H1N1

Swine flu, H1N1 season is about to start, according to the CDC and WHO. Well, about to start as in they guess it will be starting based on seasonal flu. The internet is full of horror stories, conspiracies, facts and fiction concerning this next round of the flu. There are rumors of forced vaccinations, martial law, the military joining in, etc etc. New information comes out daily.

Personally, no I will not get it, even if it is "required". The only time I have been vaccinated against even the normal flu, was over 10 years ago, and it made me sick as a dog. But the H1N1 is a different beast. It appears to be genetically created, combining avian flu, swine flu and human flu together. While there is no proof, hard proof, there is reason to believe so based on the variations contained there in.

Here is some of the latest news from the vaccinations and other internet rumors.

The vaccination is deadly. Well, there is proof starting to appear from this, and not just from internet conspiracty forums. The vaccination comes from a diseased monkey and apparently has several nasty side affects. One of the side affects is Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) which causes paralysis, lack of breathing, and death.

Forced Vaccinations. This is already occuring in some parts of the world, even in the USA.
  1. Greece has mandatory vaccinations.
  2. England is planning on it.
  3. New York City is requiring it of health care professionals(this in my area as well, my mother was informed of this)
None of the links I am providing are from conspiracy sites, most are from mainstream media, which I try to find at all times.

Martial law: As of now, aside from refusing to repeal the Bush Administration freedoms and laws concerning this, there is only speculation concerning martial law. A CNN article concerning military being used is started this, and the forced vaccination speculation in the US.

So, from a non conspiracy point of view, there is things happening here in even the US that will give pause to all but the most hardened skeptic. Just remember, keep your hands washed, eat healthy, and if you are sick, with a fever, the flu, or anything, stay home away from other people, we dont want your germs.
