (1) pig was infected by a human. This is the only pig in North America who could have given a human the H1N1 flu. Meanwhile the pork industry suffers from an irrational fear fed by media idiots. There are many valid reasons for not eating pork. The H1N1 flu has never been, is not now, nor will ever be a valid reason.

OK... I'm AFRAID... I'm Very

OK... I'm AFRAID... I'm Very Afraid... that the "health officials" are setting up a money channel to the Big Pharma corporations, and using a "scare the citizens" tactic to pull it off. Is this some kind of "payback" for their "cooperation" on some aspect of health care reform? That's more worrisome than this season's flu... ^..^
