This just makes me sick. I shudder to think where this leads.

Next year they'll chip everyone who had the flu shot.












Just kidding. But not so far-fetched. :

Are people going to be aware of this next year before they get their shot? I doubt it, but then again people who get the flu shot they probably wouldn't care about such a thing.

Ick. I wonder if this will show how few people actually get the flu shot? Anyone have any links to the percentages of American adults who are vaccinated w/ the flu vaccine? I read somewhere that numbers were extremely low. Don't they say that at least 80% of the population has to be vaccinated against something to prevent an epidemic, or prevent mass spreading? I'm not sure if that's correct.

The resulting vaccination map would allow swift intervention in neighborhoods left vulnerable to the fast-moving respiratory illness.
That's scary. What are they going to do? Run around jabbing people with their poison flu shots? I mean, how do you intervene with flu???

You know, that part struck me as well. What would they do? "Intervention" can mean many things.

For sure. Big Brother was supposed to be a fictional novel not a 'how to' manual. :

It's scary and I wouldn't be surprised if they start that in many towns... Scary. If they keep doing that DH will have to quit the AF and move to Europe with me. Though they have nearly the same vax schedule now in Germany and push for the flu vax too... Who knows, in 10 years we prolly will be demonized for not taking the flu shot, thanks to chips and tracking devices publicly. Like: red alert, your neighbor isn't vaxed... And then you have the folks with hay forks and burning torches at your door for being so inconsiderate and endangering the herd.... :

I hate when they say that the elderly get (whatever) Its not the sprightly old lady that you see at the grocery, its the old lady close to death crammed into an over crowded nursing home :

: This is crazy. It reminds me of that Tom Cruise movie Minority Report. One day they'll be able to sniff out all of those people who are thinking of not vaccinate them and arrest them before they can make up their mind and "interventions" will be done!!

That's exactly the visual I got reading this. Those little creatures running around scanning people's vax bracelets and administering shots if you don't have one.
