I just don’t know what to think, Robert. EVERYTHING the government and
corporate do reeks. My brother, who is studying to be a nurse, is in first
stage clinicals right now. He has to do his internship at various hospitals. He
said he’s going to have to take the “swine” flu vaccine when
it becomes available. I don’t want him to, but I bet he will. He won’t
risk flunking out of nursing school for refusing the vaccine. He’s
already had to have umpteen different vaccinations just to be able to work around
all those sick people.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

bold'>Swine Flu vaccine</span></span></b></span><strong><b><font
face="Times New Roman">. That’s a new regulation. Take the vaccine or get
fired. </font></b></strong><br>
<br>
But several thousand of those health workers are staging a protest in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Albany</st1:City></st1:place>, and surveys have
indicated that many more will refuse the shot. During an ordinary <span
class=yshortcuts><span id="lw_1254501517_5">flu season</span></span>, between
40 and 50 percent of NY health workers decline the vaccine. <br>
<br>
Why? They don’t think it’s necessary, and they worry about the
dangers of the vaccine. This time around, they’re particularly worried,
because the federal government has barred any lawsuits against Swine Flu
vaccine manufacturers, in the event of serious adverse effects. <br>
<br>
Why would the feds make such an exemption for these pharmaceutical companies? <br>
<br>
Let’s say you bought a new car, and as you were driving down the freeway,
the wheels fell off and you crashed into a barrier and sustained major
injuries. Would the auto manufacturer deserve to wriggle off the hook? <br>
<br>
Common sense tells us that, when the government guarantees vaccine makers a
clear profit with no risks, something is very wrong. Adverse effects, like
nervous system damage, are expected. <br>
<br>
Would you sign a contract to buy a new car, if at the last minute, the oily
salesman remarked, “Of course, you know, if the engine drops on the
ground, you can’t sue anybody.” <br>
<br>
To examine the “logic” behind this no-risk regulation for vaccine
manufacturers, read the following quote from Dr. Tadataka Yamada, who works at
the Gates Foundation. The doctor states he owns stock in GSK, one of the firms
making Swine Flu vaccine. His remarks were published in the <span
class=yshortcuts><span style='cursor:pointer' id="lw_1254501517_6">New England
Journal of Medicine</span></span> on August 20. <br>
<br>
“The generous donations [of vaccine] made by <span class=yshortcuts><span
id="lw_1254501517_7">Sanofi-Aventis</span></span> and <span class=yshortcuts><span
id="lw_1254501517_8">GlaxoSmithKline</span></span> set an example that all <strong><b><font
face="Times New Roman">manufacturers</font></b></strong> should emulate. In
return for their responsible actions, it would be reasonable for <strong><b><font
face="Times New Roman">manufacturers </font></b></strong>to be <strong><b><font
face="Times New Roman">indemnified against</font></b></strong> liability from
potential adverse reactions to their vaccines.” <br>
<br>
What? <br>
<br>
Yamada is saying: Well, these companies are good guys, so let’s not
punish them if they make a destructive vaccine. It’s quid pro quo. They
help us, we help them. It’s only fair. They’re doing their best.
Why should we punish them? <br>
<br>
Somehow, there is a connection between generosity--<wbr>-giving away
vaccines---and zero accountability for making a destructive product. Sorry, it
doesn’t wash. <br>
<br>
If a corn farmer who brings five million ears of corn to market every year also
gives away 10,000 ears of corn to the poor, but much of his corn is poisoned or
filled with dangerous mold, he should be protected from lawsuits? <br>
<br>
And on top of that, everybody HAS TO eat the corn or face loss of their jobs? <br>
Mainstream reporters and their editors should be having a field day with
government-mandated no-risk for vaccine manufacturers. This should be a scandal
of huge proportions. But of course, that’s not the case. <br>
<br>
Not in this climate of fear about Swine Flu. It reminds me of the rush to
judgment of federal legislators and the press, after 9/11. “If the
president wants to attack <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1:place>,
we have to go along. Who cares whether Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. We
can’t ‘back down.’” <br>
<br>
If our legal system were functioning properly, it would be impossible to cancel
risk for maiming or killing citizens, while at the same time ordering people to
accept the medical treatment that carries that risk. A <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place> court would strike down the
regulation that demands health workers take the Swine Flu vaccine. <br>
<br>
The few drug companies who can deliver hundreds of millions of vaccinations
know what they’re doing. They’re leveraging their position. The
companies are getting the real immunity. From prosecution. From judgments. <br>
