When the immune system is fighting pathogens, cytokines signal immune cells such as T-cells and macrophages to travel to the site of infection. In addition, cytokines activate those cells, stimulating them to produce more cytokines. Normally, this feedback loop is kept in check by the body. However, in some instances, the reaction becomes uncontrolled, and too many immune cells are activated in a single place. The precise reason for this is not entirely understood but may be caused by an exaggerated response when the immune system encounters a new and highly pathogenic invader. Cytokine storms have potential to do significant damage to body tissues and organs. If a cytokine storm occurs in the lungs, for example, fluids and immune cells such as macrophages may accumulate and eventually block off the airways, potentially resulting in death.[citation needed]

If a person takes the shots, then what is to prevent TPTB from coming back, say in six months time and saying the shots weren't good enough and you had to take a couple more? And on and on?
I guess at that point you would finally realize that you had "been boned".

Let's imagine that there IS an H1N1 outbreak and the organism recombines into a truly deadly organism along the lines of the 1918 Spanish Flu.
This legislation does not force anyone to get the vaccine. It clearly states 'unable or unwilling'.

More ovverreaction. All it says that if you are found to be a threat, i.e. you catch the swine flu or whatever epidemic dujour is going around at that time, then you will be required to take a shot or be quarantined or fined. It makes sense unless it used improperly. It is presumptous to jump to the conclusion that it will be used improperly.
Let use an example of what this means. Lets say your child has measles. Let's say you deny medical care and insist on sending your child to school despite the fact that they can infect others. Quarantine and or/fines make perfect sense in this scenario.
They are not forcing anyone to take shots, however, if you refuse to do so and are found to be infected, and still deny care then you will face these actions. It is just common sense to me. If it gets abused then it will be time to fight it, but not until then.

If an individual is unable or unwilling to submit to decontamination or procedures necessary for diagnosis, the decontamination or diagnosis procedures may proceed only pursuant to an order of the superior court. During the time necessary to obtain such court order, such individual may be isolated or quarantined pursuant to section 96 of chapter 111 if his or her refusal to submit to decontamination or diagnosis procedures poses a serious danger to public health or results in uncertainty whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a disease or condition that poses a serious danger to public health.
