Wouldn’t you love to know just how much big pharma is making off of John Q Public for us playing nurse and nanny to the world? Check out the latest on how OUR vaccines are headed to other lands…and this, after all the hoopla that military would stand guard at our homes and force us to take the vaccines…and now in many communities like mine, folks are told they have run out already and won’t get more soon. I really don’t think anyone knows ‘who is on first”.
Sebelius Says U.S. Will Donate Part of H1N1 Vaccine Supply to Foreign Nations Before Meeting This Nation’s Demand
(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com Wednesday that one in 10 doses of the swine-flu vaccine purchased by the U.S. will be donated to other nations before U.S. demand is filled. “What we said is once we have 40 million doses (of the vaccine), the donation can start,” Sebelius told CNSNews.com. “There’s an agreement (of) 10 percent donation that 11 nations have made. HHS has ordered about 250 million doses of the vaccine, so the donation would begin after the U.S. received just 16 percent of its original order.” To view this article, click following url..

@ NotMe,
I was directing that comment at the article Karen sites here, not at Karen. (and i was being facetious about blind trust in the state being ‘what’s good for you’.)

@ Chuck,
I recently watched this presentation given by Mary Tocco, an independent vaccine researcher, and it was very informative. Mary sites multiple doctors, studies and books and encourages the audience to research the subject for themselves as opposed to just taking her word for it.

Mark T – Excellent point.

Chuck – No. Vaccination is a sound concept. My understanding is there are a couple of issues with vaccines. 1) The US vaccination schedule is extremely aggressive. It may be that we are overwhelming infants and young children’s immune systems, blood brain barriers, etc.
2) Live virus vs dead virus.
3) Liability and quality control – limited liability reduces incentives to ensure safety and quality of product.
4) Predictibility and targeting – directly relates to flu shots. They essential guess at the particular strain of flu.
5) Risk vs reward – So what if I get the flu? The flu rarely – if ever kills. People with compromised immune systems get sick and then contract secondary infections such as pnuemonia, which can kill you.

How could someone who isn’t vaccinated infect, or be even a remote danger to someone who is? Kind of irrational, isn’t it? Seems like the whole premise amounts to a tacit admission that the vaccinations don’t really work.

So my question is, are all vaccinations bad? No one on either side seems to want to answer that question. I mean, the polio vaccine did treat the polio epidemic, did it not? I have three small children who have all been vaccinated. No issues. But it certainly worries me that vaccines could be causing autism. What’s the truth??? Who do we believe? We can’t just say all drug companies are bad and that they haven’t done us any good.

Are you kidding, Liz Roberts???

Karen is NOT advocating for greater state control; she is exposing the ridiculous bias behind the Wired story.

couldn’t make it through the entire, long-winded article, but i tried, oh how i tried. i got her gist. the comments are always much more entertaining in my opinion.

note how she blames the irrational, antivaxers as fearmongering whilst she fearmongers you into blind trust of the state. it’s what’s good for you.
