And again, on the subject of vaccines and mandatory health care:
An advisory panel to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that every person be vaccinated for the seasonal flu yearly, except in a few cases where the vaccine is known to be unsafe.
[...]
The H1N1 swine flu scare of the past year played a major role in the committee’s about face, both because the disease killed many people falling outside the current recommended vaccine demographic and because it raised public awareness of and demand for vaccines.
Truthfully, it was the government’s propaganda that raised public awareness and demand for vaccines. H1N1 was actually less dangerous than the normal seasonal flu, and it’s difficult to really say how many people were affected by it, because early in the season, the CDC instructed caregivers to stop testing for H1N1, and to just call every instance of “flu-like symptoms” another “swine flu case.”

Chalk it up as yet another reason why it’s wrong to allow Congress to ignore Article 1 Section 8 and illegally enter the health care industry. $455 million taxpayer dollars wasted on a non-pandemic, and that’s not counting all the unnecessary doses people actually took, and all the government propaganda put into convincing people to go get the untested shots.
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.
[...]
About 30 million more doses will expire later and may go unused, according to one government estimate. If all that vaccine expires, more than 43 percent of the supply for the U.S. public will have gone to waste.
Federal officials defended the huge purchase as a necessary risk in the face of a never-before-seen virus. Many health experts had feared the new flu could be the deadly global epidemic they had long warned about, but it ended up killing fewer people than seasonal flu.
[...]
The new H1N1 swine flu emerged in April last year, hitting children and young adults particularly hard. It was difficult to predict how deadly it might be or how easily it might spread. Federal health officials pushed five vaccine manufacturers to produce a vaccine as quickly as possible. What’s more, they wanted a lot of it — many experts thought most people would need two doses for it to work.
[...]
In Europe, where nations also found themselves with millions of unused doses, some commentators have attacked the World Health Organization, which declared swine flu a global epidemic, or pandemic.
The critics have questioned the motivation of some WHO advisers who had links to the pharmaceutical industry.
[...]
“Each time the so-called experts told us that millions of people would be killed worldwide by the respective viruses. We have learned that the experts were utterly wrong,” said Dr. Ulrich Keil, a professor at Germany’s prestigious University of Muenster and a WHO adviser.

Once again, Obama demonstrates that he will stop at nothing to destroy freedom, impoverish taxpayers, waste national resources, and needlessly risk the health of millions of Americans.
Mere months after the administration had the unconstitutional Center for Disease Control (CDC) order medical personnel to stop testing patients for swine flu, and to just assume that every flu is the swine flu, Obama declared that the outbreak is so severe that it necessitates empowering the government and big pharma to ignore federal safety laws so that it can administer untested and unproven vaccines on millions of Americans.
Four days ago, CBS News concluded an investigative report revealing that as low as 2% of reported flu cases were actually the H1N1 flu. Meaning, if 100 people went to the doctor with “flu-like symptoms,” under CDC guidelines 100 people were automatically declared to have swine flu and were treated as having swine flu. And yet, only 2 of those people may have actually had H1N1.
So take any official numbers related in any way to swine flu infection and death rates with a grain of salt and a side of skepticism.
Ironically, as CBS reports, “Because of the uncertainties, the CDC advises even those who were told they had H1N1 to get vaccinated unless they had lab confirmation. ‘Persons who are uncertain about how they were diagnosed should get the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.’”
And this, despite the fact that even their fraudulently inflated numbers show the swine flu as being much milder and less dangerous than the normal flu. The World Health Organization claims there have been less then 5,000 deaths worldwide that were linked to the swine flu. By comparison, about one million die each year from malaria, and 36,000 people die annually from complications linked to the seasonal flu, according to the CDC.
So what is the real reason for the crisis? I venture it is some as-yet unrevealed step in this aspect of their Cloward-Piven strategy implementation:
One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit.
I submit to you they understand the consequences. For many it is simply a practical matter of eliciting votes from a targeted constituency at taxpayer expense; we lose a little, they gain a lot, and the politician keeps his job. But for others, the goal is more malevolent – the failure is deliberate. Don’t laugh. This method not only has its proponents, it has a name: the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It describes their agenda, tactics, and long-term strategy.
Read that last article for a full description of the strategy. Basically, it is:
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
A detailed reading of the Democrats’ health care plan reveals it as the biggest single leap forward in the destruction of our constitutional republic ever, and they are desperate to foist it on us, whether we want it or not.
