The Crisis of Crises
by Gary GrahamNow it’s the swine flu. People are running in the streets, scared, screaming, in total panic. Oh, no, wait – sorry, that was downtown New York City the other day when the President’s Air Force One 747 buzzed Manhattan and set off a wave of urban terror amongst city-dwellers; who well remember the true calamity of that September morning seven-and-a-half years ago. But it was a beautiful day for a $328 thousand dollar photo-op for the President’s website. So New Yorkers should understand and be tolerant; even though the citizens on the ground weren’t alerted in advance of the stunt, not even Mayor Bloomberg.
Hey, stuff happens. Yes we can.
No, it’s the Swine Flu which is the new crisis-in-the-making and it’s quickly becoming the Crisis du Jour. Texas Governor Rick Perry declared ‘a Disaster’ in his state after a two-yr-old boy tragically died after returning from Mexico. Seems a bit of an overreaction, but maybe not. It’s shaping up to be a pandemic of epic proportions, for as of this writing, ninety-one cases of Swine Flu have already been diagnosed in this country. Ninety-one. At this rate, in a week, there may be, literally, several hundred outbreaks reported.
In a nation of 300 million.
To answer this new ‘crisis’, the CDC announced it is ‘standing ready to act’. They are ready to prepare new inoculation serums to combat the disease. And it will only take fourteen weeks to have the vaccines ready for distribution.
Fourteen weeks. Uh…say again? Three-and-a-half months?
Well, that’s a relief.
Okay. So I’ve got my surgical mask and Nyquil on standby. And since I’m an irascibly cynical curmudgeon shut-in, I’ll have no problem duct-taping my doors and windows and refusing to see daylight for three months. (“Just slide the pizza in under the door, dude!”) But I am morbidly curious to see how this will all shake out. And I’m wondering also if this will end up being like The Great Bird Flu Crisis of 2006. Remember that one? You don’t? Well, neither do I really, such a non-event it was. But the government stirred up such a panic, people were running around with surgical masks, weeping in the streets, flipping their birds and choking their chickens. All right, maybe they weren’t weeping in the streets… but they were doing all the rest. (I had pictures, but Breitbart stole them.)
But it was a crisis, and surely deserved the billions spent combating it. Didn’t it?
Now, in the midst of the current Economic Crisis…which is happening in the midst of the current Climate Change Crisis (hey, what happened to ‘Global Warming’? Did focus poll results teach them that people had developed Global Warming fatigue? Weenies.) …we have the Swine Flu Crisis. An impending pandemic in our midst. We must act/spend and we must act/spend now! Before it’s too late! (And you wake up and realize they’ve act/spent all your money.)
On a side note, I think it’s fairly remarkable that it took a bunch of sick pigs for anyone to seriously consider actually sealing our southern borders.
I’m just sayin’…
Another point of curiosity to me: I’m wondering how, in the religious culture that reviles anything to do with pork, this swine flu will impact the Muslim community, both here and abroad. Will a new fatwa be issued? Will Farmer John and Oscar Mayer be slated for jihad? (And while I’m toying with the ridiculous… Anyone know if the movie, “BABE” was banned in the Middle East?)
Just sayin’…
Any fan of history will remember that all instances of massive subjugation of a people had a strikingly consistent precursor: the Crisis. In the name of crisis, huge movements of central government control and power are instituted. The frightened and panicked masses willingly give up autonomy and individual freedom so that their leader will solve the crisis and keep them safe and secure.
The government, thinking that the masses are too stupid and uninformed to possibly understand how to care for themselves, wields that mighty power; backed by the military force, to set new laws, restrictions, and controls in place. Huge amounts of tax money are spent immediately, just to get everyone in up to their necks, committed to battling the new crisis. Troops are organized and mobilized to get the military into play, for the security of the communities, dontcha know. Civilian volunteer groups are organized and set into motion and empowered in this new crusade to save The People. (And by the way – ‘The People’ shakes down to meaning this: Everyone But You.) The accommodating, and state-controlled Media (You think ‘can’t happen here’? Just wait for the next ‘communication crisis’.) tout this move as ‘unprecedented but necessary’…and ‘heroic acts of self-sacrifice’…and the ‘noble fight for the people’…etc, etc, etc.
All that is required is a fawning adoration for a charismatic leader…a blind and naive willingness to be ‘taken care of’…and the popular or even tacit agreement that there is a Crisis of unprecedented magnitude that requires the government making big Changes.
Change we can believe in.
(Ryan Seacrest) – “Hello! And welcome to, NAME THAT WEEKLY CRISIS! On our show, each contestant hears the SSD (Societal Symptoms of Disaster) of the week, and when one of them hits the buzzer, they must…NAME THAT CRISIS! If they guess correctly they win hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ dollars and chance at the Lightning Round: The Run For Congress!!”
Raucous studio applause.
“If at the end of the Congressional Run, you can drive the Media Assistance Bus through the Focus-Group Polling Maze… your total score may enable you to scale Popularity Mountain where, if you climb the National Panic Meter and can come up with the Mystery Crisis To Break The Bank…you can possibly win the grand prize, GRAND EXALTED EMPEROR OF THE UNIVERSE! Plus an appearance on American Idol.”
Thunderous studio applause! …and…go to commercial.
Oh sure… You may be laughing now…but you won’t be laughing when Prez-O is up on that stage dancin’ and shakin’ it with Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
Now that’s a crisis.
It’s funny how the Left are shattered to mind-numbing stupor and trepidation over the economy, global warming, and the swine flu…but seem to be fairly complacent, if not irresponsibly myopic with regards to hundreds of millions of Islamofascist terrorists who openly denounce the United States as Satan, and commit daily to our destruction.
Ah, forget that noise — I’m gonna go get my swine flu shot.
In about three-and-a-half months.

Per usual Gary, you are spot-on with your assesment. And funny to boot. Well said, sir
Good column, excellent points. However there will be no sealing of the border; the Obama administration has announced that this 'wouldn't work'- the thought is that it's already here… short of an armed insurrection there will never be a sealing of our southern border.
It's against George Soros' wishes…
Gary—just make sure that pizza that is slid under the door: doesn't get sticky from duck tape contact, or has any ham on it.
I am just waiting to see the convoluted logic that blames the swine flu on Bush.
Are we sure that it wasn't American pigs, sold by American pig dealers to Mexican pig lords, that created the swine flu problem? Just saying. . .
Hey, What good is having a saviour if he isn't saviouring us?
We need TOTUS to tell us what to do in this our time of trial.
Why is it that I think that the Swine Flu crisis will be over as soon as the Senate passes 3.7 trillion dollar budget. Or will this crisis last so long that we will pass National Health care before this pandemic is over. I do not know but when was the last time we did not hear on a daily basis the word CRISIS, Crisis, and crisis.
The weather is changing oops Crisis. The economy is changing oh well it is time for a Crisis. It reminds me of the story of a boy that called Wolf to many times. We know how that one turned out.
tout this move as ‘unprecedented but necessary’
Ooo! Shiny good!
does anyone remember a sketch on SNL or Mad that was something like "Pollen Attack Crisis '00"
they were goofing on the media for hyping everything as a crisis.
i personally think this hype is the classic magician trick of distracting you from what the other hand is doing.
this is the "Keep-Janet-Napolitano-in-office-forget-about-the-deficit-Flu"
Never let a good crisis go to waste, right.
I'll be holding my panic for awhile on this one. The last time we had a swine flu scare, we rushed to get our kids and ourselves to the clinic to get our shots. Like most scares, it fizzled. But within a few short weeks, everyone was informed that there was an outbreak of Guillain-Barre syndrome caused by something in the swine flu vaccine. Statistically, the cure was indeed worse than the possibility of catching the disease. I'll wait a little longer to see how this plays out. Maybe about the time we have a Secretary of Health and Human Services, or a Surgeon General, or maybe even a Director of the Centers for Disease Control. Getting my info from Homeland Security ain't cuttin' it.
Nice discovery of a new verb: saviouring. +1 for you!
It's a pig man, Jerry! Kramer was right all along.
Andrew, I think you’re on to something here.
I remember reading lately the over 90.367% of ALL pigs sold to the Mexican drug cartels came from the U.S. border states.
The 78.982% of piglets from those sales, are now contaminating the Mexico water system with devastating results.
I fear for the safety of all swine…including our very own troll population.
Pity really.
Not Over.
While your joke about Muslim countries reacting to Swine Flu may seem funny to some readers, to me it was rather disturbing. This is because I read in the Metro two days ago (a Toronto Newspaper) that Israel and several Muslim countries have denounced the name "Swine Flu", saying it is offensive to those who do not eat pork. So…it's actually happened already.
You guys worry about this. Hawks don't get swine flu. We get the other kind.
I've been trying and I give up. Best i can do is link it to Gore by way of ManBearPig
Disturbing? really? frigging disturbing? Disturbing is seeing the Constitution being usurp by a bunch of loons, now that is disturbing, not some friggin joke.
I give it 'til tonight at the latest.
Three and a half months to get a vaccine is about right. That's why the routine flu shots can be hit or miss, because somebody does a guessing game as to which bugs will be "the" bugs.
They'll have to grow this stuff in some chick embryos, then masticate them all up, extract the viruses, kill them, purify the stuff, and ship it out to your doc. Takes time, boys and girls. And there are very few folks doing vaccines, they're really cheap and without profit, and you get sued constantly. Sorry, Lawhawk.
Easy way? Teach the kids at home, limit being around other people, (and that sure as hell means the doctor's office or clinic; if people are sick with this, where will they go? TO THE DOCTOR!), and be a homebody where you can for a couple weeks. Wash your hands a lot, and don't touch your face much. Avoid sick people, but don't be a prig about it, they may just have a cold. Don't hang out with those guys in front of the Home Depot, or the medicaid office, or the Social Security building. If you're either very young, very old, or immunocompromised, stay away from EVERYBODY you possibly can. If you really have a flu, not a cold or allergies, the medications help lots if started real early, call the doctor first, don't just show up. Hopey can't really help you; you'll have to do for yourself. Hell you might even like it enough to keep doing it.
When they first started talking about this swine flu outbreak, all I could think of was that swine flu shot I had back in the 70's. I doubt it will be any good for this most recent crisis, eh?
That's an awesome posting – am wondering what the crisis will be that will give the government the excuse to institute martial law and suspend the constitution. Oh wait, they're not using the constitution anyway. Never mind.
Obama's flapping his gums on tv tonight. I think I'll just throw in my DVD of "The Stand" instead.
I love The Stand – when that first aired, I was very sick with the flu, so I could relate.
I'm being super cereal here, Buckwheat!
Gopher flu? I don't get it.
Not Over.
For a bit of perspective – 100 people die in America (on average) of the old run of the mill flu every day.
Yeh, think of that.
Maybe if the news reported that little fact IN THAT WAY people would untie they knotted up panties they have removed from their hinterlands and are now wearing across their mouth and nose.
To be technical about it, the flu actually is a combo of human, pig, and bird strains. Clearly, we should be rounding up birds and killing them. Of course, any birds that are vets are likely to also be terrorists, so we need to especially catch those particular birds.
Gary, don't get your panties in a bunch about nothing. All we have to do is change the name. Our war on terror is an "overseas contingency operation". Terrorism is a "man-created disaster." We just have to come up with a catchy phrase and this crisis will be history once it serves its purpose.. After all, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." (Rahm Emanuel)
The best thing about the Big Mocha's TV appearance tonight is that it will cost the networks over 21 million in revenue. Dopes.
Your wish m'lady, my command, here ➪ http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/...
You're welcome.
Not Over.
LOL
So…like Gary Graham, you're unmoved by death? It's all a "numbers game" to you? If (as you say) 100 people die in America of the "old run of the mill" flu each day (links to verifiable sources, please), then you're totally OK with raising that number, if only by 1 – or less – per day as a result of this new Mexican flu???
I don't know what Kool-Aid you're drinking, but I'm pretty sure you'd put the glass down if you or someone you love were suddenly broad-sided by a 103+ degree fever and the other effects of the, as you put it, "old run of the mill flu"…much less something as virulent as this new(est) strain.
Woo-hoo! (Or, maybe I should say, "Woo-WHO!") Death is pretty damn funny, right?…unless it's YOUR death.
But, you're right. No time to panic. But, also, no time to be…what's the phrase?…oh, yeah, f-in' STUPID.
"BIG MOCHA!!!"
*falls out of chair laughing*
come on y'all. the real reason obama is standing at the ready is that he doesn't want to lose any actual taxpayers who lay his golden eggs. that would be the real crisis.
He can make up for it with the death tax.
I understand the MSM's need to hype a story to boost circulation or advertising dollars. But why treat every outbreak as a chance to rewrite "Mask of the Red Death"? I suspect this will pan out like the much hyped West Nile virus. A few years ago West Nile was sweeping across the southern states. It was deadly to crows and horses and would supposedly cause many deaths. It turns out the only reported cases were from those who went to ER's for treatment. Some testing here in Cali showed that after the fact there were hundreds ( maybe thousands) of cases that went unreported as the symptoms were mild enough that the people were sick for a day or two and got better. Much like the vast majority of us who don't go running for the ER every time we show flu symptoms.
The more important question is: Can I still listen to Pink Floyd?
Well, attribute to me whatever emotion you would like. But by your "logic" we should issue states of emergency for every last thing a person can die from. I called for perspective. I see that fell on deaf ears. Angry deaf ears.
Go to the CDC for flu stats.
You mean bird made tragedy makers? Please get your terms current. Keep up man!
Thank you. Made it up myself.
Porcinectomy is the only answer. Start with snouted ones and then move on to the more hated fat arsed ones. Flu and global warming solved. Hey, yo. I could be zee president!
Well put – and 3 1/2 months is a conservative estimate for development of a safe vaccine. See 1976 when a vaccine was rushed and caused deaths from neurological reactions – (Gerald Ford was president, by the way.)
All the hyperbole coming from the media, and that includes MSNBC, CNN, FOX and your local newspaper, is only a bid for ratings, and should be viewed as such. What worked in the time of Clara Barton as good infection control still works today – wash your hands, people! Soap and water kills it.
It looks like this virus kills healthy adults because their immune systems, being strong, react powerfully to inflammation. The flu isn't killing people – it's the immune response that floods the lungs and causes pneumonia. Why it's only killing south of the border is a mystery so far, but it bears close watching. And I'm glad somebody is on the case – WHO, the US government, I don't care.
Tom Tom Tom… Summer is coming. Make way for the dreaded killer shark.
What I would really like to know is if there were any big campaign contributors on that fly by of New York on Air Force One? Was it payback for campaign cash? Free flight on Air force one with sightseeing over New York? Why hasn't anyone asking the Obama drones this question?
And it's got Gary Sinise. :p
*MissQuinn*
It's not an original thought but this is a perfect excuse to nationalize healthcare and put government bureaucrats in charge ASAP. Mr. Obama, what the holdup? Let's get on with it…
Well, I find it disturbing that someone would be offended by something like that.
OMG savioring! That is AWESOME! Can I use that?
Hmmmmm its funny, how come the cases here in the USA, with the exception of the baby in Houston who died, are less severe?
Anyway I don't find it a crisis. I don't like seeing people running around freaking out. Anyone notice how the moment someone screams SWINE FLU there is a soccer Mom somewhere freaking out and screaming NOT MY KIDS. Notice, that then the show suddenly becomes the freaked out panic striken psychopath soccer Mom show..and has nothing to even do with her kids. I saw a couple of women doing that today…
Great post, Gary.
The Chicken Little industry will never run out of customers.
Great argument, if you're a moron. The point wasn't that any death isn't anything important to worry about, it's about perspective on the scale of the crisis. Which at this point is completely overblown by the media.
Here’s your link knucklehead…from the far right wing of the Republican Party…oops sorry my mistake…it’s from your favorite news source, CNN. ➪ http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/28/regular.flu/...
Lets see now, 36,000 people a year, divided by 365 days comes to = 98.630137 per day just like Shannan said. Got it! Don’t start panicking yet, like most libs just love to do to spread their fear to the rest of us.
Now, say your sorry to Gary, and the rest of us, and go sit in the corner for 10 minutes for being a leaping libtard.
No turning around either. GO!
Not Over.
And, just one more “post script” piece of advice knucklehead…in your future, don’t EVER bring a liberal knife of BS, to a conservative gun fight of facts again…you’ll always get your a$$ kicked. Booo!
Not Over.
We’ve definitely lost our balls as a country, a bunch of little weakling ninnies running from our own shadows. By the way Homeland Security stopped by my house tonight and tucked us into bed making certain we were okay, and as they left stated, “sleep well citizens, your Barry loves you!” It was only 6:45, but they thought it was for the best, and we’re killing two birds with one stone, you know Global Warming and the flu and all! I’m finally proud of my mommy, I mean country. : )
Kind of an O/T post. Has anyone noticed that the smelly, green skinned, wet footed, foul mouthed, despicable, fuzzy creatures that live under the bridge are more frequent in numbers as of late. I wonder why? Fear, I believe, brings them out of the hiding places is all I can think of.
Not over.
I watched "The Birdman of Alcatraz" on TCM and "The Punisher", the first one with Thomas Jayne.
I had Hopey's Cliff's in my head before he even came on. I didn't watch the speech, and I put on the late news when it came on.
About 84% just on guessing. If I hear one more thing about patience on this rescue plan, I swear…its been what, six months with Bush 1 and this other package now? They should have had us not send taxes for a year, we'd have done way better.
You ruined one of my favorite movies with your handle, shrinky-dink. I worked in the medical dodge, and have been front line FEBA while you were hiding under your Mommie's skirt over the boogie-man. You need an enema and a ten mile hike.
People die, turd. All the time. EVERYONE. Even Jesus. He's the only guy (so far) who has pulled off the second part. And with few exceptions, everyone shoves off in brutally messy ways. Don't you DARE to lecture ANYONE! We do science to figure out why, and its all bald numbers, turd. The working adults at CDC, WHO, and AMRIID work numbers constantly, and the only people running around whining about the sky falling, is, well, you, turd. Respiratory Synctial Virus and Influenza account for 36, 000 US and 250,00 to 500,000 worldwide yearly. Madagascar 2002 had 800 deaths and 27,000 severe infections, even with an extremely rapid response.
Ready for the surprise, turd? US losses from traffic? 37,248. (FARS, 2007, latest data available), so why aren't you wetting your potty pants over that, turd?
Get your hysterical a$$ out of here, turd, the adults are talking. Beat it.
The last swine flu epidemic happened in the first year of Carter, I believe (it might have been the last of Ford). And one whole person died from it. Hundred died from the vaccines, as you pointed out.
In any case, more people died in car accidents today than will die from the swine flu this entire year. That's why we must spend billions on swine flu.
But my brother-in-law told me a joke today which is appropriate here. They told us we'd have a black president when pigs fly. 100 days in, swine flu.
They're all just looking to try to score imaginary points off the mean righties.
That Tea Party business must have scared the SHI* out of them.
Good.
SO "Not Over".
StanH, if you start crying big oily tears and start saying, "you love Big Brother"…
I don't know you, but you write brilliantly and concisely.
And you place the rapier with precision, as well.
Bravo!
Reminds me of when I read "The Coming Plague." The thing I kept returning to is, We're freaking out over ebola, hanta virus, swine flu, marburg, Lymes, etc. and yet all these outbreaks have killed at most a few hundred people, and usually only a dozen or so?! Almost all outbreaks occur in medical facilities–for instance, ebola that was injected into people because of reusing syringes caused an outbreak to explode in Zaire, and injected ebola had a 95% mortality rate while getting it naturally had only a 50% mortality rate (if I recall the numbers correctly).
Sure, it would suck to get it; but put it in perspective. Very few people ever will get it. You're much more likely in America to die of heart disease than swine flu. Yet we'll wear a mask instead of cutting back on cigarettes and Big Macs.
So, we gonna have to come up for something equally obtuse for "avian" versions?
This manure is like DHS calling 'terrorist attacks" "man made disasters" now.
It is high time to tell the "porcine challenged" to get the F##K over it!
And more than likely why they're pounding this drum to death…
Dunno. Was Pink Floyd on the Queen's Ipod as an Oficially Hopey okey-dokeyed donkey dope beat?
Damn. I sprained my tongue..
Oh, brilliant…
"Since you were already shot, it makes absolutely no sense to protect you from being shot many more times…"
Does this look like a Monty Python sketch to you too, folks?
Yes, I think your right. I’ve had that same impression, (conservatives suddenly standing shoulder to shoulder in defiance of their new “masters” and such). Instead of shrugging it off and going about their business. I just needed to hear it from someone else and not a lot of “little voices inside my head” if you know what I mean, Heh.
We’ve been quiet long enough, and now we’re paying the price for our silence. But, not anymore, at least for me, I’ve turned into a “in your face, right wing radical extremist” almost overnight. Thanks Bambi, Hi Janet, sit down Eric.
Indeed, Not Over.
Yes. I am afraid that it is a proven fact that 90 percent of the Assualt Pigs involved were imported from the United States. I have, today, introduced legislation to ban all Assault Pigs. I have undertaken action to add Future Farmers of America and the subversive 4H Club to the list of right wing extemeist organizations that this administration will monitor for activity in this arena. I can further report that, without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, 'I have a gift, Harry

well, maybe a little.
You will come with us, comrade. No, do not pack a bag.
Stopped by the favorite watering hole tonight. Talked to an elderly retired aquaintance of mine(16 years). Didn't even mention the Messiah……reply was a curt
"He's only been in office 3 months…I don't wanna talk politics, Patrick."
heh, heh, heh………..
It's starting
You see, High Plains Duncehead is SO worried some little bug he can't even see is going to ruin his perpetual party at taxpayer expense that he'll wash his entire life down with bleach solution.
Its so simple. Take a few precautions, and the pandemic burns itself out in two weeks, because a bug needs victims to attack. Deny it, and it self limits. Easy peasy. HIV would have been a footnote in history if certain groups would refrain from certain behaviors.
If everyone would take a little time to understand WHY Third World undeveloped and underdeveloped country's always seem to be the ones with nasty diseases popping out all the time, we wouldn't be so freaked out when they do.
A lot of this came out of my biological WMD training, which is a hysterical thing in itself. Bio WMD's are so impractical as to be a joke.
Don't you mean the "Venti Half-caf Mocha?"
(snicker!)
An excellent question…which means it will never be asked.
However, I intend to use your excellent question as a stick on the trolls. Thank You.
Kinda like when Meryl Streep applied her most excellent biochemistry skills to ALAR?
Some of these people are gonna panic themselves into something…
Thanks. I'm shooting for a forty-two in a single reply. After all, it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

No, they're already blaming Republicans for having cut the pork related to the Avian Flu research out of the Porkulus bill. Nevermind that it wouldn't possibly have done us any good had this turned out to have been a lethal pandemic.
yes. No reason to preserve and protect. You're dead already…
Remind which party uses the politics of fear again …
I'll admit to concern about this because of the age of the initial victims out of Mexico. People who are in the 20-40 age range are not the normal victims of the flu. Usually, the flu kills the elderly, the young, the immuno-compromised. When it kills people in the prime of life, it's an indication that it's a totally new virus that provokes a healthy immune system into a killing response. That's what made the 1918 Flu so deadly. Obviously now this version is just a nasty flu and not the deadly killer it appeared it might be at first. Hopefully, it doesn't go dormant and mutate into the deadly killer that 1918 Flu was (1918 Flu did this, appear first as a mild world-wide outbreak and then re-emerge later on as the muchmore deadly pandemic flu). *shrug* what will be will be. Yellowstone might blow up next year too, or California might suffer the big one.
And apparently, Sen. Liberman agrees with me, too. Now, THAT'S SCARY!!
and let us not forget the di-hydrogen-oxide scare…
Just read yesterday's report that the government of Egypt had ordered the slaughter of all pigs in that country. Of course all the pig farmers went balistic and attacked the government vehicals leaving Cairo to fullfill said "Fatwa" with stones and bricks.
While the MSM and Obama were in "Crisis Mode" about Swine Flu season – guess what our Congress was doing?
The Hate Crimes Prevention Act (H.R. 1913) was passed through Congress. This now goes before the Senate, I guess they are hoping to distract us with Swine flu epidemics. It is a direct violation of our right to all be given equal protection under the law.
This is also a direct threat to the 10th Amendment – which delegates most of law enforcement to the states. It also gives this so called Protected Class the legal right to make charges against you if they feel threatened by your words (opinions)
Some of the provisions contained in HR 1913 include:
· Federalization of crimes that already are being effectively prosecuted by our States and local governments.
· Blurring the line between violent belief, which is constitutionally protected, and violent action, which is not.
Email, Call or Contact as many Senators as possible and demand that they vote NO on this Unconstitutional bill.

Thank you for pointing out the Guillain-Barre Syndrome link! As a GBS survivor, I have a more than healthy scepticism when it comes to any vaccines. Thanks to GBS, my children and I are in a high-risk group due to neurological and immunological issues. Yes, I will pass on whatever vaccine they come out with, thank you very much.
Sorry to hear about your problem. A friend of mine developed the syndrome from the vaccine, but it appeared to have gone away over the years. Then he had a stroke, and the damage done neurologically appeared again after twenty-five years making the effects of the stroke far worse. That was the first time I realized that it could go dormant, but never entirely disappears. There are so many vaccines for so many diseases that have had years of testing and minimal bad results for millions of those immunized. I'm just very suspicious of "rush" vaccines where the risk of harm is nearly unknown in relation to its alleged life-saving capabilities in an epidemic of unknown potential severity.
