Our flu shot wouldn't work on the American flu. Ours is for Canadian flu.
Just like Canadian beer is different from American beer.
Interesting how by law our paramedics have to get the flu because of their close contact with people and the hospitals yet it isn't mandatory (I believe) for health workers.
Most doctors (I believe) don't get the shot and have continual contact with the sick public. The one's that do get the shot do not recommend getting it every year.
Yet the public is expected to get it every year, even when it is a crap shoot if the shot is formulated for the right strain.
Last year is was NOT! Millions took a useless cocktail of ingredients and Thimersol.
Many years ago, vaccine producers refused to produce product because of liability - they relented when the US government absolved them a any liability due to "acceptable risk" side effects. The government now has liability.
These people blindly crossing the border for a shot will be the first to the slaughter and will go willingly. That is good. It may give the rest of us some leeway for a short time.
"World population will have to adjust to lesser food supplies by a reduction in population. Pimentel and Pimentel (1996) stated: "the nations of the world must develop a plan to reduce the global population from near 6 billion to about 2 billion.
If humans do not control their numbers, nature will." Because stopping and then turning around the freight train of population growth can only be done gradually, this is a project that should be started now (Cohen 1995). If it is not done famine is likely to ensure."

"But when the above scenario seems inevitable, the elites will simply depopulate most of the planet with bioweapons. When the time comes, it will be the only logical solution to their problem.
It's a first-strike tactic that leaves built-in infrastructure and other species in place and allows the elites to perpetuate their own genes into the foreseeable future."
