Inmates get H1N1 vaccine and children are told to wait... this is killing kids and babies like crazy and they want to give it to the inmates first... that's the stupidest thing i ever heard..

 

[ape]

thats some bs..if i wanted my daughter to get the vaccine, and was told to wait, no one would be able to control me!!

Because Swine Flu's just sooooo much worse than the regular seasonal flu....

I understand and agree with your anger, however you have to look at the other side. An outbreak in a prison would spread to guards and their families, and a lot of people are in prison for minor crimes. They have families at home who would like to see them survive their jail time to come home.

And for the taxpayers, an outbreak like that would mean big money spent on inmates.

stop spazing about h1n1 its no worse than the regular flue, the only way it can kill anyone is if the person who has it gets to dehydrated (which is easly fixed by DRINKING WATER)

yes it seams stupid but there are LAWS FORCING the government to pay for inmate care because of past lawsuits that require them to do so that's why inmates always get the first of any vaccine when it comes out. (the gov lost the lawsuits)

I'm pretty sure they would (if they could) give it to the spazzing mothers and there children out there first because i'm sure there as sick of or more sick than me of hearing this h1n1 crap.

I can kinda see their point. They can't exactly quarantine every prisoner who gets it so it doesn't spread to the general population. An outbreak in a prison would be very bad, spread very quickly, and prisoners might riot because medical care isn't equipped to deal with a large scale outbreak of something like this. I can however take measures to limit my child's exposure to the public and sick people while waiting for the vaccine. I don't put my kid in daycare, especially not now with this flu going around, so it's not really a problem for me.

They told you to wait? What does that mean? Children and pregnant women are on the list of those who qualify to get one first. Do you mean they ran out of vaccines at a clinic you went to? That stinks! But really like someone else said the regular flu kills more people than h1n1 has, but i would be right at that next clinic if i were you to try again. That is crap about inmates getting shots first though. Sorry to hear that stuff.

"Killing like crazy"? Really? Babies are dropping like flies?

WHERE?

By last count, 1000 people have died of H1N1. More people die in traffic accidents. More people die of bee stings. More people die of food allergies.

So, first of all, calm down. The government and the media want you panicky so they can control you. The more you panic, the more money you spend on things you don't need. Economic stimulus anyone?

Second:
There just might be a reason.
When you cram people all together within a small area, you're ASKING for trouble when it comes to epidemics. There's no way to easily quarantine, or even stop the disease once it gets into that population. The expense of trying to cure/save those inmates will be astronomical.

I personally would rather have the inmates get it first because if there are any deadly side effects at least it wouldnt be in my precious baby. Sorry if that sounds rude, but it is just my feelings
