CDC: U.S. may need 600 million swine flu vaccine doses

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
115 million doses of seasonal flu are distributed annually in U.S.
Most vaccine production involves traditional route of growing virus in eggs
New technologies, such as using caterpillar cells, are getting attention
1976 swine flu vaccine program ended because some people became paralyzed

(CNN) -- Questions abound about how to best inoculate the world against swine flu as health officials plan for a campaign that could dwarf any previous flu vaccination effort.

I read that too and posted it in another post regarding swine flu. This article is implying forced vaccinations IMHO. I have also read elsewhere about these mass graves being dug probably old news but could the 2 be inter-related? All I know is this has me a bit on the panicked side. Luckily for me I got some anti-anxiety pills that help. If this is all true and all, I do not think the american public is going to stand for this. I know for me I will wait and see what happens to others before I make any decision on getting the shot.
