I understand stickyfingerz feeling and desire to assert his freedom as an American citizen. As a general rule, I'm not for allowing anybody to force me to put chemicals in my body if I don't believe there is good reason.
I don't know all of the circumstances behind the appearance of this particular flu bug that has newly surfaced and is making the rounds. The biggest problem people face with this is the credibility issue. We feel manipulated by the auto industry, the petroleum industry, the banking industry and now conveniently we have a new flu and several pharmaceutical companies that certainly stand to make large profits from vaccinations and medications used to treat it.
Added to that is the fact that polio and smallpox were around for years, allowing vaccines to be researched and tested over a broad period of time. This flu just got here thus any vaccine will be developed and administered quickly, leaving doubt in people's minds about safety and side effects.
The problem is that we cannot be certain that this will be as serious in nature as previous pandemic flu's have been.
