The Coming Flu Tax

April 26, 2013 by Bob Livingston

Besides the fact that it doesn’t work and carries harmful side effects, Congress is now poised to give you one more reason to avoid taking a seasonal flu vaccine: a 75 cent per-dose tax.

This tax — now being discussed in Congress — will not be put in place to fund a government program to make sure poor children are healthier or for any other reason that could be considered “palatable” by collectivists and other supporters of wealth redistribution. The money will go to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund, a program that absolves Big Pharma of any consequences of the harmful poisons it foists onto an uneducated or often duped public

A tax to remain healthy - riiiight

There are probably hundreds of taxes like this in Obamacare.   :mad:

I don't take flu shots, and haven't had any flu-like symptoms for over two decades. Maybe every two or three years, I might get a mild head cold.

BTW, I'm 74, still smoke and still drink. Perhaps there's a connection. Ya think?

I've had flu shots in the past. But once Congress puts its mitts on voluntary inoculation against whatever illness I MIGHT get, ****it. Get screwed, boys. Ain't gonna play that game.

I'd gt sick every time I had a flu shot, so no more.

Seems to be social engineering to me. In USA it only worked in half of those who got it.

They were mandatory when I was in the Army.  They always made me feel like crap for several days.  I haven't had a flu shot since 1992 when I got out.

 :lmao: I'm gigging because I always said "If everyone gets their flu shot, why do I need one?"
