So, the government is spending $1B on a vaccine for a virus that causes no noteworthy symptoms in the overwhelming majority (97%) of those afflicted. The proper word for this is "boondoggle."
But what a deal for those pushing the scare campaign to get everyone vaccinated! The cryptocracy is able to further develop a conditioned-response in the public to accept 'what's good for them'. The government gets to practice lining everyone up for their shots and also to create a whole new network for administering the vaccine. The drug companies make a bundle, a really big bundle. The Center for Disease Control gets to build its reputation. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius can project herself as a great champion in the fight against illness.
The losers, of course, are the public, who have this sham forced upon them.
The scare-campaign directors, by the way, are going to concentrate on those most easily stampeded into getting their shots, the school children.
This entire swine flu effort is ridiculous as it stands. Massive publicity, billions of dollars spent, and the mobilization of governmental and health agencies for an illness that is less virulent than everyday flu.
Of course if you believe what has happened so far is a prelude, then you know that the authorities are going to have to show that the virus has become more serious. And lo and behold, (WSJ) "Separately, a new study published online Monday in the journal Nature suggests the H1N1 virus is stronger than previously believed." (!!!)
Expect more 'studies' like this and look for reports that the virus has mutated. Expect more and more of these in the period leading up to the completion date for production of the vaccines.
