If the flu vaccine is given to 50,000 people a day, one of them at least will have a heart attack, get the flu, get Guillian Barre, drive their car into a wall, suffer from potato famine,etc. All of it will be blamed on the vaccine.

OH MY GAWD....go to the above link by Guxxclimber...

it basically rehashes concerns piled atop fears, sitting on top of paranoia....then there is this which closes the deal..

"The nasal spray is being rolled out on a mass scale before the widespread introduction of the injectable vaccine. Some fear that the nasal spray will contribute to a wider pandemic, which will then provide governments with the crisis they need to make the injectable vaccine mandatory.

“This would accelerate the move to a state of emergency, cripple the US health care system, and would result in the “need” to have military, eventually UN troops, take control,” notes TheFluCase.com.

“Also, all public assemblies, including courts, would be prohibited, thereby satisfying a condition for the imposition of martial law, mass quarantines, and forced vaccinations for the rest of us.”

And Commander in Chief Obama will then enter all your living rooms backed up by legions of Kmer Rouge troops and steal all the large screen plasma sets.

I can't believe how the opposition to Obama is now being channeled into "the Feds" paranoia about everything. Why don't we just advocate erecting a big statue of Timothy McVeigh in place of the Statue of Liberty?

I just logged on to this news story thinking to see some relevant and perhaps rationale discussion. But this whipped up paranoia is spreading to every facet of our social lives now. It's like Astroturf Pod People have sprouted among us.

A Noun, funny posts. True, people are paranoid. A physician neighbor of mine said that she tells patients they can walk down the hall for the influenza shot for free and not even wait in line and many patients still refuse.

We vaccinate every year. Becoming ill is such a huge waste of time.

Gunxclimber, the article you linked cited a MayoClinic page which actually states that "only 10 out of every one million people who received the vaccine actually developed GBS" AND "It is assumed that the “swine flu” virus included in the 1976 vaccine caused the problem, but this has not been proven." It hasn't been proven. And the panic then started after 3 elderly people got the vaccination - no one over 50 is approved to receive the vaccination this year. Do your research before you start fear mongering please.
