More than 68,000 kids to get shots…
Linda Lingle, the Governor of Hawaii, has said the Hawai’i National Guard are to be used to administer the swine flu jab to every person in the state.
“It’s not just going to be children, or course,” Lingle said in a report on the start of a school innoculation programme in the Honulua Advertiser.
“It will be everybody.”

“Funny how when someone dies of swineflu with a pre-existing condition they died from swineflu – no question. And if someone dies from the vaccine with a pre-existing condition they died from the pre-existing condition – no question.”
“The Norwegian news paper VG reports that a woman in her twenties died just three days after receiving the “swine flu” shot. Of course they also report that she had a “underlying hart disease” which more than likely will be blamed for her death. This is a pattern that by now is clearly recognizable…”
The silence about vaccine deaths in media is due to the confidential contracts with the vaccine manufacturers.
School nurses mistakenly gave the swine flu vaccine to two students who didn’t sign up for it – including a Brooklyn girl with epilepsy who wound up in the hospital.
“I was outraged,” Naomi Troy, 26, told the Daily News after her 6-year-old daughter, Nikiyah Torres-Pierre, had a possible allergic reaction to the shot.
Officials at Public School 335 in Crown Heights called an ambulance to take Nikiyah to SUNY Downstate Medical Center when she fell ill following the arm jab.
“My stomach was hurting, and I was itching,” Nikiyah said after she was released from the hospital.
The snafu and a similar mixup at a Staten Island school came in the first days of the city’s in-school H1N1 vaccination program.
City officials have stressed the vaccine is safe and urged parents to sign up for it – though less than half have sent in permission slips.
