Beef Recall, Swine Flu and Health Care

I've posted on these topics separately, but today, it just seems so much is "coming together!" Something like half a million pounds of beef may be tainted with E-coli, as well as E-coli found in favorite swimming holes and wading streams. With fewer deaths than 100, swine flue is labeled a pandemic, and our Congress and President want to give us all health care. There is a race between countries and companies as to who will come up with the swine flu vaccine the quickest and in the greatest quantity, and there is discussion of whether or not it should be mandatory. Excuse me, I think somewhere I should be able to make a few decisions regarding my health and I think any organization that incites this kind of fear when less than 100 deaths have actually occurred should not be doing anyone's thinking for them at all! How many will die from the vaccines? I realize, most people will be buying into the fear by next fall, but let's consider a few things logically. Every year on average, 36,000 people die of the flu and flu related complications, but we don't call that pandemic or even epidemic, do we? AIDS is much more wide spread and although it's called a pandemic, nobody is quarantining or even releasing specific information about that disease. That pandemic is still still being managed on the "dating honor system." I realize science and government and politicians world wide will continue with the "protective banter" and explanations that defy logic, but the reality is, what is going to happen has already been made clear, and it will continue to unfold regardless of recalls, vaccines, and political programs.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. the Revelation
