The flu scare in the 70's was really scarry. At that time I had a wife and 4 children. I haven't a clue why I was skeptical of the vaccine. My wife wanted to get the family the shots and I didn't. I finally reasoned with her that if everyone else got the shot, our chances of getting the flu are nil. So we decided not to get any shots for the family.

I had the swine flu shot in 1976. It contained live flu virus & I got
really sick the very next day.
As I understand it they don't use live virus anymore, but why do so many people have blind faith that what they are injecting into us doesn't do more harm than good?
These articles are scary. http://www.whale.to/vaccines/horowitz.html
If flu shots ever become mandatory, then LIE, LIE, LIE! If you have to produce paperwork to prove that you ever had the flu shot then tell them you threw it away because you didn't know you were supposed to keep it. LIE SOME MORE!
Then watch to see how other people do with the "mandatory" shot & decided at a later time if it is worth the risk.

Typical FDA approval can take 16 months but our vaccine can be produced in 3-4 months?
The drug industry's main trade association claims that overall approval time has not changed substantially. In 2000, drug approval took approximately 15.6 months, an increase from 1999's 11.6 months. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=how+long+for+fda+drug+approval&page=1&qsrc=0&ab=3&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.injuryissues.com%2Ffind%2Farticle-746.html Then there is what the FDA refers to "Accelerated Approval" Accelerated ApprovalTraditional approval requires that clinical benefit be shown before approval can be granted. Accelerated approval is given to some new drugs for serious and life-threatening illnesses that lack satisfactory treatments. This allows an NDA to be approved before measures of effectiveness that would usually be required for approval are available. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2002/402_drug.html |

Is that approval for ...the old grown in the egg version.... or the new Dog kidney, green monkey cells, or even the wild and crazy Cornell University's ....
Do you want that vaccine With Or Without Caterpillar? (I can have it ready in 10 minutes..)
..................................................................................................................
excerpt-
Using a strategy involving a genetically modified baculovirus and caterpillar cells scientists from Protein Sciences Corporation have been able to speed up a key step in the
development of an experimental cell-based influenza vaccine. They report their findings
today at the 2005 American Society for Microbiology Biodefense Research Meeting.
"The bird flu may become the next flu pandemic strain. It could happen at any time," says
Keyang Wang, a scientist at Protein Sciences Corp. and a researcher on the study. "The
most effective method to control such an outbreak is the widespread use of a vaccine. The
traditional egg-based method requires 3 to 6 months to develop the vaccine. With our cell-
based method, the time from receipt of the virus strain to the final vaccine product would
be shortened to approximately 1 to 2 months."
