Hello,

I have read my share of dystopian novels all my life, and in the last + decade,

there have been all the versions of the "lights out" themes/hundreds at least.

Few vaccines in my history, smallpox to enter the country, and polio sugar cubes

given directly in the school. Never a flu shot or other such until the early 80's. We

were given a paper, from the high school, stating mandatory Hep. B vax X 3 would

be done at the school or the boy couldn't attend. Simultaneously, at my job (RN/

hospital) they had the same demand. There would be a form to sign for refusal, that

would protect from any claim I would ever make about work related whatever.

Curiously, school and work stopped with one shot. Now the hep B is given to newborns

just as the PKU test. Rationale? "Some" women use iv drugs and pass it to their babies .

The stated rational for fluoride in water is to protect A-A kids, that do not learn to brush their teeth.

(African-American) We have been had since forever, that's for sure. The new motto, largely too late,

is DO NOT COMPLY. Wish I had been smarter sooner.

I am writing a scifi dystopian novel now, and it's hard to compete with what is transpiring today.
