Massive vaccination campaign in Sweden...have we all gone mad?

It seems like we should be more concerned about our leaders' insanity than Swine Flu considering the amount of money they are willing to spend on a vaccination campaign in the midst of a global financial depression.

A Swedish newspaper reported that they want 1.5 million people from the district of Västra Götaland to get vaccinated in September, which I assume includes basically everybody. I live there and I didn't even know that Västra Götaland had such a large population! In order to be able to do so, they would be able to perform vaccinations at schools, mobile facilities and sport arenas since the hospitals wouldn't be able to handle to vaccinate everybody.

According to the article, without the vaccination between 300 000 and 600 000 people will fall ill (I am not even going to start speculating in how they came up with that number). So far 19 people have had the Swine Flu in Västra Götaland (since it is pretty much indistinguishable from the normal flu I don't know if that is even correct). So from 19 cases, we expect it to jump to 600 000 cases?

We all seem to be jumping on the bandwaggon without considering the risks. We should all also be asking ourselves where this virus came from (like i have written about in previous articles, 1 2).

I have survived the flu before, and I would prefer to stick this one out too. After all, it will help me to build up resistance and make me more likely to be able to fight off future flus. A vaccine will only weaken my immune system. Nothing is more important than our health and the health of our children. Don't be intimidated by threats.
