Did you watch Torchwood, Children of Earth? The basic story is...some aliens come down to earth and threaten to kill everyone on the planet unless they are given 10% of all the children on earth. The 'powers that be' decide that this is OK and start to decide which children should be rounded up and transported for the aliens to whisk away. They choose children from council estates, ones that don't appear to have a future. The health and government agencies tell the parents the children will be eligible for a free inoculation to protect them from the aliens and all they have to do is let the children go and have the injection and everything will be fine.
Now, I've been watching the news and something called Swine Flu has been making the headlines. The government and health agencies are preparing us for mass inoculations using the vaccine created for the avian flu epidemic.
Sound familiar? Or just my paranoia?
