perhaps you could wait for a more reliable source than a post on a conspiracy theorist message board, citing some unnamed talk radio show as a source?

I just heard on NPR that the vaccine will be released a week from Monday, in other words Oct. 5. It is remotely possible that the military has already received it, but the story sounds extremely implausible.

I dunno..lookee what I found (dated July..don't panic):

Navy Ships Under Swine Flu Quarantine - CBS News

And the Czech Republic decided not to buy vaccines from Baxter Int'l when Baxter refused to guarantee their safety.

Czech's reject Baxter flu vaccine - Pharmaceutical Technology

Haven't seen any reports of these deaths on any credible sites though..

that cbs news story says there was an outbreak of swine flu on a navy vessel, but it doesn't say that it was due to the vaccine.

lol ergo..there's more truth in that statement than you know.

I did buy some Baxter (BAX) at $46 when the CDC announced they wanted vaccines and got out when it hit $57.
Enjoyed the ride all the way to the bank !

and i don't know a ton about the h1n1 vaccine, but if it's a live virus vaccine there's no way the manufacturer can absolutely guarantee its safety, because there will always be a risk of getting the flu from it, however small. even regular flu vaccine (with a killed virus) could give you an anaphylactic reaction and kill you. any medication could. i don't think any pharmaceutical manufacturer would be dumb enough to give someone a guarantee that a medication or vaccine is absolutely safe. that doesn't mean that there's any kind of reasonable risk associated with it.
