Ummmmm....I think Newsday meant to say that clinical trials for the swine flu virus vaccine will begin in August.

Government tells us to pay taxes, accept universal health care that costs over a trillion, fund pedwalkways and other recreational facilities as part of the health care plan that we all get to fund, and bail out homeowners who haven't cared to be responsible for their own inability to fund the house mortgage right at the time of their home closing.
Now, government tells us to get ready to do it all ourselves and prepare for the pandemic, of course to be funded by us all.
Where is all this private citizen money coming from? I don't have any left after my current taxes and bills, yet Obama Administration has a clear penchant for spending outlandishly, and without appropriate review by creation of its very political czar system that is independent of any control by congress. What is going one in good ole USA?

If I get Swine flu I'm going to make sure I get to the elected official's office and sneeze and cough and use the bathroom and let loose the explosive diarrhea it causes.

These clowns NEED to get on the ball!

Most pharmaceuticals undergo years of clinical trials before going to the market.

Now this vaccine/flu shot, pre-ordered, will undergo clinical trials in August, be shipped in September, and injected by October. This conspiracy theory writes itself, no imagination needed.

Don't let them put those chemicals in your kids.

I have a friend who got the Guillain-Barre Syndrome right after the regular seasonal flu vaccine.(GBS is a known side effect of flu shots) She will never be the same from it, she now suffers from poor circulation in her feet, and her feet are blue and painful all the time. She gets headaches, numbness, right now she has terrible pain in her right calf and can barely walk, she looks terrible and it has been over two years. Please weigh the risks, this poor woman will never be the same.
If you don't get the shot, you will most likely not get the virus anyway, and if you do, chances are you will fully recover and develope immunity and will surely have no long term effects from it.

they have to put mercury and fluoride in the babies starting at a young age so that the future sheep are nice and docile. sounds outlandish yes, but anyone who checks out the effects of those poisons on the brain will begin to understand...

I agree! Clinical trials, like the polio trials in the fifties! It was an experiment and children came down with the polio virus! We are here to once again help ourselves!! Thank you Big Brother!

They used a live virus in the polio vaccine. This practice was continued until the late 1990's when the vaccine was changed to an injection of the dead virus. If you are injected with a dead virus, you will not come down with polio.

Similarly, our yearly flu shots are offered in two forms, a nasal spray which is a live virus, or an injection of a dead virus. Always choose the injection. It is a safer route and it offers protection against the flu, which can be fatal.

I wonder if they will be using Tamiflu? Rumsfield has stock in this. Interesting.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Taurus

Try to keep your energy a little bit more under control. If you scatter in all directions, you'll end up hot and bothered. Mars tends to rev up your engine, but an awkward aspect to Saturn will make everything go in stops and starts. As soon as you try to shift into higher gear you meet immovable objects at the moment, so the solution is to slow down. There are wonderful, uplifting influences hanging around as well as tricky ones, so just hang in there.
