Farrakhan suspicious of H1N1 vaccine
MEMPHIS, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan told an audience in Memphis he believes the H1N1 flu vaccine was developed to kill people, a witness said.
Farrakhan, 76, spoke for nearly three hours Sunday at a gathering to observe the religious group's Holy Day of Atonement, which also marked the 14th anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington, the (Memphis) Commercial Appeal reported, citing a source who attended the speech.
"The Earth can't take 6.5 billion people. We just can't feed that many. So what are you going to do? Kill as many as you can. We have to develop a science that kills them and makes it look as though they died from some disease," Farrakhan said, adding that many wise people won't take the vaccine.
"The black community has become toxic and must cleanse and restore peace from within," Farrakhan said.
Farrakhan told listeners not to become complacent as a result of Barack Obama's election as the United States' first black president, the newspaper said.
"You have to understand that he was voted in to take on the affairs of a nation, not yours and mine. He is the American president, not the black president," he said.

This is coming from a Nation of Islam minister. Is THIS what Islam teaches?

Heard on our local News last night, from a Dr. they were interviewing, this is a young person's flu. He said if your over the age of 50, there is little chance you'd lose your life from it.
Rush and Farrakhan are over 50, aren't they?
No, it's not what Islam teaches, it's what Farrakhan preaches. There's a difference just as is the case for leaders in Christianity. For many years, Ian Paisley preached a message of intolerance and hatred for Irish Catholics. Didn't mean all that Protestant Christians agreed with him or even that he represented mainstream Protestantism.
But there are reasons to be skeptical about both the H1N1 vaccine and the seasonal flu vaccine as well:
"Whether this season’s swine flu turns out to be deadly or mild, most experts agree that it’s only a matter of time before we’re hit by a truly devastating flu pandemic—one that might kill more people worldwide than have died of the plague and aids combined. In the U.S., the main lines of defense are pharmaceutical—vaccines and antiviral drugs to limit the spread of flu and prevent people from dying from it. Yet now some flu experts are challenging the medical orthodoxy and arguing that for those most in need of protection, flu shots and antiviral drugs may provide little to none. So where does that leave us if a bad pandemic strikes?"

Re: mocking the deaths of the children, he also seems not to grasp how a pandemic works, construing releasing that information into a conspiracy re: healthcare:
“I got the story in the South Florida Sun Sentinel story, and an AP story, and Kathleen Sebelius and the vaccines, the body count is in there. The number of children who died because of H1N1, and what makes it really odd is that it’s not children who die from the flu, so this must be really bad, its seasoned citizens who normally parish from the flu, but now our future, so it’s the new battle. It’s a new battlefield, but the same thing, battlefield deaths, the new swine flu body count, all because the priority is healthcare.”
According to infectious disease specialist Allison McGeer, director of infection control at Mount Sinai Hospital, those most at risk are: "pregnant women and children under 5, as well as those under 65 with chronic underlying illness".
"What happens in pandemics, invariably, but to different degrees, is that the excess death rate is shifted to younger ages and specifically, it's shifted to pregnant women."

~He is opposed to a government mandate that people MUST get the vaccine.~
What government mandate?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mandate
~He doesn't want the government telling him what he MUST do.~
I haven't seen anything indicating that ever happened. Do you have a link?
I did think it was interesting that he called the Health and Human Services Secretary an "idiot".
(I wonder if she responded as politely as I did when, ah, someone called us idiots the other day. If so, good for her!)
~Also, Rush is a radio commentator....not a minister for the Nation of Islam. Big difference there.~
True. I'd expect more in the way of information accuracy, etc., from Rush, a winner of the William F. Buckley, Jr. Award for Media Excellence, by the Media Research Center (a conservative media analysis group). Big difference indeed.
