There is Internet chatter about ALL Americans being &#8220;forced&#8221; to receive a vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>No thanks.  I have never had a flu shot, nor has any member of my family, and I&#8217;m not going to start now.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has a mental line in the sand that they will not allow anyone to cross, and that is just ONE of mine.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who were not around in 1976 or fail to remember history, here is a little d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu regarding the swine flu pandemic and the government&#8217;s propaganda campaign that lead to the vaccination of over 40 million people with damaging and deadly results for thousands who bought into the idea that the government knew what was best for us.<\/p>\n<p>This is a 10 minute segment from a 60 Minutes episode that aired in 1979, just three years after the government vaccinated MILLIONS of Americans, and since was suppressed from further view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swine Flu D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"container02\" style=\"padding-left: 20px;\">Please make sure Javascript is enabled and you have the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\">latest version of the Flash Player<\/a> to see this video.<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"\/swfobject.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script> <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ < ![CDATA[\n  var s2 = new SWFObject(\"\/player.swf\",\"ply\",\"480\",\"380\",\"9\",\"#FFFFFF\"); s2.addParam(\"allowfullscreen\",\"true\"); s2.addParam(\"allowscriptaccess\",\"always\"); s2.addParam(\"flashvars\",\"file=http:\/\/fsblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/swine-flu.flv&amp;title=&amp;image=\/images\/vid\/swine-flue.jpg\"); s2.write(\"container02\");\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p>See the similarities between 1976 and today?<\/p>\n<p>The media and government stoking the flames of fear with the approaching Swine Flu Pandemic while they race to create and produce massive amounts of vaccine, which they will not have the time to test in long term clinical trials for effectiveness or damaging side effects.<\/p>\n<p>I do not know about you, but I&#8217;m going to stick with what I know and tell the government to keep their  vaccine. And if they think they are going to FORCE Americans to be vaccinated, I believe all those people who &#8220;Cling to Their Bibles and Guns&#8221; will have something strong to say about it.
