Is it "The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf'" or a realistic scenario? Tens of millions died in 1918, so anything is possible.

There's always a new "crisis" flu...

- Bird flu
- East Nile mosquito flu
What's the next flu crisis?

They can take their vaccine and shove it. I’m not going to be willingly vaccinated.

Don’t worry. The Swine Flu shot that they are developing WILL KILL some people anyway.

TUESDAY, July 21 (HealthDay News) — A high-level U.S. government decision in 1976 to vaccinate 43 million people against swine flu backfired — badly.
Not only did the dreaded outbreak never materialize (illness never spread beyond 240 soldiers stationed at Fort Dix, N.J.) but some 500 Americans who did get vaccinated came down with a rare neurodegenerative condition called Guillain-Barre syndrome, which many experts believe was linked to the shot. Twenty-five of those 500 people died.

RED ALERT! NEW PEOPLE CONTROLS NEEDED TO PROTECT THE POPULATION.
GOVERNMENT WILL USE THE ALLEGED CRISIS TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO COMPLIANCE.
After the nanobots in the flue vaccine take control of our minds, socialism will be very easy!
I just had to throw in a black helicopter! /sarc hehehe

Here we go again with the irresponsible scaremongering where the government is supposed to be the only savior. Epidemiologists have declared H1N1 flu a mild strain that doesn’t have severe symptoms months ago. But facts seldom change alarmist agendas.
