Government Flu Shots: From "Recommended" to Mandatory?

Posted by Karen De Coster at February 27, 2008 06:00 PM
The government has taken one step closer to realizing its dream of forcing people to get flu shots. Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices used to "recommend" that children from 6 months to five years get flu shots, it now recommends that all "children" from ages 6 months to 18 years old get them. In short time, this will become mandatory, as will all other medicinal "recommendations" of the State. The states are already doing this.

They decided against "recommending" the meningitis vaccination - but only because there is not yet a large enough vaccination supply to go around. I'm sure Big Pharma will change that.
As a side note, I am horrified how most people I know are so hell-bent on getting their flu shot every year because they are brainwashed to believe that it is a necessity because their government says so, and the media safety ninnies affirm this with their interminable "warnings" to the ignorant public.
