Wall Street's Swine Flu Vaccine Score Shows the Perils of Government Healthcare

The blogosphere and the cable news channels are full of outrage at the fact that Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs, Citi, and J.P. Morgan have received thousands of doses of H1N1 vaccine, while shortages across New York City have prevented pregnant women and high-risk children from receiving shots first. Believe me, as a parent of a high-risk child who had a heck of a time getting her a shot last week—I think this is outrageous.

But in the midst of all the anger at the bailed-out bankers getting their shots, no one seems to be noticing that the New York City government health authorities are the ones who sent the vaccines to the banks in the first place, after receiving their share of the state's shipment from the publicly-run Centers for Disease Control. Clearly we have a scarce supply of vaccines, with great demand nationally, and that supply is being rationed by the government.

This is what happens when the government has to publicly ration healthcare. This wasn't an insurance company who turned this into a fiasco, or the vaccine manufacturers, or the doctors' offices. This was the government.

Instead of the H1N1 vaccine going to pediatricians' and OBs' offices for the children, pregnant women, and healthcare workers who needed it most, the government sent it to big businesses. It speaks volumes about what we can expect from publicly-run healthcare, and what will happen when we have to start rationing it to women and children.

People, R.T. Trall, an insightful New York M.D. once said it best, “disease itself is the remedial process it’s not something that needs to be cured (attacked, subdued, thwarted, killed), it’s something that should be allowed to complete its purification and repair unhindered”. Symptoms like fever, skin eruptions, mucus, headache, vomiting, sneezing, coughing etc. etc. are life saving, life preserving, and life protecting and that is why so many people get well IN SPITE OF all the wrong actions.

The real problem is what precedes the symptoms, not the germ or the virus which is in the category of “predictable background phenomenon” but is the individual health choices and mass unhealthful events like for example Christmas partying (overeating, overworking, denatured foods (acidity) and no food digestion rules (acidity), other causes include

uncleanliness, exposure to direct toxins (examples – pesticides in the food, sanitation issues, drug use ) and indirect toxins – example exhaustion which checks elimination. Examples of stress which contributes to exhaustion are cold weather, mass fear etc.

Don’t FIGHT the disease with toxic pills and vaccines, but FACILITATE the disease process which IS THE RECOVERY and PURIFICATION PROCESS by detoxing and resting i.e. fasting or semi-fasting, rest, water, warmth, quiet (and sometimes the use of detoxifying substances such as fiber, and chlorophyll).

Realize that the medical profession has always been part voodoo profession and as such they have always had a denial and cover-up culture because they have almost always insisted on using unnatural approaches that have had uncontrollable negative outcomes. Even though Pasteur agreed with A. Bechamp and Claude Bernard that the “terrain” i.e. the environment and your body are the key to understanding what microbes do and even when Pasteur denied his original premise that germs are the cause of disease, the medical profession had found its perfect story for their pervasive cover-up culture. Now they could successfully blame almost everything on germs and viruses and sound plausible.

The only thing is they are injuring people when they attack disease because THEY ARE ATTACKING THE RECOVERY PROCESS WITH IDIOTIC POISONS LIKE MERCURY, FORMALDEHYDE, ALUMINUM, PUS FROM OTHER SPECIES etc etc.” The emperor has no cloths” but they are telling you that they are the “EXPERTS” i.e. “We’re the experts, so it must be true”.

Dr. Andrew Moulden, a respected brain researcher, and one of many dissenters, has shown for example that all vaccines can cause strokes because the white blood cells formed clog small vessels which relates to elderly people/ Alzheimers, children/ autism.

SO PEOPLE WAKE UP. YOUR HUNCH IS CORRECT. YOU’RE BEING TYRANNIZED AND INJURED EN MASS BY THE MEDICAL NUMSKULLS INSISTING ON PSEUDO-SCIENCE AND BLAMING ALL THE BAD RESULTS ON GERMS AND VIRUSES, THEIR PERVASIVE AND SPECIOUS COVER-UP STORY and they are more than willing to sacrifice you and your family to make an extra 5 cents and perpetuate a lie.

Yours for health truth,

Welcome to government run healthcare. According to President Obama, Medicare will be bankrupt by 2012, that's before the $542 billion he needs to take from Medicare to help finance our magnificent new health care system. The government has run Medicare into the ground and tells us they can do a better job with this massive fiasco? The new healthcare begins in 2013, but we start to pay for it next year? They say there won't be any denials of care, Medicare now denies more treatments than private insurance, the net profit made by healthcare insurance companies is a little over 2%. They say they will stop the $60 billion in annual Medicare fraud, if they can do that why haven't they done it before? Obama promised the same healthcare as government employees receive, but Congress has decided the cost is too high for us to have that level of care, but we still get to pay for theirs. We were promised by the administration that unemployment would stay under 8% when they pushed through the stimulus bill, it's double digit now. How is that promise working out? We were told the H1N1 vaccine would be enough for everyone under 65 in this country with plenty to spare, I understand the prisoners at Gitmo had their shots, no one in my family has been able to have access to the shots. How is that promise working out? We were promised millions of "shovel ready jobs" where are they? How is that promise working out? The government keeps throwing more money after bad, Fannie and Freddie execs got some gigantic bonuses(bad AIG-good freddie and Fannie) they've had massive losses and massive federal dollars. They were all too big to fail, so they received our tax money and are failing anyway. I want my money back. It appears that the house healthcare bill will create more than 100 new agencies, we get to pay for untold thousands of new government bureaucrats and get great new healthcare while saving money. All the new bureaucrats get the good healthcare while they decide if our treatments are cost effective (worth paying for).The stimulus has failed, taxpayers paid $24,000 for each auto purchased under Cash for Clunkers, Medicare is bankrupt and rife with fraud, H1N1 vaccine was another broken promise,of course grannie never was supposed to get the vaccine (it was for 64 yo and under), Freddie and Fannie and the other businesses too big too fail need more money, 100+ new agencies come with the healthcare for we lesser humans, Medicare is on the rocks but the administration needs to take $542 billion from it to prop up the healthcare system we don't have yet, people are still losing their homes, the jobs aren't happening, China has warned us to stop printing so much money because they don't want to be repaid for the stimulus money we borrowed from them with worthless dollars, Gas is going up but we can't drill for the 845.9 billion barrels available in our own territory and our president says our utilities will skyrocket with cap and trade.Things are looking up.

If you don't like the way the government rations vaccines, how would you propose they be distributed? Surely you can't be thinking that the free market would have sent flu shots to pediatricians and OBs first and made the bankers wait in line?
