- Congressman Ron Paul M.D.

Despite declaring national emergency in response to H1N1 outbreak, President refuses to allow his own children to be inoculated with controversial shot

Congressman Ron Paul has questioned why, despite his efforts to encourage the general public to get vaccinated against the H1N1 virus, President Barack Obama has refused to allow his own daughters to take the swine flu shot.

Despite the fact that Obama on Friday declared a national emergency in response to the H1N1 outbreak, he apparently doesn’t deem it enough of a threat to have his two daughters vaccinated against the virus.

Such double standards have led media pundits to call for Obama to get his daughters vaccinated on live television, in an effort to encourage American parents to do the same for their kids. The swine flu vaccination program, which was initially intended to be a “mass” inoculation covering the entire population, has been rejected by a majority of Americans who harbor deep suspicions about dangerous additives contained in the vaccine such as mercury and squalene.

In a Campaign For Liberty video message, former Presidential candidate Ron Paul labeled the vaccination program a “failure,” and slammed Obama for failing to follow the same advice he gave to the nation.

“It’s interesting to note that the President’s children have not gotten their shots and the explanation for this is it hasn’t been available to them – now that’s a little bit hard to buy when you think that probably anything the President wants can be available for their children,” said Paul, adding, “So in a way he’s made his decision not to give his children these inoculations – so if he has freedom of choice on this, I would like to make sure that all the American people have the same amount of freedom of choice.”

Ron Paul pretty much sums up what I would have to say.

Start watching around the 2 minute mark:

Drinkingwithbob, the YouTube user who made this video is a great resource for political insight. He makes all of his videos in this same rant-like, almost comic, format. But if you look at any of his recent videos, what he says makes perfect sense.

Think about this. In extreme cases, China regulates how many children you can have and Cuba regulates travel. What will America regulate?

But Frank also says the Republicans messed everything up. However, I don’t buy into the two party system. Both parties are incompetent and corrupt. Both are filled with so-called “career politicians” that have been involved in politics their whole life and therefore don’t know how the economy functions in reality, not just on paper.

The regulations are what got us into this mess. If we had let the free market work itself, we would have been in great shape. But instead we regulate anything and everything.
