Further H1N1 vaccine restrictions (but the “public option” is the only thing that can save us)
In Montgomery county, Maryland, the supply of vaccine has been restricted to pregnant woman only. No longer can kids and adults under 25 years, or other high risk groups get the vaccine due to widespread shortages.
I’d like to remind everyone that preparation for this flu season started back during last flu season, and this is wholly a government directed program to create and distribute a government designated vaccine by private companies.
I’d also like to remind everyone that even with the knowledge that during this year the debate on healthcare would be in the forefront, officials still decided to distribute the vaccine they said we’d have plenty of via Soviet-style long lines at government run clinics.
