What a marketing fiasco the whole H1N1 vaccine hype turned into! The drug companies didn't fill the orders in time and didn't ship them out until after the height of the flu back in October and Spain and other countries want to understandably return the vaccine they can't sell.

And we all survived perfectly well without the vaccine--no doubt better than we would had we been vaccinated. World-wide there were only a handful of deaths I think (relatively speaking). HA! What a fake out on the drug companies.

They are still pushing it here though telling us the height of the season has yet to hit (lie). Guess they think Americans are the only ones gullible enough to believe it.

In the beginning they pushed 2 shots that we would need so countries actually submitted for that and then they decided only 1 shot was needed.

Add to that the WHO redefined what a pandemic was which then included H1N1 because they laxed the definition. Then pressured governments to stockpile.

There's an investigation being called for because some of the WHO folks have very close ties to big pharma..the same ones that produced the H1N1 vaccine.

Is there really a chance that H1N1 was nothing more than one of the crises that Rahm Emanuel talked about? I thought so right from the beginning and have not changed my mind at all. It has turned out to be nothing more than a different strain of the seasonal flue that we have lived with for all this time.

I will bet that the people in those countries mentioned here backed down because they saw through what that thing really was. Many Americans have gone that direction, also. Out here in the sticks they had trouble getting medical employees to take the innoculation for that very reason and they had a shot at it before anyone else did. Few took advantage of it after they got a real shot at it in mid-November.

I wish more people could be frightened by what our government is doing to us than got frightened by this "created" flu that was going to kill so many people.

You never hear about the H1N1 in the UK now that all the news and forure about the Governments financial and Banking scandals are in the past, it is said that under a half of the population actually took the vaccine and the rest didn`t believe all the hype that the Tv and news media basted us wih day out and day in. A nurse in the local hospital told me you have more chance of catching and dying from the effects of the usual range of seasonal flu`s that do the rounds every year than catching H1N1, but we never see the government going ballistic with propaganda about getting immunised, why, because that would be far too expensive for the British NHS, that`ll wait `till the next major scandal, that is, if they haven`t invented an other scapegoat before that time.
