Refusing swine flu vaccine? Quarantine and $1,000 per day fine

August 28, 9:34 AM Huntsville Natural Parenting Examiner Katie Drinkard


A bill that has recently passed the Massachusetts senate gives the government a little too much power.  The bill is being hurried along due to fears of a Swine Flu pandemic this flu season.

According to the bill, if there is a Swine Flu pandemic and you don't get the Swine Flu vaccine, you can be ordered into quarantine.  If you refuse the quarantine, you can face a fine of $1,000 per day that you resist.



I'm including only those two paragraphs because the whole story is only five paragraphs long . . . but it also has a video clip.

Finally the government Will give me a paid vacation.

I just love the beach in the fall the air is cripes and sun warm---heaven.

So Hubby and I drive down to cape cod and check into a 4 star Hotel, $500.00 a night. we then head for a hospital coiffing, choking and falling down.

Most likely we will be quarantined in the hotel we just registered in as that is now legal address for us.   

30 days quarantine in a luxury sweet, 24 /7 room service,  Chances to sneakout at night to head for the night life in town, 30 days of beach combing and heading back to rooms that have been cleaned and polished.

Awaking every morning to a breakfast tray, WELL what you looking at.  If the government force's me into quarantine at the hotel I am staying, I have to accept the unknown and march bravely to my suite.

I never said I had the flu I just didn't feel to well as bad clams can do to you.

What, What What , you think I should fight the government and demand to be placed at the Salvation Army center.?

Oh Sigh I feel like Peg Bundy planning a vacation for her family.

The fact that the lab 'Rats that created the vaccine won't take it should speak volumes.

I've never had a flu vaccine either.

My daughter does as she's an x-ray tech and it's required. My son had them while in the Navy.

Both of them always get sick when they get vaccinated.

This swine flu vaccine scares me more than getting the flu does.

It's already here and there's supposedly will be no vaccine here until mid-October according to the local paper. It showed up at UT the first week of school....

TCU and UTA have already reported cases as well.  I imagine we will see more in the schools soon.

I don't do flu shots as well.

Remember back in 1976 when we had the last swine flu scare around 25 people died from complications from the vaccine...

While only one person (at Fort Dix) actually died from the "swine flu"

I had my first AND last flu vaccine back in 1976, during the last swine flu scare.
I was sick as a dog for 2 days, longer than I had ever been sick with any flu, and I have not and will not take a flu vaccine today.

I've never had a flu shot in my life ever since I found out more people die of side effects than the actual flu.

I get the regular flu shot every year.  Work requires me to be in and out of lots of hospitals, so I take this precaution.  The only adverse reaction I have ever had is a sore arm for a day.  I've had colds and sinus infections, but have not had the flu in over 10 years.

Never had the flu vaccine myself and I am fine. As long as I take precautions, I should be fine for the most part.

Personally, I'm growing tired of the continued hype of this H1N1 "outbreak" that's supposed to happen. First of all, how do they KNOW it's going to get worse?? We already know that the H1N1 strain was manufactured. To what end? Did they remanufacture it to make it worse?? Does the Govt intend on releasing a more virulent strain?? Why the imposition of the vaccines?? Even the scientists that developed the vaccine won't take it. Why do we suppose that would be?? Is it ineffective or .....

deadly??

I've gotten shot with the flu vaccine for quite a few years.  The only problem I ever had was (last year) that I got a nasty 24-hour bug that I'm 110% sure was not related to the shot.  (Got the bug from The Heiress, who was just getting over it at the time.)
