I'm not remotely concerned for myself, but for those of us who have young children, you think it's only a scare tactic?

That's what I mean AngryCat really, I'm just so sick of this kind of bs because first it was nuclear missiles, when that didn't work it was Terrorists, now it's a fucking flu that causes less deaths than any ordinary flu a year. They weren't scared of it being an pandemic they CALLED ON IT being a pandemic the moment it hit!
Young Children and pregnant women should of course get the proper vaccine but anyone else who's perfectly healthy should only get it if they've got health problems. Old people are supposed to even have immunities to it.
And yes, it is a scare tactic, 300 in a country as big as America is hardly a pandemic.

You've always had a bit of an attitude problem, but I rarely disagree with the substance of what you have to say.Quote from asiaprop:
some of you guys are absolutely beyond hope. Now you follow some tabloits and blame GS instead of blaming your fuxxing incompetent cities and government to provide people with the vaccine? Vaccinations have been available FOR MONTH and in the same way as people rode the housing market ALL THE WAY to the top and waited and waited and waited most Americans never took a chance to get the flu shot a lot earlier this year. Wasnt it predicable that people will start lining up towards the autumn/winter time?
On this issue, however, you're completely full of shit. H1N1 vaccine has *not* been "available for months". The supply problem is well documented from primary sources (like CDC), and has nothing to do with media hype.
because ordinary people in that country are very very stupid and uneducated. They preach before their children every single day to mistrust the government and everything on a national/governmental level. Now when everyone is in a total panic (which I agree is in most cases completely unwarranted) those same people see themselves as the ones who deserve everything they so much despised before. The true actions of hill billies and rednecks. And those who came up with connection between vaccine shortages and investment banks should be hanged. My God how stupid can people really be?
Quote from Lethn:
This swine flu is nothing more than a fu**ing scare tactic. Half the people they're trying to give it too don't even need it and the only ones who have died are extremely young or pregnant or have underlying causes.
I'm vaguely reminded of the way the government and media paraded around about violent video games when pretty much 100% of the people involved in incidents to do with games already had underlining psychological problems.
I'm getting seriously sick of this fear mongering bs our politicians keep touting and I think ordinary people are too.
the vaccine has been available for several months now, you are so dead wrong. Just nobody gave a shit and suddenly when media pick it up and several already SICK people died because of their insufficient immune system people are rushing to get it as if they cant live without it.

It been available for 6 weeks, Oct 1st I believe. My Mom has a comprised immune system due to lung disease and is waiting. I am not getting the shot, it only high risk that need it.
My friend in Canada says there is no shortage in Ontario. Part of the problem nobody want to risk mfg. it due to lawsuits, same with regular flu vaccine.
by the way...in the same way the vaccine has been available in most other industrialized countries for some time now. This was a COMPLETELY predictable event and that governmental health organizations have not better planned ahead is something they should be blamed for, no matter how much I disagree with this current panic.

you are right the current vaccine has been available for several weeks now (the one described in earlier posts, its called the "2009 H1N1 vaccine"). Other older, yet fully sufficient versions have been available through hospitals and doctors' clinics for months among other countries in Australia, Japan, Germany, I know for certain that it was available in Germany several months ago.

Again, you are full of shit. CDC lists exact shipment numbers of the vaccine. There may have been samples available for months, and the local county clinic received all of 200 doses in early October. That was it, until the end of October when they received another thousand doses or so.Quote from asiaprop:

Do the math on how many people are in the "high risk" priority group, and how many vaccines are available.
