Because I am a part of the “anti-vaccine movement”, I am sensitive to the constant flow of headlines surrounding this whole media-hyped H1N1/Swine Flu pandemic scare. Lately, though, a few headlines grabbed my attention in a different way. These alternative media stories were about alleged “RFID tracking devices” which are supposedly going to be used to “tag” people who have been given the H1N1 vaccine. Accordingly, if one does not have such a tag (in a “wristband” format), he or she would be “caught” at a government run roadblock or checkpoint and be forced to succumb to the vaccine… or very bad things would happen to them.
I will to attempt to put all of this RFID tracking information – as it is being fed to us online – into some kind of perspective – a perspective that doesn’t refute nor deny that it could be real, but does look at the feasibility of the “what if” scenarios. It should be an interesting ride. So, buckle-up, don your tinfoil hat and let’s begin!
In the last couple of weeks, a video of a woman claiming to be involved in “drills” (one presumes military or police “drills”), has made rounds on the internet and via email. Anti-vaccine websites and activist websites (yes, even this one) linked to the video and helped it to reach a minor “viral” level. To put it plainly, this video is pretty difficult to swallow. It’s not that I believe the woman is a liar or she is involved in some anti-anti-vaccine conspiracy or anything like that. If we are to take the information actually conveyed in the video with little or no supporting evidence, it quickly becomes hard to believe for the average Joe. There just isn’t enough data in the video to be able to form an opinion of the truthfulness of the message.

Some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies are reaping billions of dollars in extra revenue amid global concern about the spread of swine flu.
Analysts expect to see a boost in sales from GlaxoSmithKline, Roche and Sanofi-Aventis when the companies report first-half earnings lifted by government contracts for flu vaccines and antiviral medicines.

ATLANTA – The last time the government embarked on a major vaccine campaign against a new swine flu, thousands filed claims contending they suffered side effects from the shots. This time, the government has already taken steps to head that off.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—The number of cadets with confirmed cases of the swine flu at the Air Force Academy has increased to 67.
The academy said Monday that a total of 121 incoming freshmen with flu-like symptoms are being kept in dorms, away from other cadets.
The “doolies,” members of the incoming freshman class, are among about 1,300 recent arrivals for their first weeks of military training. Cadets who started showing symptoms were separated from the rest of the class at the base near Colorado Springs late last week.

All countries will need access to vaccines against swine flu as the pandemic is “unstoppable,” a senior World Health Organisation official said Monday.
WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) – The new H1N1 influenza virus bears a disturbing resemblance to the virus strain that caused the 1918 flu pandemic, with a greater ability to infect the lungs than common seasonal flu viruses, researchers reported on Monday.
Tests in several animals confirmed other studies that have shown the new swine flu strain can spread beyond the upper respiratory tract to go deep into the lungs — making it more likely to cause pneumonia, the international team said.

The path of a popular medicine from the laboratory to the chemist or doctor’s surgery can involve years of clinical trials on a select group of patients.
When the new vaccine for swine flu arrives in Britain, regulators said this weekend, it could be approved for use in just five days.
Regulators at the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) said the fast-tracked procedure has involved clinical trials of a “mock-up” vaccine similar to the one that will be used for the biggest mass vaccination programme in generations. It will be introduced into the general population while regulators continue to carry out simultaneous clinical trials.

The entire population could be vaccinated against swine flu as health chiefs draw up plans to build a nationwide immunity to the disease.
In what would be the biggest vaccination programme of the last 50 years, experts are already formulating a priority list of patients before the bug becomes more virulent.
The fast-tracking comes after the first British patient without underlying health problems succumbed to the disease – the 15th swine flu death in the UK.

(NaturalNews) As the anticipated July release date for Baxter’s A/H1N1 flu pandemic vaccine approaches, an Austrian investigative journalist is warning the world that the greatest crime in the history of humanity is underway. Jane Burgermeister has recently filed criminal charges with the FBI against the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and several of the highest ranking government and corporate officials concerning bioterrorism and attempts to commit mass murder. She has also prepared an injunction against forced vaccination which is being filed in America. These actions follow her charges filed in April against Baxter AG and Avir Green Hills Biotechnology of Austria for producing contaminated bird flu vaccine, alleging this was a deliberate act to cause and profit from a pandemic.

GENEVA, July 10 (Reuters) – The World Health Organisation (WHO) will probably hold a media briefing on Monday to issue guidance about the need for a H1N1 influenza jab, a WHO spokeswoman said on Friday.
“The recommendations are still in the process of being developed,” Fadela Chaib told a news briefing in Geneva, where the United Nations agency is based.
