What's really sad--if it's true--is the reduction of children getting basic immunizations against deadly diseases because the parents are afraid of vaccines.   I wanted to get it last fall, but I had to wait until last month to get my H1N1 vaccination.

Did you try doing  a youtube search for "Bell tolling for swine flu"? That is the title for the videos. It isn't mine, it is something that has gone viral. I like that it is facts and events, not speculation and conjecture.  I look forward to your thoughts once you have a chance to check it out.   I had to type it in and figured I probably didn’t get it right.

Follow the money, look at their track record as closely as you have the "church". I think our medical system has made great strides in emergency medicine, preventing illness and treating some diseases, but with just a little bit of research it is easy to see through the smoke screen about vaccinations, especially for the flu. As an atheist I have been shocked by how many "skeptics" loose the reasoning skills they used to debunk religion when it comes to our medical system. I wish as a group we put half the energy and thought into following the trails of the WHO and pharmaceutical companies that we put into researching the trails of churches. Below is a link to a  series of 6 videos, made by a nun/doctor talking about the events leading up to this "pandemic" she sites her sources and makes clear that all she is doing is stating the facts so that we can all make informed decisions and that no one should panic. I would love it if you would watch the videos, check her facts and let me know what if anything has peaked your interest and what trail you followed from there.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOJqQylO9zQ&feature=related if the link doesn't work  (I couldn't get it to paste for some reason) do a youtube search for "bell tolling for swine flu". By the way, I enjoy your blog. Thanks for writing it. “Anyone who does the research – using reputable sources of information (start with the World Health Organization) and not your friend’s blog”
