Open question to everyone, here. I don’t think this virus will end up being particularly deadly. I would be surprised if it ended up exceeding a 5% mortality rate in the U.S. However, as the parent of a newborn I am not inviting ANY illness into my household, and that’s the only reason for my concern. If I get this bug, I’m pretty confident that I have the accumulated resistance to fight it without dying, but I can’t say the same for my son.

That said, the media and the WHO seem to be creating a frenzy so that people will think this is a deadly threat. This can’t be blamed solely on the media because world health organizations and central governments are adding to the hysteria and raising threat levels.

So I’ve been trying to figure out what the goal is, because there is always an agenda. And this morning I began to hear murmurs of a mass vaccine similar to the one that was instituted by President Ford in response to the ’76 outbreak. You may recall that particular “vaccine” ended up killing several hundred people, while the actual swine flu virus only killed one serviceman at Fort Dix.

BigPharma is now lining up to quickly throw together a vaccine, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Feds begin to push people to take it.

Here’s the question: given everything that’s going on around us, the clear pattern of incompetence and neglect occurring at all levels of business and government now, and given that it hasn’t escaped the attention of world governments that this planet is carrying about 2 billion more people than it can reasonably sustain, would YOU take a vaccine that was distributed to combat this virus? Or would you instead rely on good, old-fashioned protocols like hand washing, homeopathic remedies (colloidal silver, vitamin D, etc) and use common sense in limiting your exposure to public venues? Just curious where you all see this going.
