The gov’t needs a reason (crisis?) to exist.

[CholeraJoe]

And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

I guess Obama’s CDC figures he needs some distraction in the news cycle. This is all BS. The very very last thing I will do is let the GOVERNMENT inject me with a government produced/funded/mandated drug, period. Frack off CDC.

If you havent been reading about what is happening in Great Britain with flu deaths, suggest you catch up.

Be prepared, some pregnant women and small kids and teens (healthy) seem to be at risk of rapid onset to severe complications, even death. And British docs being discouraged by NHS from vaccinating healthy kids under 18 due to vaccine shortage

With Proper Planning, Selective Rather Than Mass Vaccination Can Reduce Spread of Flu, Say Physicists

ScienceDaily (Jan. 10, 2011) — During outbreaks of the flu, hospitals often reporting overcrowding, and doctors advise people who have not yet been vaccinated against flu to get their shots. Surprisingly, however, three physicists -- one from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and two others from Michigan State University -- have developed an unconventional, theoretical strategy for intensive but limited vaccination against infectious diseases (such as flu) that would replace the practice of mass inoculation over a prolonged period.

Take a look. Not so bad, really http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weeklyarchives2010-2011/FluView02.ppt

I believe the general methodology is called "achieving herd immunity".

Reach a certain critical mass of immunity (it varies among species), and the pathogen will burn itself out naturally without having to inoculate every single member.
