Much Fear Mongering Being Promoted

I suspect you have likely been alarmed by the media's coverage of the swine flu scare. It has a noticeable subplot - preparing you for draconian measures to combat a future pandemic as well as forcing you to accept the idea of mandatory vaccinations.

On April 27, Time magazine published an article which discusses how dozens died and hundreds were injured from vaccines as a result of the 1976 swine flu fiasco, when the Ford administration attempted to use the infection of soldiers at Fort Dix as a pretext for a mass vaccination of the entire country.

Despite acknowledging that the 1976 farce was an example of “how not to handle a flu outbreak”, the article still introduces the notion that officials “may soon have to consider whether to institute draconian measures to combat the disease”.

Fortunately some respectable journalists recognize this and are seeking to spread a voice of reason to the fear that is being promoted in the majority of the media.

1. Oh, blah blah blah blah blah.........

The media's breathless, over-the-top coverage of the swine flu scare, and all other disease outbreaks, is to provide entertainment to the masses (to keep them pacified so they don't object to the fascist takeover) and generate ad revenue.

2. If you RTFA (as they say on FARK),

You'll find it agrees with you.
FYI: RTFA= Read The F***ing Article.

6. That photograph -

the one of the little kid and the pigs - is hilarious, and designed to drive the fear-mongers insane.

Someone has a very seriously wonderful sense of humor.

Thanks for a very good article.........

4. The media is whipping this flu thing into an epidemic for its own benefit.

Fear = more viewers = more ad revenue.

That's why they desperately try to find a hot topic of the moment, which they can ram down our throats. It serves two purposes: it diverts attention away from the real story, and it ups the ratings.

The media hates it when there isn't a blonde coed missing in some foreign land, or a celebrity murder trial, or when Lindsay Lohan just decides to stay home and away from the photographers.

They love dirty laundry.

5. Ah, a Don Henley fan, I see.

10. Riddle me this batman if they were actually trying to get a good ol' fashioned panic

why didn't they use the following headline

Humanity at Risk

It was used abroad in other press outlets and actually was the statement of WHO?

if anything it tells me how much muricans actually love to be treated like sheltered children

By the way the vaccines are a fascist plot and pandemics have never, ever happened is an old anti science shtick

12. As a matter of fact, forced vaxing IS

Health Fascism. It's one thing to shut down schools, etc., but to inject God knows what kind of CRAP into the arms of everyone, or go to jail-with a HUGE possibility of worse sickness or probable death, I'm sorry, anyone that believes that's a better solution needs to step back a moment and rethink the options! Is it a part of our constitution?

13. plenty of case law that contradicts your staetment

and as a former health worker I can tell you if you have an active case of TB they can forcibly take you to the isolation ward at your local hospital

Sorry...

Don't and won't see eye to eye on this

15. I must commend you

on the fact that you disagreed without getting nasty like so many others. Thanks!

11. Thanks for posting .

I was going to post this since I receive Dr. Mercola's newsletters, but you beat me to it.

14. Better still,

a friend of mine (retired NP), writes for him, so I get these early - I THINK she wrote this, but don't take that to the bank.
