Nat'l Security Is it possible to get our legislators to ban the flu?

18 children have already died this season where is our call to action?

How many of those children's deaths could have been prevented if we made it a felony to not get a flu shot? And that doesn't even begin to cover the economic benefit compelled vaccination would provide in fewer lost sick days and lower health care costs.

So what do you think, make it a felony to not get a flu shot?

(yes this is meant to be satirical, but I hope it makes you think too. There are many lives that we could save if only we were willing to compel action of our citizen through threat of imprisonment. But will still value our freedom to choose for ourselves our fate..well for now....)
