Update, October 27th, 2009: Amazingly, if you’ve been following mainstream media, not a single report regarding the actual numbers of predicted vaccine doses, where they are coming from and in what specific quantities, by manufacturer, IS EVER MENTIONED. The real news is that 120 million doses of H1N1 “swine flu” vaccine in October—forecast by Obama Administration officials in the Spring; to 40-50 million doses by Oct. 15—promised in September; has been reduced to 16 million doses actually distributed as of Oct. 20—in a United States of 310 million people.
Now the rest of the story.
Because the survival of the U.S. standard of living is so inherantly dependent on foreign production of nearly everything we consume, we cannot supply our own vaccination demands for the H1N1 Swine Flu. And because we remain dependent on Glaxo and AstraZeneca Plc, both based in London, Sanofi-Aventis SA of Paris, Novartis AG in Basel, Switzerland, and CSL Ltd. of Melbourne to provide the bulk of the U.S. supply, if those suppliers cannot or choose not to meet the demand, the U.S. will suffer the consequences.
Lou Dobbs seemed shocked by this a couple nights ago, but he shoudln’t have been, and neither should you.
Mainstream media continues to interview US manufacturers not expected to supply even 2% of the nation’s vaccine needs, as though their citing of the difficulty of producing it, is the cause of the shortage. They show footage of long lines of people waiting, or a human interest story about one suffering child who received the vaccine and is now recovering, but they do not report on the fact that Swiss drugmaker Novartis has just announced it will be unable to deliver nearly ANY injectable H1N1 vaccine to the United States until January/February 2010.
Novartis, which we hoped and planned to be our largest supplier, was contracted for 85 million of the full original plan of 250 million doses. This promises that the current flu-shot chaos and shortages will continue through the rest of 2009, and swine flu may already be hitting its peak. It has killed over 1,000 Americans–some 300 this month–and hospitalized 20,000.
This is just another example of the failure of globalism, or more approporiately: global interdependency. The flaw of globalism is the inherent weakness of countries around the globe unable to meet the basic needs of self-sufficiency. Globalism creates this weakness, then exploits it through top-down control of the exchange of goods and services through an Imperial monetarist system.
The very fear of a collapse of that global interdependency sent the U.S. government into a fit of panic, which resulted in the bailout of that system, to restore the solvency of international banks that hold countries hostage to the systemic threat of globalism.
Globalism, in effect, turns America into a powerless dependent, a ward of the system, as it does to all participants. In a world dominated by globalism, all the power rests within the flawed system, as expressed by the cyclical bailout penalty to restore the interdependence upon which it thrives.
But Sovereign Nation States are self-sufficient, as specified in our United States Constitution, the obsolete relic we abandoned in pursuit of the harmony and balance of globalism.
The Obama Administration should never have entrusted five private pharmaceutical giants to supply the country’s need for vaccine, making no attempt to mobilize national U.S. laboratory capabilities. So a couple hundred more children may die in America. I hate to see that, but if that’s what it takes to wake up this country, it will actually be a smaller price to pay, than what we have paid this past year so far – it serves now as a harbinger of dependency to come.

My comment is not for this particular post. It’s the way I view not only this post but your entire site. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! Our tax dollars has already made these white collar criminals too wealthy already!
But why should they think any different? We’ve bailed out these people several times over the past century. They knew the taxpayers money would come to the rescue when they entered their ‘den of theives’.
