About a quarter of the swine flu vaccine produced for the U.S. public has expired -- meaning that a whopping 40 million doses worth about $260 million is being written off as trash.
..The outdated vaccine, some of which expired Wednesday, will be incinerated. The amount, more than twice the usual leftovers, likely sets a record. And that's not even all of it.

....what ever happened to the great flu pandemic anyway?...the one that was supposed to wipe us all out?....I never got the shot...guess I’m a walking miracle.
And we all didn't die.
I live in a big town. I do not know one person who had the flu.
The gov ever hear the story about the little boy who cried wolf.
And this is the program the Administration has taken credit for its great success???
FAIL.
Despite the Poser-in-Chief’s best efforts, his plan to manufacture a crisis failed, just like his Presidency.
An older sister of one of my daughter’s friends got it.
She said it was NO different than any other flu. She even had the blood test that confirmed H1N1.
The CDC and the FReepers were freaking out. I picked up my kids Vitamin C and D. No flu shots for us.
good riddance

” I do not know one person who had the flu.”
...me neither....my wife did have a couple of students who missed(cut) class due to the flu however ;-)
You know I was all set to ha-ha the government and the vaccine companies on this.
Then I read the story.
It’s not a private company on the hook for producing too much vaccine. It’s we the taxpayer. More of our money down the toilet.
Sorry about the double post.
Somebody yesterday was claiming credit for eradicating it, on behalf of Barry-O and company.
Now wash your wittle hands while singing Happy Birthday to
yourself-President Obama
There never was one. The billions we the taxpayer paid for the mega doses of flu vaccines was a planned payment (bribe) to the pharmaceuticals for their support of obamarama's Health Plan.
These are just doses sitting in a govt warehouse. There are millions more at clinics, doctor’s offices etc.
From one of my previous posts here in ‘09
These vaccines were bought with stimulus money.
That’s $5.7 Billion - with a $B

There were lots of sick kids at my kids’ school, and one of their friends’ father passed away from it.
You were lucky it passed you by.
Axelrod last week:
““I’d argue that we have shown a baseline level of competence…Take the H1N1 flu for example. We jumped on that quickly…I think we averted a larger public health disaster.””
I had a bad flu around that time.
Apparently I lived.
