Even with enough vaccine, flu is ten times more dangerous than terrorism
Back in 1998, my wife and I went out to dinner with the extended family -- Grandpop, Aunt & Uncle, miscellaneous cousins and their kids. Somebody had the sniffles, and two days later my wife and I were back at home with a raging case of the flu. The next morning we got the call. My uncle had died . . . of the same flu. Most of the rest of the family was sick too. We were too sick to go to the funeral.
Ever since then, I've gotten a flu shot every year. Until now. I have just spent the afternoon calling all over the region to find a flu shot. Nothing. The town has cancelled all of their vaccination clinics this year, and none of the walk-in clinics or hospitals are giving flu shots.
Screw terrorism. Flu is ten times more dangerous. In 2002, with adequate vaccine supplies, there were still 36,000 flu deaths in the U.S. Towers are falling. Where are Wolfie and Condi when we need them?
I'm pissed. Here's the letter I've sent to my Elected Representatives:

I am absolutely outraged by the flu vaccine crisis.How many extra people will die thanks to this year's vaccine mismanagement?
Since when did you lawmakers outsource
our national health to the U.K.? The excess
deaths this winter will make September 11, 2001
look like a day at the beach.
Action. Now. Please.

And that's the death rate for a normal flu season.
The 1918 flu epidemic killed more people than all the machine guns, shrapnel and poison gas of the world war.

A local (Seattle area) news report tonight stated that there's a trickle of US residents simply going to Canada and getting a flu shot there. Apparently the flu vaccine shortage is largely a US problem.
