Dear Reader,

My friend, Claudia, sounded frantic.

She called to tell me she'd just heard about the FDA approval of the H1N1 vaccine. The approval had her worried that the virus was worse than she thought. She was mostly concerned about her young son. Should she get him vaccinated, as recommended by the CDC?

Of course, she'll have to make that decision on her own. But the FDA approval? Absolutely no shock there. If the agency hadn't approved the vaccine, THAT would have been truly shocking.

So...if the FDA says the vaccine is okay, and the CDC recommends it, why are so many health care workers planning to just say no?

Smarter than vaccines

"Just don't try giving me the swine flu vaccine."

That quote is from Dr. John Crippen, a general practitioner who writes about health issues for the UK newspaper The Guardian.

In a recent column, he added: "On the facts available to date, I will not be having it. Nor will my family. I will not be the only doctor taking this view."

He's got that right. The British Medical Journal reports that in a recent survey of Hong Kong health care workers, about half said they would refuse the H1N1 vaccine. They offered two reasons: 1) doubts about efficacy, and 2) concern about side effects.

A UK poll produced similar results and we've heard the same report about U.S. health care workers. But it's not surprising at all. Every year, a large percentage of these workers turn down the seasonal flu shot, even when it's free and available with the greatest of ease in their workplace.

But why would they pass up a chance to avoid the big bad swine flu? After all, these professionals are not mainstream medical skeptics – they ARE the medical mainstream.

Dr. Crippen: "I did trust the government when it introduced an emergency vaccination programme for smallpox. But smallpox was a deadly disease and the vaccination was tried, tested and proven. The swine flu immunisation is being rushed out. It is of uncertain efficacy. It is to be given to prevent a disease which, as yet, is mild...if the virus mutates to a more virulent form, the immunisation may in any case not work."

A similar comment appeared in an MSNBC report – this from an anonymous nurse, posted on nurse.com: "I'm not rolling up my sleeve for anyone. It's my opinion that flu vaccines are hit and miss at best, and by the time the virus mutates its way into the population, the original vaccine is kaput. Viruses are smarter than vaccines."

All health care institutions are demanding their staff be vaccinated, or they will be FIRED.  What happens when all of the major corporations are ordered to do the same thing, or lose their credit???  It is coming to the place where it just may be that if anyone wants to work, they will have to be vaccinated.  Whatever the intents of our President may be on this issue, he is dead serious about it.  Since the Swine Flu is not any more of a threat than any other flu that goes around, the question then arises, WHY!!!

Is this a precursor to the "Mark of the Beast" implant???  And is therefore a testing ground for when that will be required?
