The Honolulu Advertiser reports today that the state has had to change its method of allocating H1N1 flu vaccine after many doctors, and large providers like Kaiser, were given only minimal supplies.
But the first-come, first-served distribution method has forced many pediatricians to set up waiting lists for swine flu vaccinations, even as many pharmacies statewide still have the H1N1 flu vaccine in stock. And it has left some of the largest health care providers in the state with little or no vaccine to give to patients for weeks.
But readers of this site knew something was up. Back on October 26, more than a month ago, I reported:

i heard someone dissing blogs as people’s way of getting news these days, and i immediately thought of your blog. her remark was that bloggers don’t fact check and don’t provide reliable information, but in the case of your blog, that’s absolutely not true. i’m glad you’re blogging and i like checking in every day to get the scoops … and cat photos 🙂
Problem is that most blogs are not run by legitimate journalists capable of real journalism. As a whole blogs are a poor substitute for real journalistic enterprises. Ian should be paid real money to do the job he does.
At a neighborhood board meeting last week, I asked State Comptroller Russ Saito to talk with the DOH about the issue with Kaiser. The DOH stance, which he repeated, has been that Kaiser had not chosen to participate. Kaiser physicians and nurses, however, claimed that the DOH was not giving them what they needed for high priority patients. To be fair, it’s possible that misinformation was also occurring within Kaiser, but overall the state has not handled this well.
Anyway, I definitely did read it here first (after my own family experience). Shows how important this and other local blogs are in identifying news that the MSM takes a while to notice.
By and large I do not trust the vaccination concept. believe it is another control aspect of the government and the AMA.

And don’t get me started on pregnant women taking chemicals:
“…they found that anything that stimulated the mother’s immune system could raise the risk of autism and schizophrenia in the baby. To show that it is not the virus they stimulated the pregnant animal’s immune system with special chemicals alone and got the same effect.
Another set of studies found that stimulating the mother’s immune system during pregnancy not only increased the baby’s risk of having a seizure, but increased seizure risk even when the child became an adult. So we see that activating immunity, as with vaccination, can significantly raise the risk of your child having a seizure, even extending into adulthood.
Its is also known that stimulating the mother’s immune system during pregnancy can trigger preclampsia in the mother and hypertension in the baby, when the baby becomes an adult. The bottom line is vaccinating a pregnant women is vary hazardous to the mother’s health as well as the baby.

I feel like that scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian where the “revolutionaries” are meeting and John Cleese asks, rhetorically, “What have the Romans eer done for us?” After a few seconds a hand goes up and someone responds, hesitantly, “the aqueduct?” Okay, apart from the aqueduct, what hae the Romans ever done for us? Another hand…”sanitation?” Okay, Cleese’s character answers, except for the adueduct and sanitation, what have the Romans ever done fo us? It goes on. Education, etc.
And what have vaccinations ever done for us? Virtually eradicated smallpox? Okay, except for smallpox, what have vaccinations ever done for us? Largely eliminated childhood polio (very real to me, as part of that last generation already in school when the polio vaccine was first discovered)? Well, except for doing away with smallpox and polio, what have vaccines ever done for us? Protected us from rabies? Actually, the list of diseases that we don’t worry much about because of the development of vaccines is pretty long.
I don’t think paranoia about vaccines is either rational or at all productive.
There is no quicker way to lose all credibility in the healthcare debate than by coming out irrationally against vaccines.
I’m just saying, Ian… We shouldn’t have to swallow each and every one the gummint hands us.
…coming out rationally against some, (not all) following some red flags… is what I am saying to take a look at…
