Fear

An 'up shot' of one of our Sunflowers.
Fear and paranoia have become a standard tactic for various entities to achieve their goals. Muslim terrorists destroyed the peace and tranquility of American life when they took out the Trade Towers. Today, security everywhere has been ramped up and we treat it as a necessary inconvenience.
The global warming industry uses fear very nicely by telling us that climate change is all our fault and for a fairly hefty price, we can control the climate so we don't all die.
Worksafe BC and the insurance companies have struck fear into hearts that we will die if we do not have strict rules and regulations in place for our own good.
And now the pharmaceutical companies will make billions because they have been instrumental in scaring the world into believing that if they do not get the swine flu vaccine shot, they will die, and yes, we will all die.
We, like sheep, follow along because everybody else is doing it.
Flu shots do not have a good track record. They are rarely current and in many cases make the recipient sick, and in some cases will kill. In 1979 there was a small outbreak of swine flu and the US government instituted a hasty flu shot program. Here is what happened. More people died from the vaccination than from the flu, and there were 500 cases of GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a neurological brain disorder) directly attributed to the flu shot.
Another great concern is the little ingredient in the flu vaccine called squalene. It is a naturally occurring enzyme which hyper stimulates the immune system. We have this enzyme in the mucous membranes of our body, the first defense we have against intruding germs and viruses. The problem is, this enzyme is not found in the blood stream and the flu shot would put it there. The results in some lab animals is the immune system starts to attack the body and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, ms and Lou Gehrig's begin to appear. This is a dirty little secret that is not generally publicized. There was a secret letter sent to 600 British neurologists a few weeks ago outlining some of the dangers and a particular alert to watch for increased cases of GBS.
This risk is weighed against feeling feverish and fluish for a day or two and then getting on with your life.

I will not be getting this flu shot when it is offered to me.

Me neither! Too many shots these days.
I'm about to take Liam for his 1 yr immunizations and know I'll have a fight on my hands when I refuse the flu,chicken pox and MMR!

Good points brought out in your post. Thanks for sharing this information. Most of the general population are underinformed when it comes to medical issues.

Ah, but did you read the recent news that Canada has just approved the use of a new vaccine targeted at above 60 year olds for shingles....50% reduction over time...now some of us could do without that pain!!

I did not read that, but it is good for the majority of people who do not know how to get rid of shingles quickly on their own. Of course, providing there are no side effects. But when you are sixty, who cares about long term side effects. :)
