August 9, 2009 – Every year you see them, the signs and advertisements for free flu vaccinations. Even the place I work has the health department come in and give free flu shots to those who want them. I never take it, and I never get the flu.

I’m curious. Has anyone really given any serious thought to these vaccinations they offer us? I mean, do any of you who take them know what’s in them? I could fill syringes with methamphetamines and offer free shots, saying they are good for you. Or worse, fill them with Liquid Plumber and offer them for free. I wonder how many people would line up to take them, just because they are free? Yet every year they offer us these vaccines without us knowing what is in them. Every year I see people lining up to take a shot, not knowing whether there are possible side effects.

If you have watched any amount of television I’m sure you have seen the ads for drugs that claim to help sufferers of a long list of ailments. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, restless leg syndrome, insomnia, and, of course, erectile dysfunction, there is a drug out there aimed specifically at you.

If you have seen these ads you may have noticed the disclaimer at the end of each of these commercials. These disclaimers list a plethora of possible side effects, some of them dangerous and life threatening.

For example, the drug Zoloft which is used to treat depression, fibromyalgia, and even migraines, has a long list of possible side effects, to include; nausea, insomnia, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, drowsiness, indigestion, loss of appetite, and decreased sex drive. These are the common ones that they seem to find acceptable.

Then there are the more serious ones that they recommend you seek immediate medical attention if you experience. These include; suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, anxiety, hallucinations, and chest palpitations.

Every drug you see advertised on television has their own unique list of side effects that you are warned about. Yet have you ever seen a similar list posted anywhere in the vicinity of where they are offering you free flu shots? I didn’t think so. Have you ever wondered why?

Does anyone remember the feared outbreak of Swine Flu in 1976? Time Magazine ran an article back in May which told what happened. From that article I quote, “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.”

Although the government claims to have learned from their mistakes, there is one telling statement from the Time article, “Howard Markel, director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan and a historical consultant to the CDC on flu pandemics, says the most vexing decision facing health officials is when to institute mass vaccination programs. Vaccines carry risks of complications, leading to agonizing ethical dilemmas.”

So, although the government may have learned from their mistake of 1976, there still remains the problem of side effects from these vaccines. Yet still we do not see any clearly posted disclaimers when they offer us our free flu shots.

I wonder, what has our government learned? The last time they ordered up mass vaccinations there were millions of dollars in claims filed by people who suffered side effects from those vaccinations.

This time around that won’t be happening. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius has signed a document which grants immunity to the manufacturers of the Swine Flu vaccine. It does allow for a compensation fund to be established, but you all know where that money is coming from don’t you? Why your tax dollars. So, if you take the shot and suffer from a side effect, your tax dollars, and mine will be used to pay you off. Nifty how that works, isn’t it?

This isn’t the first time this has happened either. In 1986 the drug Trivirix, a Mumps, Measles, Rubella vaccine, with the Mumps Urabe strain AM-9 was introduced to replace the previous version.

There were concerns over the introduction of this new MMR drug in the UK and they are recorded in the minutes of both the Joint Working Party of the British Paediatric Association and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI) Liaison Group on June 26th of that year.

These concerns soon proved to be well founded. Soon reports of aseptic meningitis began to emerge from people who had received the vaccine.

Smith-Kline¾ French, the company who were involved in the manufacture of the vaccine for use in the UK at that time, were concerned about these safety issues. They were reluctant to obtain a license for their drug in England because of their concern “that children might be seriously damaged by one of their products” they requested indemnity from the British Government from any legal actions taken as a result of side effects due to their vaccine. The British Government, based upon advice by a Professor Salisbury, and their own Department of Health, granted the immunity so as to get the cheap new vaccine onto the market.

You see, our government may be fully aware of any and all side effects you might get from these vaccinations, but they aren’t going to tell you about them. The Department of Health and Human Services is going to keep their mouths shut. The Food and Drug Administration is going to remain silent. We all remember how they allowed the use of Vioxx, and then later had to recall it, leading Merck to pay out nearly $80 million in settlements.

There is a reason why they don’t post any disclaimers, or any list of ingredients when they offer you these vaccines. They know if they did that you would most likely not take them.

Vaccines are either made with viruses or with bacteria. Vaccines either contain live or dead material. Those with live material are weakened by what is known as serial passage. What happens is that the virus is passed through viable tissue several times to reduce it’s potency.

This viable tissue may be monkey, chickens, or even aborted fetuses. Once it has been weakened enough, it is strengthened with disinfectants and stabilizers. These may include streptomycin, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, aluminum, sorbital, hydrolyzed gelatin, formaldehyde, and the mercury derivative thimerosal.

Aluminum and mercury are poisons for the body, and formaldehyde is used to embalm you. The medical establishment has not determined any safe level of formaldehyde for a live human body. And they are putting this stuff into vaccines which are supposed to prevent us from getting ill?

These are just a few examples that ought to give you pause before you roll up your shirt sleeve for any ‘free vaccine.’

You know, I was in the Air Force for 13 years, and it was mandatory that we all take an annual flu shot. Every time I got that shot, I got sick as a dog. Every year I was fortunate enough to be gone when they were given, I was flu free.

I know that there are those who will, regardless of these concerns, go out and get their free vaccine when it is issued. They have been conditioned by the media over the seriousness of this strain of flu, that they will do anything to keep from getting it.

I can only hope that I have provided you with enough motivation to go out and check out these things before you offer yourself up as a guinea pig for an untested and, possibly, unsafe vaccine.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says “OH SHIT!!…. HE’S AWAKE!!”

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?“
