Britain 'preparing to offload millions of unwanted swine flu vaccines'

"Ministers are preparing to offload millions of unwanted swine flu vaccines, it has emerged, as officials predicted that there will be no third wave of the pandemic this winter.

"Millions of pounds could be wasted if the Government is unable to get out of orders for the vaccine it has placed with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the pharmaceutical giant.

"Officials confirmed that they are considering a number of options, including attempting to sell or give away millions of the vaccines."

How is it that with all the forms of communication available to us today, no one seems to know what's really going on?

Pandemic of BS.

While I am glad that drug companies are producing vaccines for these "super strains" of illnesses that are cropping up, it does seem that there is way too much margin for corruption.

We are all told of the impending death that will occur... run and be the first to get these vaccines! To me, the hype was way over-inflated just to make someone a buck.

This sensationalism is happening with the news and weather reports lately, also the threat of terrorism....

People are starting to become disinterested, to the point where we no longer can differenciate when we need to be proactive and when we should just keep ignoring the bullshit.
