While some think that focusing on how Citigroup and Goldman Sachs received swine flu vaccines is distracting, this is kind of annoying. The NY Times reports, "Citigroup has received 1,200 doses, more than half of what it requested, health officials said, and in late October, Goldman received 200 of the 5,400 doses it asked for. By contrast, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center received 200 of the 27,400 doses that it requested for its workers, according to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene." City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said, "My understanding is that Citi had multiple clinics and facilities, and they placed several orders. The person filling these might not have realized it was one company."

Is there anyone that is surprised by this? If they found a drug for immortality, you can rest assured only some folks would get it.
I understand why people who are at risk, like the elderly or pregnant, get the seasonal flu vaccine, but I don't understand why it's made available to everyone who wants it through work. The flu is not going to kill a healthy twenty or thirty-year-old who can afford to take a few days off work to get better. There should be a better distribution system to make sure that the people who need it get it.
Egglatine is absolutely correct.
Anyhow-- I want to encourage people to hate bankers for every possible reason-- plutocrats are taking over America. They are the real creeping menace. Fight back!
I'm on flu BS overload here, I thought the reason why this flu was different was because it would kill a relatively healthy 20-30 year old. so the youngs are freakin out.
the olds had decades and decades of flu immunity.
