The Pandemic Response Bill 2028 is  shocking.

It has not been passed yet by the Massachusetts state legislature but it is being considered.

Here are some of its provisions.  Citizens may  be forced to receive vaccinations whether they want to be vaccinated or not.

(Many people who remember the last Swine Flu vaccination fiasco back in the ’70′s have decided to pass for good reasons.)

Citizens who don’t cooperate could be fined or even jailed, in some cases.

Emergency personal can quarantine the sick and enter buildings and homes, essentially taking possession of private property.

At this moment, there is a lot of talk about the Swine Flu.

The public is being told to expect many deaths and cases.

However, reason should always prevail in these types of situations.  No one, especially those of us with aging parents, needs to panic.

None of the dire warnings have materialized so far.  There have been small outbreaks, such as the one at Auburn University now where my nephew attends, but classes continue.  After all, parents have spend a lot of money to send their kids there.  Closing up these schools will be expensive at the least.

Here’s a personal story that illustrates my observations about all of this.

My grandfather died on Christmas Day, 1974 from the flu.

Ironically, it was also his 84th birthday.

He had lived through the 1918 flu epidemic without succumbing to  that strain, only to die of another strain decades later.

It happens all the time.

I’m not being cavalier about it.  Those are the facts. 

But do we need to deny personal civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution to the sick, or those who haven’t even become sick yet?
