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

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?

"News Short n' Sweet by JFD8"
May be 'short and sweet' but misleading at best. I call it grand standing.
Did you check Health department. Do they commonly go to businesses giving shots. What criteria do they follow ?
Bunch of one liners appears you have a agenda or site your pushing.
If rules was broken, blame is not on the company unless you can prove what they did wrong.
Here is facts:
“To the list of hundreds of schools, hospitals, and community health centers that have received limited allocations of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, you can now add some of New York’s largest employers. In the past week or so 13 companies, including Citigroup (C) and Goldman Sachs (GS), have begun receiving small quantities of the vaccine, according to city health authorities.”
“Citigroup has been supplied with 1,200 units and Goldman with 200, says Jessica Scaperotti, press secretary for the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. The agency has so far approved orders by 29 employers—including 16 that have yet to receive any vaccine—after they were cleared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). Big employers that have received or are scheduled to receive vaccine so far include Time Warner (TWX), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Memorial Sloan-Kettering, New York Presbyterian Healthcare System, and New York University.”
“Health-care workers at those employers are bound by the CDC to distribute the vaccine only to populations deemed to be at high risk of developing serious complications from swine flu: pregnant women, children and young people aged 6 months to 24 years, people who live with or provide care for infants under 6 months (who cannot be vaccinated), people aged 24 to 64 with medical conditions that put them at higher risk for flu-related complications, and health-care workers and emergency medical personnel.”

As jobless rates keep getting worse
The bankers cut lines to the nurse;
Bad debts they accrue
But when there's swine flu
They finally turn risk-averse.

It would help you if you read intelligent comments here are did a little reasearch on line.
It is common place for health departments to go to businesses and give vaccines. If vaccines are limited because of shortage, then are only given to those qualified. As in your example.

Bill Hedges of MO 12:21PM November 07, 2009

Please share the statistics of the number of Wall Street people who are HIGH Risk priority for H1N1. Meanwhile, (and once again) ~ those that need the vaccine the most must fight, stand in long lines and still be turned away. Thankfully no one in my family meets the high risk category....with exception that we are exposed with our chosen profession to everyone else who does.

Dissappointed of IN 10:19PM November 06, 2009

Oh my, what boring partisan swill. Yes, that was an unfortunate lapse of judgment on the part of the NYC health authorities... but... if swine flu vaccination (and healthcare at large) were left to the private sector, the banks would still get their flu-shots first (along with Mary Kate's kid no doubt) except it wouldn't be a mistake... and it wouldn't just be the banks that stepped to the front of the line, it would be the entire upper class.
I wonder if Mary Kate's diabetes baby would be focusing on the trivial "why nots" of public health care if her mother couldn't afford to fill her insulin prescriptions?

"If it weren't for Government's involvement in healthcare, you wouldn't have even known that swine flu was an issue. Who would have informed you? The private sector? Religious groups?"
Yes. TV for one. So happens my Doctor and home delivery drug company both advised me of flu shot. Neither are government.
"Private drug makers will not make flu vaccines unless the government subsidizes them - Flu vaccines are not profitable, since the flu strain changes every year."
The strain used for these vaccines is supplied by government. Yes it changes often. I'll bet it is profitable. Is subsidized for certain groups. We still have one company in America that does make.
"If you are frustrated with the long wait for the vaccine, support comprehensive healthcare."
That is self serving on your part. They did have a problem with slowness. That problem was solved. You were wrong when you said "This flu strain is very slow to mature and culture."
"The vaccine problem is not cause we have comprehensive healthcare, its because we don't."
These problems occur for many reason. You pushing program is just nonsense. I bet you were not so understanding for President in 2004 when it happened last time. News reports showed Democrats giving him 'what for'.

Bill Hedges of MO 6:23PM November 06, 2009

The government's fault? Really?
"The reasons for the receding estimates start with the fact that the H1N1 virus, known as swine flu, is not growing as fast as expected in the eggs used to produce vaccine. Moreover, some manufacturers did not even know how little they were producing until a vaccine potency test became available around August, federal officials say."
