Ukraine To Declare Martial Law (salt for taste)
2009-11-08
The Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko has issued a statement strongly suggesting that the government is preparing to carry out mass forced vaccinations with the untested swine flu jab.

In a statement posted on the government website, Yushchenko announced a crack down on political protests and orders for the arrest of public health officials who have opposed mass "swine flu" vaccinations and quarantines.

"I instruct the Government and the Ministry of Health to immediately start preventive and promotional work in areas where there is no epidemic, targeting primarily the special risk groups," he said.

#2  One of the problems is that many of the doctors there are convinced that it is pneumonic plague, and cannot be persuaded otherwise. My guess is they think it is a tandem epidemic with H1N1 and some other disease.

To make matters worse, there are conflicting philosophies, such as Cold War authoritarianism and secrecy, the anti-vaccination crowd, those who are convinced it is Russia's doing, etc. There are also scoundrels trying to make a quick buck selling "cures" to desperate people.

All told, it's turning into an episode of The Twilight Zone.

#1  If the statistics we've seen the past few days are even close to right then martial law is probably called for. EXTREMELY rapid spread, and killed at least 4 doctors in a week.
