    Poland's ombudsman has asked prosecutors to investigate the government for refusing to import swine flu vaccines, calling it an "unacceptable" failure that endangers public health.

    Janusz Kochanowski, the country's top official for defending civil rights, said he requested the investigation today.

    Prosecutors must now carry out preliminary fact-finding.

    They will decide later whether to open a full investigation.

    The government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk has refused to import swine flu vaccines because of what it says is the refusal of producers to take responsibility for possible side effects.

    So far, there have been 1,158 confirmed cases of swine flu in Poland and 24 deaths.

    Most of those who died had other underlying health conditions.
    Thought you lot would love this little bit of news. But the question is: is it a conspiracy that the Polish government is trying to kill off it's own people, or that the "refusal of producers to take responsibility for possible side effects" is actually the cause?

    Or is it that the goverment doesn't have the funds, and are going to let the public die?

    It's the refusal of producers to take responsibility. Several vids up on youtube about the same thing. Nothing surprising about this.

    Has any producer ever taken responsibility for any "jab" in the past?

    That's an excellent question. There's an interview over here with the Polish health minister, you can read for yourself. I guess he doesn't agree with these huge companies avoiding risk and placing so much stress on Goverment funds if stuff goes wrong.

    .....there are one billion people who catch seasonal flu worldwide every year, and one million die of seasonal flu worldwide every year.In 2003 1,200,000 Poles caught seasonal flu. Has anybody shouted, here in this room, “Let’s buy vaccines for everybody!”? I can’t recall such a thing.
