The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a report Monday which projects as many as 90,000 deaths from H1N1. (!!!!) They also think that it is 'plausible' that 60 to 120 million Americans - 20% to 40% of the U.S. population - could become infected. [!!!] And get this: up to 1.8 million needing hospital care.
As with the calculations from the Center for Disease Control, no basis for the estimate is given. For all we know, they just picked the numbers out of the air.
Again, all this is for a virus that is not very serious. Even the panel report admits this. Quoting from a WSJ article on the report today, "As many as half of the U.S. population could be infected, including many who wouldn't develop any symptoms [!!!!], the panel said, and the vast majority of those infected wouldn't become seriously ill." [!!!!!!] [Emphasis added.]
This enormous and unprecedented swine flu campaign had to be planned a long time ago with assignments and deadlines handed out to the various players. Any one who has participated in the writing of a report in committee knows it takes far longer than this panel took to create a report. And so they must have started well before the swine flu campaign was announced.

The following one-paragraph story came out of Atlanta today. Atlanta is the home of the CDC and one of the central planning sites for the scare campaign.
"It will likely be Thanksgiving before a significant number of Americans who get the swine flu vaccine are protected, health officials said Monday. Roughly 50 million doses of vaccine are expected to be available by mid-October. But for those who get initial doses right away, that will only mark the beginning of the process that will take five or more weeks."
This is a major screw-up by the directors of the scare campaign. They planned for months this fall's big drive to panic everyone into getting their vaccination. And now, guess what, there won't be enough vaccine. The cryptocracy leaders can only shake their heads in disbelief at the incompetence of those planning the campaign. The planners are in danger of undermining all their efforts by not having enough vaccine. What a joke these people are!!!
Also, did any of them think through the enormity of the administrative task of keeping track who has received the first shot and is ready for a second? Someone gets a shot and five weeks later when it is time for a second, this person may be hundreds of mile away. Who keeps track of this and authorizes the second shot?
And what about the person who gets a seasonal flu shot and then shows up for their second swine flu shot believing they already had the swine shot number one. Someone will have to records of this person's vaccination history, and someone will have to spend time convincing him or her that he or she needs shot number one.
Or what the person who has the first shot and then shows up a week later for the second. Someone will have to have this person's records handy, and then someone will have to explain the whole procedure to him or her, wasting precious time.
This is a nightmare that only a bureaucrat sitting behind a desk could dream up.
