People,
If this article doesn't turn you into a vegetarian, we don't know what will!

Suza - what swine flu vaccine?
The CDC says this:
Is there a vaccine for swine flu?
Vaccines are available to be given to pigs to prevent swine influenza. There is no vaccine to protect humans from swine flu. The seasonal influenza vaccine will likely help provide partial protection against swine H3N2, but not swine H1N1 viruses.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome Link
In 1976, a national influenza campaign was designed to immunize nearly the entire United States population in fear of an influenza pandemic. However, the A/New Jersey/1976/H1N1 vaccine, also known as the "swine flu" vaccine, was found to be linked with the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and the program ended.

Vaccinate Your Children: CDC recommends that all children from 6 months up their 19th birthday get a flu vaccine every year.

Stop forcing your vegetarianism/veganism on everyone. Not every news story relates to being a vegetarian in some way, or harming animals. I'm going to go cook up a bloody medium-rare steak on the BBQ at this moment...MMMMmmmm..

And who will get the 12 million doses of Tamiflu with 300+million people in this country? Only 1 million doses is slated to come to CA for 36 million people.You have to take Tamiflu right away or it doesn't work. You don't have time to wait for a determination of which kind of flu you have.

Hi Tyler, re Comment #3, "what swine flu vaccine?"
Yesterday (Monday)I found a two-sided legal length flyer in English and Spanish, published by the Ventura County Health Services Agency, at my parent's house.
The headlines proclaimed :
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE SWINE FLU IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM.
It explained about the discovery of the swine flu virus and the two types of Swine Flu Vaccines (Monovalent and Bivalent).
And why it is URGENT that senior citizens (like my parents) get the vaccine.
The next headline yelled,
HOW TO GET YOUR FLU SHOT.
and listed the times and locations.
The first time I read the flyer I confess I did not notice the date of the year. It irked me that my octogenarian parents were urged to participate in what I consider an unscientific, unethical, experimental program, at the risk of their health.
That is in part what prompted me to hastilly post yesterday's "alternative" viewpoint on Swine Flu.
When I went back to retrieve the flyer I saw that it was dated 1976!
Times have changed.
The propoganda surrounding vaccines has a new spin.
Not a word is mentioned on the CDC web site about how we have turned the production of animal products, in this case pigs, into an unimaginable house of horrors.
That is all I have time to say at the moment.
