Steve Benson for October 23, 2009

I don’t quite get the reason behind this fear. Is it anti-government now that Obama is prez? Is it just anti-science in general, and, if so, why this vaccine? Are people imagining some big conspiracy, and, if so, to do what?

I’ve avoided the book too, ahab. I’ve followed the news long enough to see most of it as it happened, and I agree it’s too doggoned depressing seeing it all together. People forget that folk remedies faded out because science works better. Folk remedies that worked got taken up and straightened out by science, so they became reliable!

so my question to you three is this: In your opinion, is the current level of fear or suspicion of the H1N1 vaccine consistent with other vaccines or is it worse?

I think worse. There’s input from the 1970s swine-flu problems and the modern idiocy of mistrusting vaccines as sources of autism, now thoroughly disproven, and it seems to be coming from across the political spectrum.

But what if Jesus wants you to get a vaccine?

^ Then Jesus is obviously part of the Socialist conspiracy.

it’s my understanding that one of our first gifts was free will

it’s so funny how we criticize each other’s uses of it

Scott: I have no doubt that you are a religious man, but I have to question what is your religion. Jesus told his dIsciples that god is LOVE. He gave them TWO commandments; Love the lord God with all thy heart and soul and love thy neighbor as thyself. After reading all of the HATE that you spew forth in your postings I don’t know what your religion is other than it is not Christianity

Dr.Canuck , please explain…

I wanna know, too. ~waits.~
