A new poll confirms that the Obama administration and federal health officials have failed to convince Americans — at least those in the most populous state of California — of the seriousness of a H1N1 swine flu pandemic.

POLISH PM PUTS HEALTH OF THE NATION FIRST AND REJECTS H1N1 VACCINE!
WARSAW, Poland — Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Friday that his government won’t buy vaccines for swine flu that have NOT been properly tested or from producers who won’t take responsibility for possible side effects.
“Today we are dealing with great pressure from pharmaceutical firms … we are dealing with expectations that hundreds of millions of zlotys (dollars) will be spent on vaccine while no one wants to guarantee that it has no side effects,” he said.
He stressed that the few dozen swine cases in Poland have been mild and no deaths have been reported.Wise man.

To hear his enemies talk, you might think Paul Offit is the most hated man in America. A pediatrician in Philadelphia, he is the coinventor of a rotavirus vaccine that could save tens of thousands of lives every year. Yet environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slams Offit as a “biostitute” who whores for the pharmaceutical industry. Actor Jim Carrey calls him a profiteer and distills the doctor’s attitude toward childhood vaccination down to this chilling mantra: “Grab ‘em and stab ‘em.” Recently, Carrey and his girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy, went on CNN’s Larry King Live and singled out Offit’s vaccine, RotaTeq, as one of many unnecessary vaccines, all administered, they said, for just one reason: “Greed.”
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Up to 30 million doses of vaccine against the pandemic H1N1 flu have been delivered to the U.S. government and production is now picking up, officials said on Monday.
But they said more studies confirm that children under the age of 9 will need two doses to be fully protected.

As the push gets under way to immunize Americans against swine flu and the seasonal flu, infectious-disease experts warn that many adults haven’t received vaccinations for at least half a dozen other preventable diseases—some of which could put people who get influenza at even greater risk for complications and death.
I’ll take my chances, thanks. Emphasis mine.

PARIS — Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School will be the site of a National Guard riot control drill Thursday morning to prepare in the event of a panic over distribution of serum to treat the swine flu.
Thinking About Swine Flu
As the head of a household about to expand by one, I find myself doing research on swine flu, vaccines and possible ramifications. It’s in my nature, and it’s part of the job. Package deal.
Without sounding alarmist, conspiratorial or plain nuts, I spend a great deal of time reading about mercury, squaline and a (rushed?) vaccine that may or may not do what we think it should. I know the smartest minds in medicine are furiously working to head this thing off at the pass; I also know a few large pharmaceutical companies stand to make a lot of money if the swine flu vaccine actually works. The two aims being distinctly at odds with one another is not lost on me.
I don’t know what course of action is the right one. I do know this is an issue where all of our knowledge, intutition and beliefs will be tested. The famous rubber will meet the famous road.
To be continued…
Less than four months after its publication, the Department of Defense (DOD) has agreed to review a controversial study that appears to link Gulf War syndrome (GWS) with a banned substance used in experimental vaccines.
The study, conducted by scientists at Tulane University Medical School, found that an overwhelming majority of sick veterans who had served in the Gulf War, and had received at least one vaccination, tested positive for antibodies to a naturally occurring substance called squalene. None of the healthy veterans in the study tested positive for squalene antibodies.
This is an old article (circa 2000) but the presence of squaline antibodies in soliders suffering from Gulf War Syndrome seems a startling corollary to the potential use of squaline in upcoming swine flu vaccines. Emphasis mine.
A complicated list of who should get pandemic flu vaccine in the fall is now set. When the vaccine starts arriving in September, first in line will be pregnant women; the caretakers of infants; children and young adults; older people with chronic illness; and health-care workers.
Read into the second page about multiple-dose forms containing thimerosal (antibacterial additive containing mercury) which supposedly was eliminated from vaccines. And we’re going to expose women and unborn children to this? Emphasis mine.
(CNN) — In a race to beat the flu season, medical institutes across the United States will begin human trials for a new H1N1 flu vaccine starting in early August, the National Institutes of Health announced Wednesday.
Yes, a rushed vaccine and short-timeframe human trials. What could possibly go wrong?!? Emphasis mine.
A swine flu vaccine will be fast-tracked for use in Britain within five days once it is developed, and 130 million doses are on order.
U.S. swine flu vaccinations could begin in October with children at schools among the first in line, the Obama administration said Thursday as the president and his Cabinet urged states to figure out now how they’ll tackle the virus’ all-but-certain resurgence.
