The subject of the vaccine came up today while I was giving blood. All the Red Cross workers were concerned about how up-to-date the vaccine is and, as you point out, what other strains are out there that we don't know about. They're also concerned about the interaction with all the other recent viruses that have been introduced into the general population and what kind of testing has been done against those (CMV, various forms of herpes that are in the same family). What surprised me was that they all said that they wouldn't get the vaccination.

what's the matter ?

Don't you know that government, for the lack of a better word, is design to lie, deceive and cheat to people, use them and advance the agendas of those in control of the power button keys ...

We are all peons, and doomed peons at that. Brush me aside as an inconsequential pest. Yet, I speak the truth, we are already cooked, it is just a matter of time before one damned idiot releases the one that it is needed. Either a dirty bomb or some rogue arsehole getting the keys to the right button on the big system of either side.

We are our own worst enemy and we have created the needed instrumentation to blow us all to pieces.... it is not ïf" but rather a matter of time.

So... don't forget to have fun, it is all that really matter

Well, well, well.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stepped down Friday as chairman of a panel investigating the September 11 attacks, citing controversy over potential conflicts of interest with his private-sector clients.
