Just days after Blink-182's Mark Hoppus penned his own medical missive, Billy Corgan has released a scathing 800-word communiqué about the H1N1 -- aka swine flu -- vaccine. In his blog-itorial, the Smashing Pumpkins' mastermind spoke out against both the virus and the "propaganda machine" that accompanies it."I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us thru fear," Corgan explained in his critique, which can be read in its entirety here. According to him, the virus is not yet an emergency and he believes it's ridiculous that "our American President Obama" has declared it so.
If that's not enough, Corgan, struggled with the notion that the government can require people to take the vaccine. He's also of the opinion that the "virus was created by man" writing that he has "read reports from people who say (as doctors) that there is evidence to suggest this."
Finally, Corgan stated, "If the virus comes to take me Home, that is between me and the Lord." But that's not to say he expects fans to follow his logic.
"I am not a doctor, and I am in no way suggesting that you should follow any medical advice from me," he wrote early in the essay, adding, "I am willing to question anything: the existence of God, the existence of me or you or Robert Zimmerman [aka Bob Dylan]."
