 SO, you cant turn on your TV these days without hearing about the impending swine flu (H1N1) pandemic that is going to sweep our nation and kill hundreds of thousands of people if we all dont run out and get our H1N1 vaccines.

The thing that gets me is that this has all happened before, back in the 70s they were doing the SAME THING....the government was scaring the hell out of American citizens telling them of the upcoming pandemic of the swine flu and persuing a very aggressive vaccination push to get all Americans to take the vaccine they rushed to put together without proper testing to see if it was even safe and what any short or long term effects would be on those that got it.

Turns out, there was no swine flu pandemic that year, many folks did indeed get the vaccine because of the recommendation of the government and there WERE deaths, but not from the flu, rather the vaccine the government touted as "safe" and "needed" made many people fall ill and some to even die, there were more deaths from the very thing citizens were told was going to keep them safe....and im afraid we are all gearing up to make a royal repeat of history :(

I hope more Americans will take better care of themselves this upcoming (and ALL) flu seasons by washing their hands as often as possible, by staying away from sick people as much as they can, eating healthy and natually boosting their immune systems. and I HOPE that Americans will realize that this is JUST THE FLU and nothing to panic about!!!

PLEASE watch these videos for more on the swine flu debacle of the 70s. Im sure there are even cafemom members that can remember from first hand accounts what happened back then and could leave a comment about it. Educate yourselves before just doing what the government is telling you is best and safe for you...KNOW what you are injecting into your body, the ingrediants and the effects they will have on your body PLEASE!
