All you knee-jerk anti-taxers are hilarious. Let's put some things into perspective:

1. The majority of mines in Nevada are owned by foreign conglomerates.
2. These foreign conglomerates pay next to nothing in taxes.
3. These foreign conglomerates are making record profits, literally extracting the wealth from Nevada to deposit said wealth overseas.
4. These foreign conglomerates do not care for our land, or our retired miners.
5. 55% of tax monies in Nevada go to k-12 teachers.
6. You can't move mining jobs out of state.

It's a slam-dunk to me. Sign me up.

jlb101, I think that's more comment on your knowledge and intelligence than it is a comment on Ms. McClure's prominence.

Yes, I guessed that of those who are hospitalized, 26% are between the ages of 5 and 18. I was simply trying to point out the ambiguity in the grammar. The last article Ms. Manning wrote about the availability of the vaccine had the same kind of grammatical ambiguity. The last article was much more difficult to decipher.

Ms. Manning needs a better editor. This is the second report on H1N1 that is difficult to read and is open to interpretation. For example:

"For people 5 to 18, 26 percent of them reported for hospitalizations are from H1N1 flu and another 24 percent have been 25 to 49, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said."

26% of children 5 to 18 have gone to the hospital because of H1N1? Probably not.

PPfffhhhahahahahaha dave202. Who are you kidding? Small businesses have been urging exactly this kind of legislation for decades. I'm donating to Titus today! Thank you Congresswoman Titus! Thank you!

JayeTT: I know that children between the ages of 6 months and two years, and children and adults between the ages of 2 and 24 with underlying health conditions are in the priority group for the injectable vaccine. I don't know about adults and seniors with underlying conditions.

Here are some interesting stats:
http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/qa.htm

The majority of deaths are people under 65, which is odd because normally people 65 and over make up the majority of the 36,000 deaths/year from flu.

It's interesting that the above commenters assume these women are on welfare. I doubt they are.

It's about frikin' time!

I called this afternoon, and while they were very helpful, no one could say if they would have the single dose vials for this weekend's clinic. They said it is possible that they may have them in stock, but the single dose vials may be inaccessible during the clinic (the sdv's may be in the "back" refrigerator). I'm hoping they call me back with more information.

Do we know yet if the vaccine is the multi-dose variety with thimerosal, or the single dose variety without thimerosal?
