Where's my tinfoil hat?

The signs are up all over work for the flu shot.

Brochures are being distributed.

The executives have prominently signed their names at the beginning of the signup list to encourage us peons to follow suit. People are asking each other "why haven't you signed up yet?" as they pass each other in the hall.

And people are asking why I haven't signed up yet...

Even old friends like my buddy Paul (who I was best man for) are trying to tell me I should get shot. Paul, if you're reading this, because you've allowed the government to inject you with their tracking devices and/or spyware (c'mon, why else would the government be sooooo hot and bothered to get everyone a flu shot?) you will no longer be privy to any juicy secrets that I might want to pass along...I don't need "the man" to find any skeletons in my closet...

You are now cut off.

Seriously though. You have to wonder why healthcare workers in general are so opposed to this. The paramedics in Toronto were close to going out on strike last year when mandetory injections were attempted on them last year.

You have to wonder what they know that we don't. My wife (a Registered Nurse) has told me quite directly that it's within my rights to refuse ANY invasive procedure. And she says it in that knowing voice that tells me there's more to the story and I should just walk away.

You gotta wonder why the peer-pressure from workplaces though. Have they bought the government position hook, line and sinker? Or is this part of some grand conspiracy to track office supplies?

I need to speed construction of my tinfoil hat...
