Hey remember that PANDEMIC that amounted to shit all?

This BBC article says the UK purchased 90 million jabs and only 4.63m of these had been used as of Feb 2010.

This April BBC article says there is a 34m stockpile of jabs left. They ordered 120m, will pay for 44m, have used 6m, will give 3.8m to Africa, 10.6m are staying in GP clinics and 23.6m will be left in “reserve”.

JUST the stockpile is priced at £100m to £150m

Reserve? I thought the vaccine had an expiry date? 18months, and, Canada found a boosted jab loses potency faster, so shortened that jabs expiry date from 18months to 6months. 45% of Canadians were jabbed,  they still have 35 million doses left, are donating some etc etc.  Cost for Canada? $400 million.

Take a look at France. 94 million jabs cost 600 million euros, less than 10 percent got vaccinated.

The cost of swine flu in Wales stands at £35m and could rise to £60m

“The pandemics of Sars, bird flu and swine flu have cost the global economy an estimated $200 billion.”

Whilst it’s over for us, it seems poorer countries are now rushing to use up donated stock.

150,000 vaccinated in Tasmania, with the government posting on its website encouraging people it’s not too late. AND THEY HAVE CLOWNS FOR KIDS!

What exactly does a flu fighting clown look like? I want pictures of these things. I’m thinking along the lines of Stephen King’s IT in doctors whites armed with a FUCKING HUGE NEEDLE. What do you think?

Look on the brightside, profits are up!

Fuck it, have a song.

A media feast with a side order of fear? Just don’t look at the bill.

Update:  UK Government to use the old jabs to make up for shortfall in current stock of jabs, convenient? Or planned.
