Time-In February 1976, an outbreak of swine flu struck Fort Dix Army base in New Jersey, killing a 19-year-old private and infecting hundreds of soldiers. Concerned that the U.S. was on the verge of a devastating epidemic, President Gerald Ford ordered a nationwide vaccination program at a cost of $135 million (some $500 million in today’s money). Within weeks, reports surfaced of people developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing nerve disease that can be caused by the vaccine. By April, more than 30 people had died of the condition. Facing protests, federal officials abruptly canceled the program on Dec. 16. The epidemic failed to materialize.
Let me see. Baxter can send out 72 kilograms of vaccine with live bird flu in it that could have potentially started a pandemic and all they say is oops. Then the news media barely reports it. Then if I get sick or die from a shot my family or I have no legal recourse against Big Pharma. No, I will not get a flu shot even if it is “mandatory” and I will try to persuade those I love not to get it either. Whoever tries to force me to get a shot will end up the ones being shot. Freedom is not free and I am tired of being treated like I am a slave to the whims of an unconstitutional government. If others want to stay blissfully ignorant to hard facts and do as Big Brother dictates or spins then that is up to them. Also, the Amish do not get flu shots or vaccinations and they have the lowest rate of Autism in their populace. Go figure.
#39 You know that the flu shot does nothing against the swine flu, don’t you?
Never again for me ! Several years back my now former employer mandated flu shots for all hourly employees. Within a day I had the full blown illness and missed a few days of work. The management promptly wrote me up for bad attendance , which later cost me a raise at review time. Despite what my doctor had said the management refused to believe the shot caused the illness. They concluded I was just faking my illness to get out of work. Their logic behind this was that I just had a free Flu shot , hence I should not be able to get the Flu. Since then I have met several people who also claim a Flu shot caused them to become very ill afterward. I’ll skip that yearly vaccine from now on Thank You. I’ll take my chances by trusting my immune system to do its job. Which btw in doing so I have gone an occasional year or two without ever getting sick beyond a mild seasonal cold.

Here is another Tinfoil-Hat Person, perhaps you have heard of him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy,_Jr
Deadly Immunity by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
When a study revealed that mercury in childhood vaccines may have caused autism in thousands of kids, the government rushed to conceal the data — and to prevent parents from suing drug companies for their role in the epidemic.

Excerpt: “Even for scientists and doctors accustomed to confronting issues of life and death, the findings were frightening. ‘You can play with this all you want,’ Dr. Bill Weil, a consultant for the American Academy of Pediatrics, told the group. The results ‘are statistically significant.’ Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician from the University of Colorado whose grandson had been born early on the morning of the meeting’s first day, was even more alarmed. “My gut feeling?” he said. ‘Forgive this personal comment — I do not want my grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on.’
But instead of taking immediate steps to alert the public and rid the vaccine supply of thimerosal, the officials and executives at Simpsonwood spent most of the next two days discussing how to cover up the damaging data. According to transcripts obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, many at the meeting were concerned about how the damaging revelations about thimerosal would affect the vaccine industry’s bottom line.”

That’s right, do exactly what the GOVERNMENT trained you to do. Make a smart-ass comment and by all means, do not look at the evidence…it ain’t cool. That is “Thomas’ Law”.

Yep. Tin Foil Hat. The evidence is that there is no evidence that vaccines cause autism. I’m waiting to hear how the Illuminati have anything to do with this.
this is one direct order that im going to refuse. i was forced to get the flu shot when i was in basic training and i had an adverse reaction. i was bed ridden for 2 weeks and sick for another month after that with strep throat and the flu. i almost got a medical discharge because the reaction was so bad but i fought it and was able to continue to serve.
