Smokers should get pneumonia vaccine: U.S. advisers

Friday, Oct 24, 2008
Smokers should be vaccinated against a pneumonia-causing germ, along with children and the elderly, U.S. federal advisers recommended on Wednesday.
If accepted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it would be the first vaccine recommendation aimed specifically at smokers.
The vaccines, called pneumococcal vaccines, prevent infection with several strains of Streptococcus pneumonia, a bacteria that causes pneumonia, meningitis and other severe infections. They are routinely given to the elderly and to small children, but not to healthy young adults.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, meeting in Atlanta, had been asked to discuss whether the shot might benefit smokers, who have a higher risk of lung and respiratory infection in general.
“The ACIP voted to recommend smokers aged 19 through 64 years of age should be vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine. The committee also recommended smokers who receive pneumococcal vaccine also undergo stop smoking counseling,” CDC spokesman Curtis Allen said by e-mail.
“This is the first time the ACIP has recommended a vaccine specifically for smokers.”

I think it’s funny that a HUGE amount of tax money comes in from tobacco for the government and now they’re trying to get us to quit? I live in Michigan and here, over half the cost of the pack goes to taxes. If this were colonial times we’d be throwing cartons into Lake Huron! But intsead, we’re all to busy with our cold comfort and laziness to actually think about the implications of actions taken by those who have a say in how our contry is run. Implicatons by those who control 60% of our money. Screw it, i’m gonna have a cig. Maybe if I think hard enough about freedom they’ll go away.

I agree…when I get really frustrated and think well if the chemtrails don’t getcha, the chlorine and flouride and mercury in your teeth and the diminished immune function from drugs that you were forced to be given as a child, and the GMO food, aspartame, phosphates and MSG in all commercial food (NOT from a health food store)…then why am I fighting all this stress and quitting smoking right now? It is like twice the stress to see all this insanity and quit smoking…so maybe it will be a convenient little thing in the shot…hmmmm…if I wanted to KILL MYSELF I would get their shot…but that is not what I want to do…

They just want to inject everybody with their cancer-causing bioweapons crap. There is no law on compulsory vaccination. And even if they pass such a new law, it is simply illegal. If the state declares war on you, you have every right and duty to defend yourself and your fellow people. Don’t let them kill you.
Never turn in your guns. You might need them in the future just to be able to defend yourself. I suggest every gun owner should buy an additional stock of 3-20 cheap, sturdy surplus rifles like the SKS, the Mosin Nagant and Springfield 1903 along with huge amounts of the corresponding ammo. Then bury them securely somewhere deep in the woods.

I smoked for 14 years and to this day i get less colds than anyone in my family. They can take their BS and peddle it somewhere else.

I quit smoking 6 1/2 years ago, and am glad I quit. On the other hand, I wouldn’t take this vaccine even if I still were smoking. I don’t think it will help anything, or anybody, except for the people selling it. To anyone who is still smoking cigarettes, my advice is to quit: the people in power are using your addiction as an excuse to push you around — and they’re making wads of money selling you the cigarettes, too.

Don’t do it!! they are trying to kill you!!

Yeah…. and get a mycoplasma infection. No thanks…

Funny…my 95 year old grandmother who has smoked over a pack a day since she was 14 was complaining about living too long. Funny how lung cancer rates have gone up in young women even though less young women smoke now. Funny how the goverment is so concerned about my safety….so concerned that they want me to stop smoking for my own good. No thanks….I will keep the nice tar filter in my lungs while they are spraying chemtrails over my house daily.

When I took anatomy and physiology, the instructor (who is also an instructor for the CDC) stated there are viral organisms in the tobacco. I have noticed what appears to be the govts M.O. pattern over and over again.
What they appear to do is, just as with the food, they already contain one part of the viral agents in the food, tobacco, whatever you ingest…THEN…they add the other type or part of virus via vaccines in order to complete their heinous experimentation of constructing deadly virii within our body.
It appears they are doing in vivo (occurring or made to occur within a living organism or natural setting i.e. within the body) virus growing in order to cull the herd.

I quit smoking and am getting into shape, so dodging their bullets. Look foward to seeing the time when those who force these things upon others are required to do the same.
October 27th, 2008 at 7:10 am
And let me guess who gets a payback from Merck or whoever makes these drugs…
Those that recommended getting the vaccine?

I think they want smokers to quit because smoking believe it or not helps fight off diffrent flus. way back many moons ago I read that a flu had caused a lot of people to die, and the only people it did not affect were smokers,!!!! I do wish I can say more but I forget where I read it, it was a while ago if I find it I will post same.
