Oh, say it ain't so, but it's a definitely possibility. Many of us have been opining on these possibilities and others for some time now, and have been labeled as "nut burgers" and "conspiracy theorists" ... but it's time to pay attention people.
We're told that Tamiflu and Relenza are effective drugs to combat flu symptoms, but instead of making additional doses of these very effective drugs, time and money are being spent to come up with a vaccine that may or may not be effective in treating Swine Flu (officially labeld "H1N1", so as not to marginalize the porcine population). Why not go with what works? Remember back in 1976, when more people died from problems with the vaccine than died from the actual virus?
Well, it doesn't stop there? It's not just about making vaccine available and "urging" to population to get vaccinated. It goes far further and poses a far greater threat to our civil liberties.
A conference was held this past weekend on the "upcoming swine flu pandemic" ... there's every confidence in the media, the medical establishment and the government that this flu will be almost like the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918, and absolutely no chance (in their collective minds) that it could peter out like the Swine Flu that "spread" in the 1980s.
These same people are the ones that gauge every year which flu strains are "likely" to be the most active in any given flu season, make a piggy-back vaccine to hit the majority of them, and often are dead wrong.
But that's not taken into consideration. Nope, instead, they're going straight for the worst-case scenario, and making plans like no one in my lifetime would ever believe would be made in the U.S. -- heck, in the *world*.

Authorities Prepare To Seize Kids During Swine Flu Pandemic
International swine flu summit
trains responders to enforce quarantines, mass vaccinations, deal with riots
& unrest.
Authorities are preparing to seize children from schools,
set up quarantines and morgues, conduct mass vaccinations, and deal with riots
and unrest, according to an international swine flu summit recently held in
Washington DC which was attended by distinguished scientists, industry leaders
and top health officials from all over the globe.
A conference first discussed by this website three weeks ago has now taken place, with health authorities meeting at the end of last week to finalize response plans to a swine flu pandemic that has been all but guaranteed to occur this coming fall.
According to a PDF information leaflet released before the meeting, attendees were briefed on how to "conduct morgue operations," manage an interruption in food supplies and "manage panic caused by sudden disruption of services & interruptions in essential goods & services".
During a swine flu pandemic, their duties would also include dealing with civil disturbances, controlling and diffusing social unrest and public disorder, carrying out mass vaccination programs and enforcing quarantines, according to the conference documentation.
One of the most shocking modules of the conference deals with "School/University Pandemic Planning" and strongly implies that authorities will usurp parental rights over children in the event of a swine flu pandemic.
"Concurrent Breakout Session #10" outlines plans to "train teachers to screen for symptoms & know what to do when students / teachers fall ill," before then transporting ill students, which presumably means transporting them to quarantine zones with or without the consent of parents. The use of schools as "shelters" or quarantine centers is also mentioned.
As we have documented, authorities have been
training to raid and remove children from schools during times of emergency for
over a decade, mainly under the auspices of preparing for school shootings or
during drug sweeps.
In October 2001, authorities swooped in to kidnap and remove 115 children from Heartland
Christian Academy without a warrant. Children were forcibly loaded onto buses
like criminals as they screamed for help in shocking
scenes featured in Alex Jones' Road To Tyranny documentary.
Earlier this month we reported on how a Maine high school was taken over by the National Guard in a drill focused around riots during a mass vaccination program. In this scenario, the rioters were begging for the vaccine, but obviously the opposite is likely to be the case if a mandatory vaccination program is announced, if there are riots then they will consist of people refusing to take the shot.
A You Tube user posted the following video which covers some
of the issues raised by the swine flu conference.
Proper hygiene will help, people, but it's time to seriously look into gathering an emergency stockpile of food for several weeks, just in case ... whatever else you choose to stockpile ... well, that's your call.
I oppose any mandatory vaccination, but this one is really ridiculous! It was the vaccine that caused a huge outbreak of polio, I can't imagine what will happen when people start receiving this.

Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown. Like all vaccines, the long-term mercury-poisoning and immune-system harms will not even be looked for. Most “trials” will only look for adverse effects for 21 days.

Once again, this administration seems to be wanting to rush things through *way* too fast, without bothering to consider the long term effects of *anything* and definitely without considering the law of unintended consequences.

AND most trials ignore effects that they don't believe were from the vaccine, because they compare them to other vaccines! Also, you can play around with statistics to make the results turn out how you want. You can come up with a rule to drop certain subjects from the final data. There are different statistical tests that will alter the significance of the data as well.
Miz Di, I don't really think that this is the administrations fault. You gotta remember that the administration is advised by doctors and those doctors are seen as the experts. The CDC is all too quick to call something an epidemic and a lot of Americans are scared of contracting this flu than they are scared of the vaccine, if they didn't do anything, people would be outraged. The majority of Americans are still under the impression that vaccines are the be all end all in medical treatments. It usually takes seeing a loved one suffer from a reaction to get some people to start questioning it, I know that I didn't question them until my son had a reaction.
Don't you remember how fast they pushed Gardasil through? Or how it almost became mandatory in Texas? There are still groups trying to make it mandatory, some of them aren't doing it for nefarious reasons, but others are. There are people who are so convinced that this is good for young women, but the number of adverse reactions to it are insane!

I can concede that the entire thing is not the fault of this administration, but this administration is helping feed the panic, which is *never* a good thing. Perhaps we can agree on that. Obama has been out there in the forefront, claiming how he's personally urging speedy vaccines, etc.
I don't think Bush should've gotten involved in this kind of thing for the bird flu, which ended up being a non-starter in the US, and I don't think any president should insert him/herself in anything like this. Much as I don't think Obama should've inserted himself into the whole issue with his friend and the Cambridge Cop. That was a local issue where his presence wasn't necessary and just served to stir up problems and reenter the specter of racism where it didn't exist and wasn't helpful.
The whole idea of making a rushed vaccine mandatory makes me extremely wary and concerned, no matter who tries to push it through, no matter their ideology ... stupid doesn't ascribe to any one political or ideological affiliation.
