U.S. President Barack Obama has declared 2009 H1N1 swine flu a national emergency, the White House said on Saturday.
The declaration will make it easier for U.S. medical facilities to handle a surge in flu patients by allowing the waiver of some requirements of Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health insurance programs as needed, the White House said in a statement.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday that H1N1 swine flu has become widespread in 46 of the 50 U.S. states, a level comparable to the peak of ordinary flu seasons but far earlier and with more waves of infection expected.
Obama signed the statement on Friday night.
The White House statement said the declaration was intended to prepare the country in case of “a rapid increase in illness that may overburden health care resources.” It was similar to disaster declarations issued before hurricanes hit coastal areas.
“It’s important to note that this is a proactive measure — not a response to a new development,” an administration official said.
“H1N1 is moving rapidly, as expected. By the time regions or healthcare systems recognize they are becoming overburdened, they need to implement disaster plans quickly,” he said.
Seasonal flu normally peaks sometime between late November and early March.
Swine flu has hit young adults and children the hardest, while seasonal flu normally is more dangerous for people over age 65.
H1N1 has killed more than 1,000 Americans and put more than 20,000 in the hospital in the United States since it emerged earlier this year, the CDC said. But health officials are quick to note that the actual number of cases cannot be measured.
H1N1 swine flu had been declared a public health emergency earlier in the year.
The new declaration clears the way for waivers of federal requirements that, for example, could prevent hospitals from establishing off-site, alternate care facilities that could help them deal with emergency department demands, the White House said.
The elite believe this planet has too many people.
This H1N1 is an engineered bioweapon. Almost all vaccines are engineered bioweapons. The seasonal and H1N1 vaccines contain Thimersol, mercury and aluminum known neurotoxins that cause Autism. Get ready for a mass killoff, mostly from the vaccinations.
This will help to rally in the National Healthcare plan, which will be a eugenics and population control objective in diguise.
What this act allows is a bypass of FDA approval of new vaccines and drugs. They want to use adjuvanted vaccines. These vaccines are much more profitable for vaccine makers since the antigens are expensive to make, and the adjuvants are cheap toxins in comparison that stimulate the immune system in unpredictable ways.
Four people in Sweden have just died after getting these adjuvanted vaccines.

They drug companies and public health extremists are experimenting on human beings and they know it. There is no need to take these extreme measure for what is still a mild flu.

“â€What they fail to go on to say is: ‘It hasn’t been put into man yet.’ The use of adjuvants is an empirical science, and you can learn only so much from preclinical studies. I’ve grown very skeptical because I’ve been burned so many times. It really comes down to clinical trials. If you want your vaccine to work in a human, you’d better get it into a human, quickly. Otherwise you’re going to spend a lot of time with animal studies and never be able to predict what it will do in people.â€
