WHO: Pandemic flu vaccine production to fall short

GENEVA – Global production of swine flu vaccines will be " substantially less "

than the previous maximum forecast of 94 million doses a week, the World Health

Organization said Friday.

The number of doses produced in a year will therefore fall short of the 4.9

billion doses the global health body previously hoped could be available for the

pandemic, WHO spokesman Hartl told reporters in Geneva.

Production will be lower because some manufacturers are still turning out

vaccines for seasonal flu — an illness that can be serious in sick and elderly

people, Hartl said.

Production problems also have reduced the weekly output of pandemic vaccine, he

said.

The United States, France, Britain and six other countries announced Thursday

that they will share part of their vaccine supply with poorer countries.

WHO welcomed the move Friday, saying it " demonstrates the commitment of these

countries to fairness in sharing of scare resources. "

" Current supplies of pandemic vaccine are inadequate for a world population in

which virtually everyone is susceptible to infection by a new and readily

contagious virus, " it said.

WHO says that in theory all the world's 6.3 billion people should receive at

least one dose of vaccine against the pandemic strain of H1N1 — also known as

swine flu — to ensure comprehensive protection against the disease, which has so

far killed some 3,500 people.

With such an exact figure, one has to wonder if they actually know,

not only how many, but WHO? Oh wait...with their name, they must!

haha - they are just worried that they won't be able to sell them all. Let's

tell those people we're going to be short so they will panic. I love how they

say the elderly, PREGNANT women, and young children will have top priority!

Let's not be too obvious about our agenda, now!

True, and that wouldn't be the first time they created a bigger market by

pretending to be low on stock. I don't know if you remember a few years ago the

company Chiron had its plant shut down because its flu vaccine was contaminated.

Shortages abounded and the trusty media pounced all over it. People went crazy,

lining up in the streets as if they were trying to get tickets for a rock

concert. I'm surprised there weren't scalpers selling fake vaccines. Oops, wait.

There were.

Anyway, people died in line. One old lady passed out from the heat and died:

Looky here, especially at the end where it discusses the $200-206 million it

would lose:

This is good, too:

I remember that. I was pregnant for the first time and so so worried b/c I

couldn't get a flu vaccine like my doctor told me to. I went everywhere in

search of one, but no luck. Or should I say, I lucked out. Guess that was a

sign. No telling how much worse my son with autism would have been if I had

gotten a flu vaccine in addition to all the crap I stupidly let them shoot into

him. Stupid stupid stupid me.
