    A few years back they tried to get everyone real excited about getting their flu shots, and it was beginning to make headway until some laboratory in Poland or Chechoslovakia revealed that the vaccine was a vehicle for infection. Everything stopped after that.

    They had a big swine flu publicity campaing back in the 1970's resulting in a lot of disease and deaths from the vaccine.

    Nothing has changed, really.

    Back around 1900 some scientists were trying to figure out why people had severe reactions to vaccines.
    The word they came up with is ALLERGY.
