I've been wondering about (and opposed to) the masses running into Walgreen's, Walmart, RITE AID to get the poison flu needle pumped into their arms. First of all, we all know the flu followers might not have guessed the right strain to begin with, but what is worse than the poison of the product (money or otherwise) is the utter socialization of many, many people. Think about how easy it would be for governing bodies to use your regular, yearly, drugstore inoculation as an opportunity to control the population (get rid of people if resources get too tight). I know that sounds extreme, and hopefully nothing like that ever happens, but yes, scary how easy it is to get people to beg for control.

A big mistake - and all-too-common - is to assign probabilities to propositions, then dismiss them based upon that speculative assessment. Many may deem it unlikely that their government would use flu vaccines to nefarious ends, and so wave away that suggestion by saying, "Come on, that's not going to happen!" But "Come on..." is not a valid refutation. It can happen - it is within the realm of possibility; and not wholly unlikely, given the historical atrocities perpetrated by governments.
What's more, it's entirely within our power to mitigate that possibility by not blindly running with the herd as led by mass media and the prevailing cultural paradigm. Use of the gift of intellect is a natural responsibility that each person bears. To pretend to abdicate responsibility (it can never be truly abdicated) is to become the slave of he to whom the responsibility is abdicated.
Thank you for reading my post and for sharing your thoughts - it's much appreciated! Enjoy the day.
My pleasure :) Can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone else is thinking along the same lines rather than the 'ole wave off, "Oh, that would never happen!"
Love what you're saying about the gift of the intellect being a responsibility.
You too, enjoy your day!
