Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Three quarters of all Americans have historically just said NO THANKS to getting a flu shot every year. But forced flu vaccination of all Americans is just around the corner because vaccine manufacturers don't want to lose any money on a product few people buy and use. If the pharmaceutical industry gets what it wants from Congress, watch for future flu vaccine mandates and societal sanctions for children and adults who do not comply. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml? type=healthNews & storyID=4349534 And here you have the beginning... http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2004/03/11/eline/links/20040311e lin005.html New U.S. guidelines stress flu shots for babies.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for sharing. I couldn't get the first URL to work. Mandatory vaccines were tried in Japan once, and the incidence of flu increased 12-fold!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Here is a link that discusses the recommendation of mandatory flu shots and the problems with that recommendation. This is an absurd idea and will only increase disease. The article predicts that it wouldn't go into effect until around 2006. http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0311/p12s02-usgn.html RawSeattle , " Ron Koenig " <ron.koenig@v...> wrote: > Thanks for sharing.
