The Swine Flu and Winnie the Pooh
Swine flu vaccine won't be ready for next wave
A Vaccine against the Mexican swine flu is likely to arrive too late for most people, vaccine officials told New Scientist between a flurry of high-level industry meetings this week.
The US has one vaccine plant, owned by French drug giant Sanofi-Aventis, which could in theory produce enough for the US population. However, the US has no advance purchase order in place.
"It only takes three days to grow the virus in eggs, but weeks for testing and formulating," Hessel adds. That means no vaccine until September, and no real quantities until October. Then countries have to administer millions of doses, which take weeks to take effect.
In theory, countries that place new orders now might get vaccine in November.

LOL I love this Winnie the Pooh graphic.
I have only posted about this flu once, when it first happened. Mostly I was just trying to see how much of it was the crisis thing the democrats love to push or how bad it really was.
This is just an update on the latest news.
....Thank you Jack for sending this to me.

Miracles! How have we all survived the great disasters predicted by the MSM. Y2K, giant asteroids, avian flu, swine flu, global cooling/warming. The only entity dying en masse is the MSM.

LOL, thank you Chrissie.
What diversions would the media and the Whitehouse hide behind if not for non-events like the flu while they ply their subterfuge of transparent government? No more or no less death rate than any other influenza outbreak just a lot more hype!!!
I am enjoying the fact that the media is putting a few bite marks in the ass of liar Pelosi, but for anyone who has been inside a courtroom they'll recognise the slimeball tactics of the lawyers as they distort the truth.
