The govt is not planning on running health care, you can still go to your doctor. This is not socialized medicine as in the old USSR. Private drug manufacturers are making the vacinne as they always have. Without the govt., there would be no vacinnes since companies loose money on them. There is an idea, have the govt. stop supporting private companies to make the vacinne, then we won't have any for any flu or let the market decide the price and nobody could afford them.
I know that, I didn't say the government was planning to run health care.....all I did was post a quote John Kerry made in 2004....the government wasn't even planning on not planning on running health care then....lol.
Do your own research Kat. You are a nurse right? I think this information has been published in some of your professional journals. You might want to take the time to keep up with the medical news. I read about this initially in a professional medical journal.
Honey, I am informed. We are giving this H1N1 vaccine daily. We have all four forms: mist, multidose vials, .25 prefills, and .5 prefills. Your snide comments about me not keeping up are not appreciated. Perhaps, if you really read this in a professional journal, you could post a link, instead of an opinion piece from the NY Post. I subscribe to an immunization newsletter as well as work with this vaccine daily, and I never heard this before.
Has anyone thought about the fact that the season isn't over with yet? I can't imagine that they one day started making 300 million doses and that all in one day 300 million doses are ready and then all in one day they can ship out 300 million doses. Maybe I'm missing something but if they are still growing the vaccine, then won't they continue to keep coming? It's november, who is to say that we won't have enough vaccines for everyone come January or Feb? Don't they stagger out the seasonal flu?
