Truckloads Of Unused Swine Flu Vaccines

MYFOXNY.COM - After months of fear, media coverage and government warnings there wasn't as much demand for the swine flu vaccine in New York state as expected.

Truckloads of swine flu vaccines are being returned by counties that say the expected demand for the shots never happened.

When the state's H1N1 vaccination program kicked off in the fall there were fears that there wouldn't be enough of the new vaccine to go around.

The flu strain has not spread as wide as feared and some people were also unsure of pumping a quickly developed vaccine into their bodies.

On January 1, state health officials urged people who haven't been vaccinated to get a shot.

"When it's in a shortage, everyone clamors for it," said Dr. Richard Daines, commissioner of the state Department of Health. "Now that it's abundant, people don't think they need to fight for it."

New York is among 11 states that has widespread flu outbreaks.  Daines says another wave of flu could hit the state.

The swine flu first turned up in New York last April at St. Francis Preparatory School in Queens.

There is absolutely NO WAY of knowing how many people are likely to catch a particular kind of flu. It is also possible that all those people who got vaccinated stopped the spread of the flu.

Little harm was done, and perhaps much good.

Little harm ...

I heard over 8,000 people died from H1N1.

Compare that to the 1,200 or so who died because of Katrina.

The Obama Adminstration was in charge of getting the vaccine to the people. They failed. People died. 8 times more people than died because of Katrina.

Can you imagine is this had happened during the Bush presidency?

We hear nothing about it from the state controlled media.

Shocker. The socialist machine doesn't let that sort of information get spread around.

In my opinion...hand hygiene...is at least the equal if not better than a flu shot!
