H1N1 Vaccines Going to Big Banks

" Welcome back. Happy hour every one if it hasn't been hard enough for people who really need this swine flu vaccine to get it welding considered this large firms. Black Morgan Stanley Citigroup and Goldman Sachs aren't getting shipments of vaccine. For the employees now -- on Wall Street firms have agreed to only treat their. High risk employees under CDC guidelines. Morgan Stanley for one has decided to send all of its 1000 doses. Received nearby hospitals who had people waiting. To get this flu vaccine the federal CDC claims that guidelines outlined to city and state agencies for distribution. Follow options as and that and that. But these medical contributor doctor Marc Siegel joining us for happy hour doctor Siegel goodness CEO. Yet another reason for people to be outraged at the big banks that they got the vaccine when -- hospital. Doesn't happen."

" This is all of code is there is coming together in one place I mean you have a -- a bank that's being bailed out by the federal government but they have a hotline and they say. Get us some of the stage one in one shot which isn't going to the hospital. And I gotta tell you the message this is horrendous -- is that. Kids are really being affected the most -- with chronic conditions especially pregnant women. You're not really finding them and in the these Wall Street firms so even if I say well Goldman Sachs can give their shots to kids -- really care. And hospitals need to give them the people that have chronic illness -- And they thought differently after that pregnant women except they may be out on maternity leave but. Right they -- I'm not saying that nobody is getting the shot that -- that at the Wall Street firms but for sure I would rather be in hospitals in pediatricians offices. You know that's who needs it lets get our kids vaccinated first because we've seen over a hundred deaths in kids already. We've seen over a thousand hospitalizations of kids let me tell you why it's because. Older people that were born before 1957. Saw a flu that was similar to this one and have some immunity. So the people that are the big breasts that some of these Wall Street firms the golden parachute types really don't need the shot as much as their kids and grandkids do."

" At that point two million that are supposedly high risk I think your point is good when it's mostly children and people were not in these very. Now it's interesting to me that they got it at all because my pediatrician tried to get it and she. My son is asthmatic I mean in theory he should have been shot before the grass at Goldman Sachs and yet she didn't get it. She was unable to get it now Goldman and all the other firms are saying well we -- doesn't really follow protocol we -- the shall we got them."

" Okay I'm going to confide something on the air here which is that some whenever I'm going to add some credence to your point. Among the list. I'm on the list to get the shot so is my office partner retreats asthmatics were both on the list we went through all the various paperwork to get on the right list. I found -- with -- head of vaccines as for New York City. And I called her directly and use my -- I got the shot but he still hasn't gotten it. That makes the point that if you have the right connections -- you know would call. And it's not a conspiracy theory you know it's just that the government is so disorganized. And they can't get disorganized and they already have a shortage of shots by the way my opinion is they made the wrong. On vaccine they're busy making the seasonal flu vaccine. And they should have transitioned a lot earlier to make in this -- not to mention the fact that our. Fear mongers are saying vaccines vaccines were afraid of -- so we have modern technology here Baxter is making a vaccine using modern technology. Baxter's the United States company and guess what the vaccine is being used in Europe and Great Britain we can why can't improve care."

" Doctor you know they say it's not a conspiracy theory but didn't even the fact that you were able to use your pool. The call loved the head of the New York vaccine. To do good to get a shot. -- underscores what happens with these giant corporations they have access that for example my father as a small business owner would never be able to get his employees. Pregnant or not at risk for not any of this vaccination. It is a conspiracy -- yes --"

" I agree with you wouldn't call it -- conspiracy but I would say this it points out that big gov. It's not the solution to all your problems because the government knows who's in the corporations and they used to working together so you know -- Paul Revere the little guy you don't know."

" The doctor -- you use good old fashioned networking. He is networking and he tried it like we don't do try to open the red tape try to like who I know there. It was good old fashioned networking. But -- now a lot older now I feel bad but I got the swine flu vaccine because I network and doctor Siegel and traits. Yeah."

" at that this winter got -- little kids I'm going to give it to her kids can't anarchy so agenda and where is -- I yeah. I don't conspiracy and it's not your brother you. Mark to get stuff done to me not --"

" Government assistance I wouldn't do that I --"

" The -- the -- McGovern."

" Ministers I wanted to point to this that's not conspiracy I gotta tell you. The private distributors is just the fact they do a much better job at distributing flu vaccines and the government has done in this case out of pandemic and everyone's going crazy. But the usual people that actually do this are out of the loop for the H1N1 shot and they usually get it delivered all around now make -- with a shortage -- his right now. We're going to see more and more of it it'll become easier to get I certainly hope so could we need this shot yeah. And we have a big pandemic here on mild I. But it's the end."

" The -- the point of all this don't rely on the government for that Ford job's what -- the theme of the show today doctors think doesn't make you very much on the I'm -- in this case I really -- little thing. They'll do well thank you doctor evidently getting you get the shot are hurt her kids you back. She got the terrible -- out then well you ship."

" Is it. Okay."

" You're here when my favorite."

" The Guinea pig to take this shot live on TV I was a demo or to chicken to do it it would -- it was a -- single -- to be compliant with the shot. --"
