I'm sure Wall Street has a huge bet on how many people will die from the vaccine and not the flu. Propaganda at it's best! Wait, didn't something else happen like this 8 years ago with the help of that Propaganda machine? Perfect timing for the swine flu vaccines! I’m sure Wall Street has a huge bet on how many people will die from the vaccine and not the flu. Propaganda at it’s best!

Remember that Mary Poppins scene, the one where the small kids were taken to the bank to invest their tuppence(s), the scence where Mr Dawes (Dick Van Dycke I believe) broke into song to explain to them the purpose of the bank, remember that? Remember the words?, a few of them being: "You see, Michael, you'll be part of Railways through Africa Dams across the Nile Fleets of ocean greyhounds Majestic, self-amortizing canals Plantations of ripening tea All from tuppence, prudently Fruitfully, frugally invested In the, to be specific, In the Dawes, Tomes Mousely, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank! " I would like to put my own tuppence in such a bank if any exist right now. There’s a MAJOR disconnect in what we expect of a bank and what the 2009 bank actually is.
