I got a tetanus/whooping cough booster, and an H1N1 jab. I assume mercury will begin pouring out of my nose at any time now

2. Tut tut
This will enable the NWO to forcibly vaccinate everyone and to persuade President Obama to declare *marshal* law.

Also, Baxter or Merck or somebody probably created a new and deadly virus to insert into the vaccine and cause you to go into spontaneous combustion!

3. That arm soreness from the tetanus booster you will feel
is actually a giant ball of mercury.

7. Well, I'm still alive and kicking, after inoculation by...
Egyptian military/government nurses. Several times.

Yes, they were female. They were presumably Muslim, though I didn't ask. They were chatty with good bedside manners, for lack of a better term. And all displayed a good sense of humor, laughing when I pretended to go into a seizure after the shots/blood tests/whatever.

Big Pharma is clearly screwing up its incursion into the Third World. Here in One Nation Under Jesus, when my HMO prescribed the antibiotic Cipro, the local Sav-On pharmacy tried to charge me $150. Because it was an "outside referral."

In Egypt, I could walk into any storefront pharmacy and buy a large economy-sized pack of Cipro for less than $10 American. Taking Cipro indiscriminately is NOT a good idea, as any of our Resident Grump Nurses can explain. Total Disclosure - I put myself under the care of an Egyptian doctor who monitored everything. And made house calls to my apartment!

When I got sick on vacation in Italy, the local Evil Socialized Medicine pharmacy charged me less than $20 for a whole bunch of Tummy Medicine. As I had colorfully thrown up on their doorstep, frightening several Italian Moms/tots, they seemed to be mostly concerned with curing me. And those people didn't know me from...uh...Fictional First Man. It was probably the raw shellfish I insisted on eating...

A co-worker in Egypt went on vacation in Germany. He tends to be a conservative...or did, until his back went out in Frankfurt. A hospital visit, specialist consultation, and prescriptions cost him about $80 American. Now he's dangerously close to being a liberal on that evil SOCIALIZED health care.

:rofl:

8. Isn't it amazing how that works?
Evil socialized health care is only bad until one actually needs it....;)
