France Considers Mandatory Flu
Vaccinations
Infowars
May 31, 2009
The French government will spend nearly a billion euros on a mandatory flu
vaccination this autumn, a French website reported on May 30. "France is
preparing a battle plan without precedent for this autumn, including an
obligatory vaccination campaign for all French of more than 3 months of
age," writes *Marie-Christine
Tabet*<http://www.lejdd.fr/cmc/societe/200922/le-plan-secret-contre-la-grippe-a_213201.html>for
Le Journal du Dimanche. "According to our information, the State will
place an order for 100 million units of influenza vaccine from three
laboratories (GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi and Novartis)."
*Hundreds objected to the mandated flu vaccinations in New Jersey.*
On May 15, Bloomberg reported that France, the UK, Belgium and Finland
agreed to buy about 158 million shots from London-based Glaxo and Baxter
International Inc.
According to the World Health Organization at the United Nations, production
of up to 4.9 billion doses of a swine flu vaccine a year would be possible.
"A 'pilot vaccine' is being developed under the supervision of the EU.
However, some conspiracy theories that are spreading just as fast as the
virus have already dismissed the hysteria over the virus as a malevolent
plot orchestrated by pharmaceutical companies in order to cash in on
people's fear. One in particular believes that the strain has been purposely
engineered so companies producing vaccines can cash in," *Russia

on May 1.
In February Baxter confirmed that it released contaminated flu virus
material from a plant in Austria. The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2
seasonal flu viruses and unlabeled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian
research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then
sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and
Germany, the *Toronto
Sun*<http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2009/02/27/8560781.html>reported.
Anne Laude, co-director of the Institute of Health at the Université Paris
Descartes, said "nobody would have the right, except in the case of a
medical counter-indication, to refuse a vaccination."
Last month the Obama administration announced it was considering whether to
trigger mass production of swine-flu vaccine, which could affect the bottom
lines of big vaccine makers as well as public health, according to the *Wall
Street Journal* <http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124165519213594121.html>.
Obama requested a $1.5 billion emergency appropriation to deal with swine
flu, including development of a vaccine.
The Obama fall vaccination program, according to the *Washington
Post*<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/05/AR2009050503378.html>,
would entail giving Americans three flu shots - one to combat annual
seasonal influenza and two targeted at the H1N1 flu virus. "If enacted, the
multibillion-dollar effort would represent the first time that top federal
health officials have asked Americans to get more than one flu vaccine in a
year, raising serious challenges concerning production, distribution and the
ability to track potentially severe side effects."
In 1976, following a small swine flu outbreak at the Fort Dix Army Base in
New Jersey, the federal government ordered a nationwide vaccination program.
"Mass vaccinations started in October, but within weeks reports started
coming in of people developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing nerve
disease, right after taking the shot. Within two months, 500 people were
affected, and more than 30 died. Amid a rising uproar and growing public
reluctance to risk the shot, federal officials abruptly canceled the program

Long*<http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/03/dayintech_0324>for
Wired.
"The vaccine manufacturers had anticipated the potential for serious side
effects from the vaccines they manufactured and had insisted on
indemnification by the federal government before releasing pandemic vaccine.
Harmed vaccinees and their families sued the federal government and
eventually received millions of dollars in damages. Sencer was let go as CDC
director. Many people faulted him for his dogged pursuit of universal
influenza vaccination," notes the *Suburban Emergency Management
Project*<http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=177>
.
During the swine flu hysteria earlier this year, the corporate media made
the case for mass vaccination. "Time Magazine's coverage of the swine flu
scare has a noticeable subplot - preparing Americans for draconian measures
to combat a future pandemic as well as forcing them to accept the idea of
mandatory vaccinations," wrote *Paul Joseph
Watson*<http://www.prisonplanet.com/time-magazine-preps-americans-for-mandatory-vaccinations.html>on
April 28. According to Time, the government "may soon have to consider
whether to institute draconian measures to combat the disease."
New Jersey was the first state to require flu shots for young
schoolchildren. "It was part of a new policy requiring a total of four
additional immunizations for schoolchildren over the objections of some
parents who worry about possible risks from vaccinations," the *New York
Times* <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/04/nyregion/new-jersey/04flunj.html>reported
on January 2, 2009. An advisory panel for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said that all children ages 6 months to 18 years
should receive an annual flu shot.
Hundreds of concerned parents participated in demonstrations outside the New
Jersey Statehouse on October 16, 2008, in protest of the State's decision to
mandate flu vaccinations for young children.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons considers mandatory
vaccines a violation of the medical ethic of informed consent
