    Government Insanity, The Sequel
    This one really makes me mad, after months of being told that everyone should get the H1N1 vaccine, now we are told that only "priority groups" will get their vaccine first. Some of these useful, productive citizens include Guantanamo Bay detainees and prisoners in British Columbia. Nice to see the government values the best people in society. Guess crime pays after all.

    How else can we get the rfs implanted into the terrorists ?:D:p

    Unfortunately I have to give the gvt. A bit of a pass on this . Oh their projections about vaccine availability is way off... much like their lowball estimate about how much the gvt. Takeover of the health care industry will cost. But in their defense ,the production of the vaccines is a slow process.

    As I posted elsewhere today ;I have suspicions of flu vaccine effectiveness anyway. As the Atlantic Magazine mentions in this month's issue ,The truth is that no one would dare do a double blind study on people in risk groups using a placebo control . So there is no proof as far as many scientists believe that the use of vaccines decreases deaths caused by the flu.

    Well Earl it's nice to be in a priority group for a change, I had my shot last week. Did it work? Who knows? But as I said elsewhere as far as I can tell I'm not emitting any RF, my arm doesn't glow in the dark and I feel fine.

    It would be embarrassing if all those prisoners died before they were released. Perhaps they could use them for that double blind study.

    There is a great deal of Paranoia about H1N1. Relatively few people have been infected thus far and the percentage who have died is no worse that seasonal flu. We are only aware of it because the media and the WHO have hyped it up, but it has helped the medical profession to make a little more money. What I say is watch who you associate with
