Considering they are closest to the majority of the outbreak of this.
I think it should be their choice to wear one if they want.

In 1976 or whenever the last outbreak occured, the only deaths recorded were those who were innoculated..... now they are pushing for tax payers to fund a widespread, government approved, innoculation program.....

What is the real story here? Distraction? Population thinning? You tell me!

Seems funny this comes on the heels of the "torture" investigation and possible procecution of policy personel. huh

the government should never be anonymous. we are humans. wearing masks only makes people more violent and afraid.

the 76 out break was not the same virus


1. Hasn't swine flu been around for a while?

Yes. Swine flu was first identified in 1930 when researchers isolated the virus in a pig. In 1976, more than 200 soldiers at Fort Dix,

......................

8. Wasn't there a vaccine at one time? Is there one now?

Yes, a swine flu vaccine was given to 45 million people in 1976. There is no vaccine now, although researchers are working on one.

The 1976 vaccine wouldn't be helpful anyway, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy & Infectious Diseases.

"That was a completely different virus than the virus we are dealing with right now, completely different in the sense that the genes are different, and it doesn't have any relationship," said Fauci. "The designation of each one was called the swine flu, but from a viral standpoint and spreading it is quite, quite different.

Border agents not allowed to wear masks


They are the government. Considering that they do not subject themselves to the constitution anymore, we can then deduct that they are not "of the people".

If that is the case, then who cares?
