$elling The Flupocalypse
Fire Breathing Christian ^ | January 25, 2018 | FireBreathingChristian

Posted on 01/26/2018 7:49:18 AM PST by Sopater

While we’ve had over fifty Super Bowls with each accompanied by a more frenzied, fantastic wave of hype and mass marketing than the last, there is an annual event that is actually closing the gap on the NFL’s crown jewel when it comes to over-the-top hyper-marketing and product merchandising to Americans.

Enter: The Flupocalypse.

Each year it just gets bigger and bigger, with literally billions on the line as vaccine companies look to seize every opportunity to further their narrative that “vaccines are safe and effective, we should all vaccinate ourselves and our children, and anyone not getting with the State/Corporate program on vaccines is risking not only their lives and their children’s lives, but the very existence of humanity itself. So there!”

Never mind that there have been well over 3.5 billion dollars paid out to Americans who have been injured or killed by vaccines since the late 1980s or that the rate of auto-immune problems in the population has rocketed into the stratosphere side-by-side with the radical expansion of the American CDC’s vaccine schedule.

Nope, just move along…nothing to see here!

[We covered these sad realities in a bit more detail earlier this month in You Can’t Vaccinate Away Stupidity (But You Can Vaccinate Toward It).]

With Flupocalypse ’18 upon us, it’s nearly impossible to avoid being barraged by lovely little propaganda pieces like California hospitals face a ‘war zone’ of flu patients — and are setting up tents to treat them, wherein the LA Times propagandized in what has come to be typical fashion when it comes to promoting and marketing the “essential products and accessories” of Flupocalypse 2018.

Or Flupocalypse XXXVI…or whatever it’s going by this time around…

The point is this: BE TERRIFIED!!!

And RUN to your nearest doctor’s office or Walgreen’s or Ace Hardware for one of the scores of vaccines that they all seem to be stockpiling and pimping routinely these days.

Product must be sold, don’tcha know.

Dollars – billions of dollars – have to be made.

Year after year after year…

…and so what if a baby or two or 100 have to die to get us to the promised land of mass vaccination?

So what if the rate of autism has gone from 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 30-something in just decades? So what if, at the present rate of increase, one in two children will be born autistic (with 80% of males included) in the next 15-20 years or so?

That’s just the price of progress.

That’s just what it takes to get us to the happy Orwellian future charted by our good and benevolent “professional” masters.

So shut up and get with the program.

That’s the basic marketing plan.

And man, does it ever work on Americans! The speed with which the average American thoughtlessly complies and bends over without the slightest impulse to educate themselves or pursue anything remotely resembling informed consent is stunning and pathetic.

But that’s just kinda where we’re at right now in so many ways, isn’t it?

Where once we were a people of relative heartiness, confidence, and sanity, we’re now a regularly rattled, fragile, and utterly dependent herd of snowflakey little drones just waiting for the next wave of Corporate/State-sponsored “professionals” to fleece us and tell us what to do next (which invariably involves our being fleeced again).

This is the norm these days in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA.

Where once we endured incredible hardship and took fantastic risks in order to accomplish great things, we are now sent squealing like little girls at the mere suggestion that we might catch the measles or the flu.

Is that how free people behave?

Is that what brave people look like?

Or is what we’ve become something much more like cattle – cattle that gets weaker and more incapable of thinking (much less acting) on its own with each passing generation of “help” from the “professionals” who are feeding upon us.

Something to think about…while things like thought are still allowed in the herd…

I was born in 1932———and we got everything,including being quarantined——with a “Quarantine” sign on the front door.

It is MUCH better now.

It’s possible there is a slow pandemic, rather than a fast one like in 1918. That is, the flu is mutating faster than we can keep up with it. The “symptoms” are the low efficacy percentages (people who get it even after being vaccinated) and what seems to be a greater severity of the flu itself once you get it, vaccinated or not.

It’s not a scam, except in the sense that they are now trying to cover the fact that they missed the strain. Again. That may not be anyone’s fault but just the wily flu’s growing ability to mutate.

The more people who don’t get the vaccine, the greater the opportunity for mutation.

...”massive influx of unscreened immigrants might have anything to do with it”.....

Yes of course...and once one student in school gets it...they all carry it home to their families...roller coaster thereafter.

Vaccines are not perfect, but I’ll take them as they might help some. I was hospitalized for several days this summer with a nasty pneumonia. I had taken both of the recommended pneumonia vaccines, but my doctor commented that they only protect against garden variety pneumonia and what I contracted was a nasty strain. I didn’t take chances and got my flu shot

>> “Had the shot in Sep.” << Which is why you’re fighting the bug now! Nobody ever seems to learn from experience these days! .

Nope, have the shot every year. Am almost 70, lung damage since I was a teen. First flu in over 10 years and all the news warned this shot was only 10% effective for the type of flu this season. Believe it's not as bad for my age as I have watched relatives half my age down for days with this. So yep, I got it, but not as bad as it could have been. I'll keep getting the shots thank you. The shot didn't give me the flu.

Thats true, but I see a lot of times people coming in to the hospital complaining of the flu, but their test is negative.

"Still running from reality, huh!"

It's common knowledge that I'm straight, sober and have an opinion against using "recreational drugs." Yet, you seem to be unaware of what that projection says about you to readers.

I’ve never had a “flu shot,” and the last time I had anything like the flu was in the early ‘80s, and it only lasted about 1-1/2 days.

Hmm, there might actually be some causation between the income of video arcades and computer science doctorates though... need to do some more research on that one.

Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?

Have you just created a “conspiracy theory?”

"Thats true, but I see a lot of times people coming in to the hospital complaining of the flu, but their test is negative."

If they're vomiting or have diarrhea and don't have the flu, simply tell them that they probably have food poisoning or forgot to wash hands after touching a micro-nasty substance. That's very common with Malthusian trends and lack of hygiene education today.

Many in their teens and twenties are obviously having bacterial problems from oral sex and passing joints or pipes around. Armed with the knowledge of how such infections are transferred, a crew in a fast food restaurant, for example, can become much healthier with fewer absences from such illnesses.

Oh, and shutting down the drug/alcohol/divorce/cohabitation paradigm would help much toward focusing on health issues and other problems like the economy. Life wasn't perfect before the seventies, but it was brighter.

If all that they are proposing about vaccinations was as great as is being said,it wouldn’t need all that advertising.

perhaps...

I am a quality professional by trade, and so, by necessity, daily heavy application of industrial statistics is a way of life.

I teach people all the time that the concept of “correlation is not necessarily causation”. Some people understand that, but many do not.

I like to use the analogy of washing your car, and it raining the next day. Strong correlation, but not causation.

While I would be inclined to believe that the rise in autism is directly linked to vaccinations, much more statistical, empirical data is needed in order to fully support that theory.

My wife and I NEVER get the flu shot and neither one of us has had much more than a sniffle in so many years I can’t count them.

When growing up I can remember some times school closed because so many were absent with flu but hardly ever. Maybe twice. There were no vaccinations, no Tamiflu etc. Just be tough and get through it. Even though the epidemic of 1918 was fresh on our minds I do not remember panic or very much death or breathless reports about how serious the outbreak was.

I hate to be a cynic but medicine is about money and if a problem has to be created to make money so be it. If the dentist can convince you to have a checkup and cleaning every six months he wins. If you can be convinced an $80,000 back surgery with a questionable 35% chance of success will fix all your problems medicine wins. There is a long list of these kinds of procedures and life threatening problems. Just watch the evening news to see them all on parade. There is a new pill for every one of them. Just see your doctor and ask for it.

Ask a boomer woman how her hysterectomy has worked out for her. That was in vogue in the 80s and 90s. Not so much now. Why?

Ooh, ooh, this is me panicking about the flu....oh wait, never mind

I never take the shot, and never regret not having done so. Might make sense for people in certain narrow niches, but by and large, pffffft.

No flu shots for me. Not ever.

Haven’t had the flu in many years.

Go figure :)

This is what I’ve taken to help get over the worst case of the flu in memory:

Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CD9XGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
4 - 5 packets per day per hundred pounds of body weight. Really made a difference.

Lots of cough syrup + cough drops + warm lemon water

I am sure.... 1 study out of thousands.....
Even Empirical evidence supports vaccines.....
Don’t cherry pick studies that fit your predetermined conclusion....
