these are just government fronts for death panels–Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck told me so-you betcha!
Get your conspiracy theories straight here, this has nothing to do with Sarah and her death panels.
The proper flu conspiracy is that we should not vaccinate our children because vaccines cause autism, even though it has been proven about a thousand times that they don’t. Now that we have this straight, please continue to rave like loons.
I volunteered for one of Obama’s death panels so I won’t need a swine flu vaccine. I’m completely surrounded by liberals! Please kill me now!
Al Gore invented the swine flu by making love to Tipper.

I don’t know what all this talk about ”conspiracies” is about. Every poll I’ve seen and there was even a month ago on StlToday where 60 to 70% of those polled say they will not take the vaccine.
So where’s the conspiracy? Just because Baxter and ALL the other vaccine makers have immunity from lawsuits if anything goes wrong is reason enough for my family not to take it, oh yeah and the fact that vitamin D, liquids and rest is all you need to take care of it if you were healthy before you get the Swine Flu/h1n1.
So why not grow up and quit pulling the conspiracy card every time someone has an opinion other than yours, and if it was your idea of a joke, well it was not funny.
The government is having a hard time selling this one and now they have 150 million doses and only 50 million takers. Check any google, yahoo, New York Times (for the liberals) and Fox News (for the conservies) and you’ll see 60% across the board won’t take it. Maybe you’re the conspiracy, because the majority thinks like I do.
Oh yeah, but we’re nuts because we know the issues instead of blathering about things we don’t know about like you do.

In a newly-published study, vaccinated monkeys demonstrated “significant delays in the acquisition of critical survival reflexes” compared to an unvaccinated control group, reports CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.
I’m sure if you look at the right polls they will tell you that about 85% of people once believed in the tooth fairy. This does not mean that the tooth fairy exists since democracy does not dictate common sense.
Sweetness, are you paranoid about all vaccines, or just this one? By all means, keep refusing to vaccinate yourself and family if that is what you want, it does not effect me. I, however, prefer to reserve my apprehension for legitimate concerns, kind of like all of the hideous diseases that have been nearly eliminated because of vaccinations (not quite eliminated because paranoid knuckle-heads fear big bad vaccines)
I am sure Jefferson County residents are glad to hear about that. By the way, thanks for the information about it.

um…that’s five including you, sweetness! call me crazy but i prefer to get my medical news from MDs and scientists and not cherry-picked and distorted craziness from the glenn beck comedy hour and other assorted partisan hacks.

The majority of the country also supported the Iraq War for the first few years…the majority of the country was against inter-racial marriage less than 30 years ago…the majority of the country can’t name two supreme court justices…the majority of the country thinks it’s just fine to deny CIVIL rights to gays and lesbians because they can’t grasp the simple concept of separation of church and state.
what i am saying is that your argument is idiotic.
