ALERT: US GOVERNMENT'S
POSSIBLE SWINE FLU PLAN
This is a Heads Up Folks!
Two nights ago, I was listening to a late night talk show (morning of Aug 16th, Erskine Overnight. I HIGHLY
recommend it as Erskine is a really great journalist and talk show host. He literally said:
1. "They" [the US government] will publish a news story that claims there will be a drastic shortage
of swine flu vaccine.
2. This will be done to develop a huge outcry for the vaccine.
3. The gvt will give the flu shots that will cause the illness and may cause some to pass on [die].
4. That will be blamed on the swine flu.
5. The gvt will miraculously come out with 200 million more doses for the entire nation. It is predicted
that the gvt will generate 600 million doses - two per person based on a 300 million person population.
Then he said:
6. They [US Government] will close schools down on a friday.
7. When those schools open they will be swine flu vaccination processing centers.
8. They will urge everyone to attend the processing centers to get their shots.
I dunno but to me this sounds like the lines to the gas chambers in Hitler's pre-WW2 nazi germany.

PLEASE NOTE: ITEM 1 HAS ALREADY COME TRUE
"US expects far fewer swine flu shots in October"
"Associated Press - Today - 8.18.09"

WASHINGTON - The U.S. won't have nearly as much swine flu vaccine ready by mid-October as long
predicted - 45 million doses instead of the anticipated 120 million, a federal official said Monday.
It's not a shortage but a delay, Health and Human Services spokesman Bill Hall said. More will arrive
rapidly after that, with about 20 million more doses being shipped weekly until the government reaches
the full 195 million doses ordered, he said.
But the October shortfall, blamed on manufacturing issues, will extend by a month efforts to get people
at highest risk vaccinated against the new flu strain. First in line are supposed to be pregnant women,
children and health care workers, followed by younger adults with flu-risky conditions such as asthma.
Expect vaccination campaigns to start around Oct. 15 anyway, Hall said. They just will have to be smaller
in scale than originally planned, as the supply trickles in more slowly.
"Why would we wait? As vaccine comes in, we'll ship it out to the states. We're not going to sit on it,"
Hall said.
The government had long insisted it was confident in the 120 million dose figure, even in late July as
manufacturers from around the world revealed they were having serious problems brewing shots. The
chief ingredient is grown in chicken eggs, and companies were getting 30 percent of usual doses per
egg as they do with regular winter flu vaccine.
Health officials are working to address that problem by delivering to manufacturers virus strains expected
to grow better.
A more recently discovered problem is a bottleneck in getting vaccine from huge vats into the syringes
needed to deliver them, because of a limited number of those so-called finish-and-fill facilities, Hall said.
Another delay is in developing the test needed to make sure doses are at the proper strength before they're
cleared for use.
The problem is with swine flu vaccine, not vaccine against the regular winter flu. Unlike its new cousin,
regular flu is riskiest for older adults. Those inoculations already are beginning in parts of the country,
and there is ample supply of seasonal vaccine.
As for the swine flu - also known as H1N1 flu, for its viral family - nearly 160 million people are in the groups
to get priority for vaccination. But health officials don't expect nearly that much demand, especially since
while swine flu can kill, for most people it appears to be a milder disease than regular flu. Traditionally,
only about 40 percent of people recommended to get regular flu vaccine do so.
