Swine flu may infect half the U.S. population this year, hospitalize 1.8 million patients and lead to as many as 90,000 deaths, more than twice the number killed in a typical seasonal flu, White House advisers said.
In a report by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, President Barack Obama today was urged to speed vaccine production and name a senior member of the White House staff, preferably the homeland security adviser, to take responsibility...

The question is why? Is this part of the 'let the old ones die off' crowd?
Or is it, make the young ones with the less defined immune systems sickly, then we can control em all.
President Barack Obama was urged by his scientific advisory council to speed vaccine production as the best way to ease the burden on the health care system. Initial doses should be accelerated to mid-September to provide shots for as many as 40 million people, the panel said in a report released yesterday. Members also recommended Obama name a senior member of the White House staff, preferably the homeland security adviser, to take responsibility for decision-making on the pandemic. ‘Serious Threat’ “This isn’t the flu that we’re used to,” said Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. health and human services secretary. “The 2009 H1N1 virus will cause a more serious threat this fall. We won’t know until we’re in the middle of the flu season how serious the threat is, but because it’s a new strain, it’s likely to infect more people than usual.” Data from clinical trials to assess the safety and effectiveness of swine flu vaccines will start to become available in mid-September, health officials reported Aug. 21. Full results from the two-dose trials won’t be available until mid-October.

Hmm, Obama says that the dates should be pushed up to September for the initial does, BUT........
“We are making every preparation effort assuming a safe and effective vaccine will be available in mid-October,” Sebelius said today at the CDC’s Atlanta offices.
A "so called safe" vaccine won't be availble until October. So, even at this late date in this flu mess we are still getting OBVIOUS doublespeak. The sad thing is I am willing to bet that most people who read that article skimmed right over that one.
There is no way to really know the truth about this, every single place you look it is full of inconsistencies, doublespeak, and outright lies!
My god I dread this fall and winter
