Nutmeg, do you realize they can even manufacture “panic” or define panic to get Obama to do what George Soros wants him to do. When Soros is quoted talking about greedy Wall Street, I think of all the billions and billions Soros made. I guess if you’re George Soros, profiteering.

This dropped on Saturday while Bambi's arch enemy Glenn Beck wasn't on the air.

This is b.o.b.s.

*** If there is a panic for the vaccine which is in limited supplies, why did zero give away 10% of our vaccine to third would Nations through the WHO? He is the one causing the panic by shorting our Nation on the vaccine. ***

The 'why' is easy. Panics and a crisis is how tyrants get absolute power. Except, those tyrants did it in countries were the citizens didn't own firearms. Makes a big difference since us citizens have more guns than the French Army. So if Barry, oops, I mean Rahm, goes for our guns, that's when we know 'the game is on'.

But the funny thing is, I haven't heard of any panic, or 'Shortage crisis' of this vaccine. Except in the MSM. They if anyone is creating 'the panic'.

And we DON'T need any 'National State of Emergency'.

HHS query: Has anyone noticed that K. Sebelius has something strange going on with one of her eyes? It looks like an old injury or a genetic thing.

You are absolutely correct. Seasonal illnesses like the common cold and influenza rarely require hospitalization or even medical treatment. The symptoms of the common cold have significant overlap with influenza, and influenza itself (the “normal” flu) is almost identical to H1N1. So, like you said, people who go to the doctor will be prescribed Tamiflu and the doctor will report is as a “likely” case of H1N1.

I am uncertain as to whether the deaths attributed to H1N1 are confirmed in a laboratory or not.

DvdMom has been updating a thread with stories for some time now, to be found here: H1N1 flu victim collapsed on way to hospital [Latest H1N1 updates downthread]

I think much of what you are looking for is to be found in that compendium.

“a couple of years ago the left blamed President Bush because of a vaccine shortage. Is this shortage still Mr.Bush’s fault of is this one on Berry??”

100 years from now there could be a vaccine shortage and it would be Bush`s fault.

Try this scenario. 1. Announce swine flu pandemic.

2. Bambi goes to Mexico where his tour guide gets swine flu and dies thereafter.

3. Keep calling it a pandemic.

4. Urge everyone to get a flu shot.

5. Have DHS Napolitano talk about everyone needing the vaccine. 6. Concurrently, have Sebelius say there's not enough vaccine, oh, my.

7. Announce it's a national emergency while Glenn Beck's hvg a day off.

8. Have Sebelius continue to announce there's not enough vaccine.

9. Keep scaring people about the swine flu until they beg for universal health care because only the govt can possibly take care of them.

You know national emergency and all the scary stuff Rahm and his brother Zeke can make up (note Rahm and Zeke are not talking about health care which means they're key players).

“Almost two thirds of the children who died with swine flu had epilepsy, cerebral palsy or other neurodevelopmental conditions. In a previous flu season, only a third of pediatric deaths had those conditions. “

LOL. I agree with jaz's comments: With those ears there’s no chance of the mask falling off.

We got our seasonal flu shots from the Jewel Osco. They had vaccine weeks before our doctor did...the pharmacists were excellent and so well informed.

Thanks - that’s great. The wrist and her butt are so presidential. So proud they, and her relatives, have taken over the WH...

Exactly it is flu season. Cannot believe they declared a nationwide emergency.
