The world has gone sick. Those under 18 have a 99.997 % chance of living if they catch the flu yet those in charge want to do this to the uneducated kids that have no idea that this so called vaccine is really a experimental biological agent. Goverment officials shpuld be charged with child abuse if they do this.
