I just can't figure out why swine flu vaccines are a way to commit genocide as many conspiracy theorists are claiming, it makes no sense what so ever. Alex Jones has an article which suggests that the purpose is to give people Guillain-Barré Syndrome, but what Alex Jones doesn't include in the story is that the syndrome effects roughly 1 in 150,000 - that's better than some other vaccines.

Jones and others keep talking about how the vaccine is going to be forced on others, but so far there's been no evidence of this than Jones going off the wall that it will happen. Alex Jones is notoriously bad at predictions he makes.

The article also claims:
<div class="article-quote">

As we have previously documented, the swine flu vaccine is being rushed through safety procedures while governments have provided pharmaceutical companies with blanket immunity from lawsuits arriving out of the vaccine causing deaths and injuries.

</div>
But that's not what the linked article actually says. As per the first part about safety: it says they're using a mock-up vaccine to help speed alone procedures, but safety is still a priority. The second part is no where in the article, it's another one of those Alex Jones "pulled it out of my anus" situations.
<div class="article-quote">

It was previously revealed that some batches of the vaccine will contain mercury, a toxin linked with autism and neurological disorders. The vaccine will also contain the dangerous ingredient squalene, which has been directly linked with cases of Gulf War Syndrome and a host of other debilitating diseases.

</div>
The linked article for the "will contain mercury" is out of context. The Washington Post article, which isn't linked, actually says some multi-dose vials, not single does syringes, will contain Thimerosal, which does indeed contain mercury. The Jones article goes on to say its been linked to Autism, but that's a flat out lie promoted by idiots like Jenny McCarthy. There's no evidence, at all, that Autism has anything to do with vaccinations or the previously listed ingredients.

The article then claims:
<div class="article-quote">

The vaccine will also contain the dangerous ingredient squalene, which has been directly linked with cases of Gulf War Syndrome and a host of other debilitating diseases.

</div>
It links to another Prison Planet article as evidence, but what they don't seem to realize - probably from not doing proper research - is that squalene is a natural part of the human body, it is required in synthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. So then, why doesn't every single human being have "Gulf War Syndrome"?

Further it goes on to point out only 6% of polled pregnant women said they'd still take the vaccine, but it's an online poll from Mumsnet, and I'm not sure if that's a good source - aside from being online, web sites that publish fear mongering about vaccines, autism, and so forth, I'm not sure I can trust them to give readers good advice. It's a real shame that women are being misinformed, which is why mumps and other preventable diseases are on the rise again.

Soon I'm going to have a whole section dedicated to the vaccine controversy.
