Obama Declares H1N1 Flu National Emergency! October 24, 2009 Video

President Obama signed a proclamation declaring the H1N1 influenza a national emergency, giving doctors and medical facilities greater leeway in responding to the flu pandemic.

Obama signed the declaration late Friday, which the White House said allows medical treatment facilities to better handle a surge in flu patients by waiving federal requirements on a case-by-case basis.

"The foundation of our national approach to the H1N1 flu has been preparedness at all levels -- personal, business, and government -- and this proclamation helps that effort by advancing our overall response capability," the White House said in a statement.

In the proclamation, Obama said the pandemic keeps evolving, the rates of illness are rising rapidly in many areas and there's a potential "to overburden health care resources."

Because of vaccine production delays, the government has backed off initial, optimistic estimates that as many as 120 million doses would be available by mid-October. As of Wednesday, only 11 million doses had been shipped to health departments, doctor's offices and other providers, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The government now hopes to have about 50 million doses of vaccine for the so-called swine flu out by mid-November and 150 million in December.

The flu virus has to be grown in chicken eggs, and the yield hasn't been as high as was initially hoped, officials explained.

H1N1 is more widespread now than it's ever been. Health authorities say almost 100 children have died from the flu, and 46 states now have widespread flu activity.

The CDC is not forthcoming on into and this virus is being hyped irresponsibly. Also, a recent lawsuit in Seattle will tell you everything~ Again, see: 91177info, here on youtube.

joygarner: Declaring a "state of emergency" is required to overcome our constitutional rights. there is no emergency save the threat to our freedom and perhaps our very survival if this vaccine is forced upon us.

Oglenthorne: Obama: I hereby declare a state of emergency, it's for your own good. Do you love me now? American People: Not hardly, ya commie asshole. Obama: Ok, then I hereby declare martial law. Fuck y'all.
