My family has swine flu now. It is unpleasant, but I'm able to care for three sick children and myself. It isn't pretty, but we're essentially okay.
I've been sicker with other flus, in fact. #aporkalypse

The biggest health risk with H1N1 is absenteeism. From work, at big companies. Babies and children will not die unless there are complications. Everyone in my family save my wife and I have had the virus, including an 8-year-old with asthma - it's easily combatted with Tamiflu.
Pulitzer-worthy post, John. #aporkalypse

Which, unless Goldman and Citi have recently taken to hiring teenagers and pregnant women exclusively, means that there is zero justification for them having, much less STOCKPILING these vaccines.
But it's not surprising that Wall Street once again has a tin ear for public relations. When the NY Fed, Goldman, Citi AND Chase get these vaccines while pregnant women wait for hours in lines, it's another great demonstration of how fucking clueless the bankers are. #aporkalypse

The CDC dispensed the vaccine - there is a limited supply and they are charged with determining how to distribute it.

The report John linked indicates that the vaccine is for high-value personnel within corporations. Since absenteeism is the most critical highest risk presented by H1N1, prevented large losses by inoculating executives is numerically wise. Sorry! There are federal guidelines alluded to in this memo - we should see if Goldman's receipt of vaccine is somehow abnormal rather than distorting every piece of news related to the firm in some yellow fever of mudraking rage:

I really do try to be the funny fatalist. #aporkalypse
