CDC: School kids may have to get up to 4 flu shots in the fall Posted by sakerfa on July 16, 2009 School children who have never had a flu shot may need to get vaccinated four times in the fall – twice for seasonal flu, twice for pandemic swine flu – officials at the CDC told health professionals on Wednesday. Most everyone else should expect three shots. Five manufacturers are now making vaccines against the pandemic H1N1 swine flu virus, said Dr. Tom T. Shimabukuro at the CDC’s Immunization Services Division, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. They are well on their way to having between 40 million and 160 million doses of egg-based vaccine available in the United States by October, added Dr. Pascale Wortley the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s pandemic vaccine coordinator. On the high end, that would be enough vaccine for everyone in the United States who wanted it by January. But on the low end, it would require prioritizing distribution to health care workers and those at higher risk for complications – including children, pregnant women, and people with chronic diseases and asthma, Wortley said. “This vaccine campaign will unfold quite differently than seasonal flu,” said Wortley, in a conference call with health care professionals nationwide on Wednesday. “This is a huge endeavor we’re gearing up for.” Apparently, for good reason. The speed with which the H1N1 swine flu strain has spread globally has been documented meticulously, said the CDC’s Dr. Joseph Bresee, chief of epidemiology in the flu division. “In a very short time we’ve gone from a couple of cases in two southern California kids to 94,000 cases in 134 countries worldwide,” he said. And on Wednesday, the Florida Department of Health said two more people had died of swine flu in Florida, a 53-year-old Miami-Dade woman and a 55-year-old Volusia County man. The deaths brought the total number of swine flu fatalities in Florida to 12, the total number of confirmed cases statewide to 2,188. Wortley said the pandemic flu shots will be divided among states proportionally, based on their population. And state health officials will manage their delivery, most likely through large-scale school, work and retail-based clinics managed at the county level. Protection against the pandemic strain will require two doses, an initial shot plus a follow-up booster. Preservative-free shots will be available for children and pregnant women, about 20 percent of the lots manufactured, Wortley said. They will either come in single-dose injections or as Flu Mist, the live virus that is squirted into the nose. Adults will most likely get their shots from multi-dose vials which contain Thimerisol, including very low levels of mercury. It appears that health insurers will be willing to cover the new swine flu shots, Wortley said. But there are still many unknowns, she said. Among them: * Can the seasonal flu shot be given on the same day as the swine flu shot? * How many days must pass between the first and second doses? * How much of the antigen – the active ingredient – must the shot contain to be effective? * Can a booster substance be added to stretch supplies further? There are a number of newer vaccine technologies that are now under development, including cell-based vaccines and vaccines grown in fall armyworm cells. Those won’t be among the tier 1 vaccines used in the United States, Wortley said. The regular seasonal flu vaccine supply will be ready much earlier than usual, possibly as soon as late August, she said. Clinicians will order those in the usual way. Wortley said the CDC is setting up a process for tracking adverse reactions to the shots, including the rare but potentially fatal Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that can be temporarily paralyzing. In a 1976 vaccination campaign against a feared swine flu outbreak that did not materialize, 500 grew ill and 25 died from Guillain-Barre, but no one died of swine flu. It’s a different situation this time, because people have already from this flu strain.

As far as I know, not one single person out of the 58,122 subscribers to this channel has received this video! This is blatant censorship of the highest order! Google clearly doesn't want this video to get out to the masses. First of all, in the last half an hour since I posted this vid, I have already received five emails from some of my subscribers telling me that they did not receive this video. Secondly, I have tried to share this video with my contacts but it will not send no matter how many times I try. I type in the captcha code correctly each time but it acts as if I typed it incorrectly and it tells me to type in another code every single time. I will keep trying though. Google is doing everything to thwart my efforts to get information out. On my previous video, they have not counted most of the comments received after the first day. They froze the comments counter as well as the view counter. Two days ago the video was receiving several comments every second, but the comments counter is frozen and when it did eventually update after several hours, the counter increased by a couple of hundred instead of a couple of thousand. Now they are preventing me from sharing this David Icke video, and my subscribers have clearly not received the video. They manipulate the view counter on every video I post. This channel has almost 60,000 subscribers. Just look at the video views of other channels with 60,000 subscribers and you'll instantly realise how heavily my videos are being censored. DO NOT TAKE THE VACCINE!!! David Icke Talks About The H1N1/Swine Flu Vaccine. July 12th 2009 Filmed For B3TA By Kirk Rutter. www.youtube.com/user/lcfuser The swine flu vaccine is a money-making eugenics scam. Don't fall for it. Do some research into flu vaccines to find out what they contain, and the adverse effects they have had on many people. Whenever you take any medication, the pharmaceutical company is obliged by law to provide you with a list of ingredients contained in that medication. This is absolutely necessary for a number of different reasons. For example, you might be allergic to some of the ingredients. However, with any kind of flu vaccine, most patients are not given a list of ingredients. We already know that flu vaccines contain, amongst other things, mercury derivatives. Mercury is a toxic substance that never leaves your body. For More Information please visit: birdflu666.wordpress.com
