WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.

The White House on Saturday said Obama signed a proclamation that would allow medical officials to bypass certain federal requirements. Officials described the move as similar to a declaration ahead of a hurricane making landfall.



Swine flu is more widespread now than it’s ever been and has resulted in more than 1,000 U.S. deaths so far.

Health authorities say almost 100 children have died from the flu, known as H1N1, and 46 states now have widespread flu activity.

The White House said Obama signed the declaration on Friday evening.

  2. "Bypass certain federal requirements" is so vague! My first thought was that this might allow vaccine makers to switch from egg-based vaccines to the cell-line process, so far not approved as far as I know.

    For more on the cell-line process and its dangers see "Flu Vaccines and the Risk of Cancer" http://laudyms.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/flu-vaccines-and-the-risk-of-cancer/

  3. What this allows is mandatory vaccines, martial law & trucking those that are non compliant, when it comes to lining up for the death shot,fema quarantine camps.

    They've spent billions on the vaccine and most Americans are just saying NO to them. Big Pharma/government can't have that now can they?
