Billy Corgan Attacks US Government's Handling of the H1NI Virus

October 29, 2009
Billy Corgan Attacks US Government's Handling of the H1NI VirusBilly Corgan has attacked the use of the Barack Obama and the H1N1 vaccine claiming that it is part of a “propaganda machine”.

Posting on Everything From Here To There, the spiritual website Corgan recently set up, the Smashing Pumpkins singer says “I have read reports from people who say (as doctors) that there is evidence to suggest this virus was created by man.”

He then writes, "I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us thru (sic) fear.”

Moving his opining eye onto the US Government Corgan by saying, “The propaganda machine's function is to maim and distort the truth, not to enlighten. How do I know this? Because it has fear attached to it, because it uses fear to move energy. Anything connected to fear is definitely not connected to Love or the promotion of Love.”

Elsewhere in the essay Corgan worries that he will be forced to take the vaccine thus losing his right to choose before saying, “I am not a doctor, and I am in no way suggesting that you should follow any medical advice from me.”
