"Get your vaccines or die"

... well that's what Bill Frist said anyway.

I'm watching the newest episode of Bill Maher and he is going off on Bill Frist. It's kind of funny. They're arguing about the benefits of getting vaccines (specifically the swine flu). Now I wouldn't go as far as to say that I do not believe in vaccines, but I've never felt the need to get a flu shot. I hardly ever get the flu (colds and sinus infections yes, all the time, but not the flu) and I've never in my life gotten a flu shot. I also know of people who get flu shots and then get really sick. I just don't understand it. Plus, it's just the flu. Yes I know the flu sucks balls, but not that many people die from it... and if you take care of yourself you should be fine... even with the swine flu. People are little too paranoid sometimes. Anyway, I'm watching the show and I did a couple of google searches on the quotes Bill was throwing at Mr. Frist.... here are the quotes and my findings.

"There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know they are worthless but they go on selling them anyways" -former control officer at the FDA Dr. J Anthony Morris

Google search results: Dr. Morris’ findings show that the flu vaccine, when inhaled by lab animals "tended to enhance cancerous tumors."

In the March 4, 1977 issue of Science Jonas and Darrell Salk warned, "Live virus vaccines against influenza or poliomyelitis may in each instance produce the disease it intended to prevent. The live virus against measles and mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis (brain damage)

I love google... now they're talking about President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I have to give full attention to this one. See y'all tomorrow.

P.S. What you do you think of flu vaccines?
P.P.S If you can please watch this episode of Bill Maher. Cornel West just said "Afghanistan is where empires go to die." That's strong.

I'm sure many of you have noticed that I do not update this blog very often. I feel ashamed at my inability to keep an interest in things for longer than a few months. So, I've decided to revisit this political blog that I tried to start up a year ago. If I can manage to blog about sex twice a week then I should be able to blog about things of real importance. That being said, I recently realized that Bill Maher is a genious. Too bad no one seems to really listen to him. President Obama please pay attention, thank you.

"When it's something for us personally, like a laxative, it has to start working now. My TV remote has a button on it now called "On Demand". You get your ass on my TV screen right now, Jon Cryer, and make me laugh. Now! But when it's something for the survival of the species as a whole, we phase that in slowly.

Folks, we don't need more efficient cars. We need something to replace cars. That's what's wrong with these piddly, too-little-too-late half-measures that pass for "reform" these days. They're not reform, they're just putting off actually solving anything to a later day, when we might by some miracle have, a) leaders with balls, and b) a general populace who can think again. Barack Obama has said, "If we were starting from scratch, then a single-payer system would probably make sense." So let's start from scratch." ~Bill Maher
