Swine flu hysteria

WITH all health cutbacks and closing of units the HSE can suddenly find €85 million and order one million masks for a viral flu epidemic which has not affected the Irish people except for a few patients treated at home by their families and general practitioners.

There is hysteria over swine flu, which is a mild flu normally, encouraged by the HSE, yet, we cannot find the few million euro needed to save the lives of the young female population with a cervical cancer vaccine who are to give birth to the future Irish nation.
