Supply and Demand

" Mark this season. Questions and more questions and growing frustration frankly about the H1N1 vaccine hearing gets under -- the hill today. Lawmakers likely to ask the same questions we are right now why is there not enough. Vaccine when we -- the viruses coming a year ago. Doctor Marc Siegel Fox's contributor -- yeah. The author of the book swine flu the new pandemic and doctor good morning. I think you hit the headlines weren't -- this CDC says the virus is now spreading -- in the vaccine is being distributed after all the way it was planned."

" bill that's bad news I mean you know the problem is we didn't know -- year -- I agree with your headline we -- in March and April coming out of Mexico. That this was the predominant flu virus it was crowding out other -- in Mexico it's a pandemic strain which means it doesn't -- seasons. We should have made it the priority and done this vaccine first I think the CDC was afraid. Of another 1976. Where they made a vaccine and gave it the forty million people and there was no pandemic but this time. There was plenty of signs that there was going to be a pandemic instead we kept making the seasonal flu vaccine even though there doesn't seem to be a seasonal flu this year we made the wrong vaccine."

" Actually what the CD say it's ABC -- saying. Is that the only polluted spreading in the country today is is -- one and -- while national -- of those not out there weren't you surprised."

" Well because that's -- first of all the time a year it's you know it's it's November we want normally see this seasonal flu until December it usually doesn't peak until January or February so think that's what's been made this vaccine. If there is a seasonal flu we would have been plenty of time to go back but let's look at the Southern Hemisphere and Australia New Zealand Brazil Argentina Chile Peru. Those countries just went through -- flu season you know with the flow was it was H1N1 very few of other strange so the 115 million doses we have of the seasonal flu vaccine. Well it doesn't look like that's the vaccine we need it may not even be necessary and then they went on a PR campaign bill pushing. Get your yearly flu vaccine -- your yearly flu vaccine but the vaccine we need is the H one and done now do you think you think the government screw this up or did they guess wrong. I think they screwed it up I think they went from fear fear of 1976. Overreacting I think they should leaned on the -- manufactures that we put one point eight billion dollars. Into the manufacture this vaccine to prevent same bill I got up before we can give it -- for free we just don't have it. They're in charge the vaccine manufacturers would listen to them and another point. There's a couple companies here in the United States that are making up to date technology. Using what instead of using antiquated technology using latest techniques. But guess what that's actually it is being exported to Europe. Because our FDA can't get it approved here because of the fear mongers -- way too much fear of vaccines in the United States -- save lives they don't."

" Cost on this CDC also said something yesterday I think is very interest me they are finding those remitted to the hospital -- young people. -- the elderly are not affected by H one and what it at least according to the big numbers so far that now why would detonate."

" Well bill that's drove all pandemic and the reason is. It's been studying the previous pandemic it's because elderly people have immunity. Two other flu viruses that were circulating in this case before 1957. If you were born before 1957. You saw another H1N1 that's very similar to this if you were born -- you didn't. So young people and pregnant women have double problems -- their young. And -- you -- compromise so if you have a a chronic condition. Or -- you're young you are at greater risk here that's particularly troubling -- it may not see the same number of death or hospitalization. But our young are very precious to."
