    Maybe it didn't happen BECAUSE of the flu vaccinations.

    It's the "cry wolf" phenomena and scientists constantly warn of it. They predict disaster unless we do X but when we do X and there is no disaster then instead of getting credit they are accused of crying wolf.

    The flu of 1918 killed more people than the then extant WWI and the Black Death...one time or another a flu just as deadly WILL be back, epidemiologists think that is a certainty. Will the cons be telling us it's all a government plot when we're once again running out of room to bury people?

    A paranoid conspiracy theory blog.

    Conservatives get their flu shots too. The only couple I ever met who didn't get their kid all his shots were very liberal until they discovered they weren't going to be able to send the kid to school and mom didn't want to spend the next 12 years stuck in the house homeschooling the child.

    Okay, so what's with labeling anti-vaccination paranoia as conservative?

    1- you mention the paranoid blog as conservative (hey it could be but after a few paragraphs of demented paranoid ravings I left, a blog labeling itself "anti-state","anti=war" doesn't seem conservative to me either)
    2- another poster up thread implied cons were all for not getting vaccinated.

    So, stop being so defensive and add to the conversation.

    I myself couldn't even decipher what the heck the scam was supposed to be but I didn't' read the whole thing as it'd be like standing around to listen to some guy standing on a milk-crate wrapped in garbage bags yelling in a public street.

    The blog is written by Lew Rockwell, who claims to be a "paleoconservative".

    Not my post, not my problem.

    I asked the OP to provide some background beyond his original link
