Flu shots and tinfoil hats.

Flu Kitteh not wantz UR girmz
As those of you who read me regularly know, conspiracy theories without actual concrete unusual indicators make me itch and scratch.
The Obama administration is talking about a second flu vaccine this year (a series of two shots) in addition to the normal flu season vaccine. The second set of shots would addressing Swine Flu or H…….H……..whatever the H they are calling it now that they changed the name.
A rose by any other name is still the Swine Flu.
The Obama administration is considering an unprecedented fall vaccination campaign that could entail giving Americans three flu shots — one to combat annual seasonal influenza and two targeted at the new swine flu virus spreading across the globe.
I really see nothing different about their plans other than they are going to try to kill you add two more shots (if necessary) to the recommended flu season shot regimen. That is, I see no indication that they are going to forcibly line us up over at a FEMA camp and shoot us up simutaneously with a flu shot, a GPS tracking device and a microchip. What I do see is the same program that has always been in existence. They recommend who should get the shots and make the vaccine available.
“We are moving forward with making a vaccine,” said Robin Robinson, a director with the Department of Health and Human Services who oversees pandemic response programs. Robinson said that although a formal decision about the swine flu vaccine has not been made, if the government goes ahead, it would probably produce two doses for all Americans. If the threat diminishes, he said, health officials could decide to produce doses for only a portion of the population.
In other words, they are going to make the Swine Flu vaccine up ahead, for use in the event that people start dropping like flies. Since it takes five months to develop a vaccine, this is called “planning ahead”. They will then be able to decide whether they need to produce enough doses for recommended target groups or whether they need to produce enough for all of the USA.
What I also see planned is, as when our government panicked in 1976, they will be tracking to see how many people die from the shot who probably would have lived if they didn’t get the shot.
Memories of the nation’s earlier experience with a swine flu vaccine present another challenge. In 1976, hundreds of Americans developed neurological disorders after they were vaccinated for a swine flu strain. The public was asked to receive one of two vaccines developed to combat the strain.
Let’s face it gang. The only thing our government learns from history is how to repeat it exactly. Otherwise, there doesn’t seem to be anything new here, other than concerns on how to help the dumbed-down American public be able to track which flu shot they had already and which they didn’t have if another set of shots is added to the regimen. So much to think about! Funny now, if that check from the government doesn’t arrive on time, people have no problem remembering it’s due, but hey, what can I tell you.
A record-keeping system would also need to be devised to track which doses patients have received, health experts said.
Without such a system, patients could lose track of which of the three shots they have received or could fail to get the second swine flu inoculation at the proper time.
“We will have to keep them straight and separate,” Vanderbilt’s Schaffner said. “This will be an enormous challenge, and we haven’t figured out how to do it yet. That’s one of the things we are trying to sort out.”
They could probably solve that education problem by placing their public service announcements in the middle of American Idol, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire– or other dumbed- down programs which keep the masses occupied while our politicians and their friends rob us blind of our freedom, money and future.
So as far as I can see, nothing that is planned is far from the planning path of the past. It’s just more publicized, because, let’s face it, the Obama administration enjoys providing us with a crisis a week. That way, we won’t notice what else is going on, and that’s no conspiracy theory either. It’s just typical DC politics.
So, as of this moment, I see the same flu season plans as the past. If you want to take the chance on the shots, Hakuna Metata. Otherwise you take the chance on catching the flu. It’s your choice. I myself have never had a flu shot in my life and I’m not about to start now. But I see no indicator here that the Obama administration is going to round me up as part of the “resistance” and force that shot upon me. If I see anything that changes my mind, I’ll let you know.
Thought you might want to see the outfit I wore to the supermarket yesterday. It was a little rough driving in it, and bathroom runs were hell, but otherwise, people hardly even noticed.

Tres chic, Uppity. If they could market that number in a more subdued color, say black, it could be a big hit in the boutiques in Afghanistan . . .
I was thinking more of a teal with purple boots, Fashionista that I am!
I lived through the 1970’s once, and once was enough.
yeah..lets don’t go there again..
oh.UPP.love the outfit..
What??? After Baxter from Illinoix (where the majority of the US cases of bird-swine-human H1N1 are to be found) “accidentally” put bird flu in batches of vaccine sent world wide?
Naw, I think I’ll just pack up and move first. Sounds like Baxter mucked up their test run on how to infect Americans most expeditiously. Fall sounds like the real McCoy. We’ll have to see who earns the highest ranks of cult status by who willingly lines up to be injected with anything that Ofraud is behind!!
Uppity Woman,
Absolutely agree, particularly with what you say about the public attention deficit and how politicians encourage this to facilitate their own deceits.
For any fans of conspiracy theories, look no further:

There are some great ones there.
Conspiracy theories — your #1 on the list of the great conspiracy theories reminds me of what the French Oscar-winning actress, played Edith Piaf in the 2007 movie, “Vie En Rose”, Marion Cotillard said about 9/11: the towers were blown up by its owners because it would have been too expensive to re-wire the building for technology.
Marion, who tends to form her own opinions, also contests whether the Americans landed on the moon in 1969.
She received enormous flak from Americans and had to hire an attorney. She also said she played for a wider audience than Americans.
ah — the French….
arran,
Thank you for reminding me of the sheer stupidity of some people. Love the understatement of your “tends to form her own opinions” comment – going to totally steal that for my blog sooner or later.
Has that actress received much work in Hollywood since then? Was that too outrageous for them, even?
The French, as we all know, are wonderful and have a slice of Heaven on Earth. But they’re also psychotically pis*ed at needing you guys to save their bacon twice in the last century.
Still.
Oh, Uppity, your grocery-shopping outfit is DIVINE!!!!
Another dumba** waste of time, money and brain power by bho the fruad, his thugs, his toadies, and any American who falls for this nonsense.
Thanks, Uppity Woman. Maybe a Smarten Up campaign oughta sweep across this largely complacent, gullible, shallow nation. Another 18 million of us recognizing Hillary knows what the hell she’s doing while the scumbags in D.C. certainly do rob us of freedom, money and sane thought would be great.
Yeah, Hillary’s 18 million and 18 million more. I’d be happy to be on the common sense express after you braver souls who join the kool aid detox team begin the national gray matter cleanup.
OT, $323,000 to scare the NY folks with that damn fool big plane flyover–does anybody running around OUR WH have ANY sense? Obviously no cents/dollars–which We the People are noticing more and more and will grow more guts to prevent. An anti-stupidity vaccine–let’s develop that. Oh, we already have it–it’s called reading, writing and thinking. Must be locked up in a closet somewhere with useless vaccines.
My plan to avoid the flu is the same as it is every flu season. Stay out of crowds(every time I go through an airport, I get sick, seriously), wear latex gloves to the store when I go, do not touch my face until I take them off, and get plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Since I live in a rural area of Florida, the last part is easy. I also do not let people who are sick into my house, lest they leave germs for me to catch. I know, that sounds mean, but it works. The thing that annoys me the most about flu season is the millions of people who take meds to counteract the symptoms and then, feeling better, go out and spread the flu far and wide while they do stuff they don’t really need to do. If they work in a service job, they need to stay home on sick leave if they have the flu. Otherwise, the “service” they will be doing is infecting everyone they meet with the flu. People who work in offices should do the same, for the same reason. I had a friend who insisted that it was fine for him to go to work because he had his own office, and could do dictation over the office phone. I pointed out that he went to work on the Metro and would give the flu to anyone who touched anything he did in the Metro car and station. He decided to start staying home when sick. I like to think I helped prevent a few cases by pointing that out to him.
the most flu i ever got was the bank teller or grocery clerk hacking in my face and swetting on me with there high fevers.hard to stay away from people people in elevators.
we use to have a winter celibration called first night….and every january 1…i would get the flu for 6 yrears because the venues were in lobies of buildings.every 20 minutes 30 more people would come in and 10 new sick people,per hour so those lobies were germ play grounds.
i dont think the flu is any worse in the winter or summer accept that in the winter people are jamed in to small spaces because its cold out side.
never got sick [out side in fresh air].
I don’t know if I’ll go for a swine flu vaccination, but I’ve had a long history of catching respiratory system viruses, and since I started getting an annual flu shot five years ago, I haven’t gotten sick once. They work for me.
I think I’d have to see evidence that this swine flu was really spreading in a pandemic before I offer my arm for multiple shots.
In the 50s I caught the “Hong Kong” flu and thought I might die and at the time wished I could (die). I have been getting flu shots every year for the past eleven years now at the VA outpatient clinic. I have had the flu three or four times even after taking the shots in those eleven years, but nothing severe. However, I think I might draw the line when it comes to taking a swine flu shot as long as Obama and his mob are in charge of national affairs.
Like you, Uppity, I have never had a flu shot. The 70’s fiasco [more people dying from the shot and/or suffering paralysis] had me swear off “flu panic” intervention forever. In fact, my in-laws [who were horrified that I was so stubborn in refusing the shots] did take the mid-70’s round and ended up sick as dogs. They’ve taken annual shots for the last few years and fared much better–the flu passed, they didn’t get it and had no adverse effects.
I’ve had the flu, at least three times. Once as a child and twice as an adult. It’s miserable. You feel lousy. But unless you have a compromised health situation it is not a death sentence.
I guess you could make the argument that my stubborness and skepticism will get me in the end. But I’m not partial to the government insisting that a vaccine is something “everyone” should agree to. I’ve been blessed with good health, a hardy constitution and familial longevity. I’ll put my money on that, thank you very much.
Those flu shots have mercury and other scary stuff in them. They can cause Alzheimers. I wouldn’t get one unless I were really old.
Well I am really old and I have never had a flu shot, nor will I be getting one for this flu. I have never had the flu either. I don’t trust the people in leadership positions in this administration to believe they would be doing anything to help.
I get a flu shot every year and have not only not had the flu, but never get colds or any other respiratory ailments.
I remember the Asian flu–the first one. I was in fifth grade. We had to get shots for it and they hurt like everything.
It’s weird how hispanics seem to have a worse reaction to this flu. I still think the answer to these flus is for people not to keep animals in degraded, unsanitary conditions on mass market farms and don’t live with your animals.
Just wanted to tell you I’ve been to your site and I love all your “kittehs”, especially that geeky Kitteh Bill kitteh. Now my Kitteh Roger has caught a cold, and I hope Kitteh Boo Boo doesn’t get it. But we don’t plan to get flu shots in this house ’cause my neighbor is a nurse practitioner, and she is our guru kitteh on such matters. She says it’s a weak virus and the whole thing is media hype. Plus, my uncle has gotten several flu shots and each time he has gotten really sick right afterwards.
had the shot 2 times and got sick on the shot 2 times.out of the 50 people in my building at least 10 get sick on the shot,so im going to wait and see befor i ever get the pig shot.1970 hong kong and the 2003 were the worst but i wasnt doing garlic every day.garlic is the best natural tami flu ever.

After the series of Swine Flu shots are through; the WHO will declare in 2010 the Avian Bird Flu is out of control and Codex Alimentarius will order forced vaccinations!
If you thind this is a joke you need to do your homework quickly!
The US Government will comply with UN Law and the US Government will use the following to enforce UN Law!
All Local, County, State and Federal authorities along with the power of the US military!
Do a google, yahoo or AOL check on their search engines and you will learn a lot!
