Over the weekend, Obama declared the swine flu a national health emergency, and this now allows the government to do an end-run around regulations and testing procedures to get the experimental vaccines out to the public.

The national emergency declaration was the second of two steps needed to give Sebelius (Health and Human Services Secretary) extraordinary powers during a crisis.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we found out that the first daughters were NOT immunized with the experimental vaccine. Ron Paul (a doctor himself and a member of the House of Representatives) had some things to say about this:

There is considerable concern about the safety of the experimental vaccine as well. In a recent ABC poll, 30% thought it wasn’t safe, 65% of adults are not planning to have it and nearly 40% plan not to give it to their children.

And there may be something to their fears. Apparently, there have been deaths in Europe linked to the experimental vaccine.

As European governments forge ahead with mass swine flu vaccination programs, reports out of Hungary and Sweden suggest that some people have died shortly after taking the H1N1 vaccine.

A recent poll in China shows nearly half of all respondents don’t want the vaccine either.

More than half of all Chinese do not plan to be vaccinated against swine flu because they are unsure about the safety of the shot, according to a survey by state media published Monday.

Here in America, the declaration of this as a crisis will be another way the Obama administration will exert its power. Remember Rahm Emmanuel (adviser to Obama) and his statement about never letting a good crisis go to waste?

Well, it appears that the Dept of Homeland Security may use this crisis to regulate the web and the flow of information.

The government is being encouraged to prepare to block websites and Internet traffic in the event of a worsening swine flu pandemic that results in network congestion, a move that represents a potential end run around the agenda to regulate the world wide web.

The anti-Obama and anti-big-government websites would probably be the first to go…
