Who decides...

...who gets priority access to flu vaccinations?
-- TORONTO -- A grief-stricken father whose otherwise healthy teenage son died suddenly from the swine flu struggled to make sense of the tragedy Tuesday and urged other parents to keep a close eye on their ill children.

Paul Frustaglio said it took barely more than a day for the H1N1 flu virus to kill Evan - his "best friend" - who turned 13 last month. "He fell so quickly," Frustaglio told The Canadian Press. "I was watching him. I was there when he died."
As the father of a 13 year-old boy... this story sends shivers down my spine.
Evan Frustaglio's death on Monday came on the same day as health authorities across Canada began rolling out a vaccination program against H1N1.

The teen would not have been considered a priority for the flu shot because he wasn't in a high-risk group.
Not a priority, huh? I guess that's easy for some government bureaucrat to say. And why did this kid have to go to a production line walk-in clinic? No family doctor? It took us six years to get a family physician here in Hastings County... how is that anywhere near acceptable?

What's Dalton been doing with our tax dollars?

Worse yet... if you live in British Columbia... here's who the government is most worried about.

Seeing a pattern yet?

Thre's a lesson here, folks... friends don't let friends vote liberal.
