Military Flu Shot Guinea Pigs

October 1, 2009 – 3:03 pm

As you can see here, the Armed Forces will soon be forced to take the ‘swine flu’ vaccine,

of both doubtful merit and safety, whether they want it or not.  To subject those who have

chosen to wear the uniform to de facto drug testing, which the link above  quotes the USAF’s

General Renaurt as stating will be the result of forced injections, is as callous as it is prejudicial to national

security.  Here are his quoted words:

“Because I can compel people to get the shots, larger numbers will have the vaccine,” said Renuart, commander of U.S. Northern Command. “They will, as a percentage of the population, be vaccinated more rapidly than many of us. So we may see some objective results, good or not,

of the vaccinations.”

The Armed Forces are not supposed to be a de facto scientific labatory for medical experimentation; if I am wrong about this, then ‘truth in

advertising’ ought to be included explicitly in all recruiting literature, so that high school kids (and their families) know, up front, that Junior may be used as a pin cushion for the kinds of ‘experiments’ we are talking about.

Beyond the moral and operational objections raised above, is it really smart policy to take actions that may erode or destroy soldiers’ trust in the chain of command?  Seven years of war do not make recruiting easy;

retention won’t be any easier if this vaccine bombs, or if it has pernicious side-effects, as was the

case with the last swine flu panic in 1976.
