Billy Corgan Blogs About Swine Flu, Refuses to Get Vaccinated

“I am not a doctor, and I am in no way suggesting that you should follow any medical advice from me,” Billy Corgan writes at the top of a blog post about swine flu. What follows is nearly 850 words of Corgan spitting conspiracy theories on his Everything From Here to There blog regarding the H1N1 virus.

Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman has a central thesis — that the illness was “created by man” and driven by a “propaganda machine” powered by fear. “I for one will not be taking the vaccine. I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us thru fear,” Corgan writes. “This is not judgment; it is a personal decision based on research, intuition, conversations with my doctor and my ‘family’. If the virus comes to take me Home, that is between me and the Lord.” Corgan also argues against a potential Massachusetts state law that will require residents of the state to receive the vaccine. “Soon, you won’t even have the choice to live OR die as you wish!”

In more musical Smashing Pumpkins news, <i>Rolling Stone previously reported that Corgan has begun work on a behemoth of a project called Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, a 44-song album that Corgan will release piecemeal as he completes the songs.

rage against the vaccine!

I love the music. Can’t stand the man.

It’s a shame that Corgan has got such a bad rap over the years because he is an incredible musical talent.

Unfortunately, he often comes across like a complete ass and it has obviously overshadowed the amazing work he has done.

NickG | 10/29/2009, 2:25 pm EST

If its so “personal” then why not keep it to yourself?

Dean | 10/29/2009, 2:31 pm EST

Hahaha…big news, rolling stone.

Mack M | 10/29/2009, 2:37 pm EST

Finally, something comes out of the man’s mouth that I agree with. Except for the lord bit, that’s silly.

Kimberley | 10/29/2009, 2:51 pm EST

I actually agree. It should be our choice to get the vaccine or not.

I, for one, will not be getting the shot. I have never gotten a flu shot in my life and I don’t plan to get one now. I’ve also never had the flu *knock on wood*

My Dad gets a flu shot every year, and every year right after getting the shot, he’s gotten the flu.

victorian | 10/29/2009, 2:53 pm EST

I agree! Ever heard of population control? well swine flu is it!!! Don’t be so naive people and don’t trust the gov. It is a fast way to knock you off…No flu vaccine for me

Here’s my conspiracy theory:

Corgan is deliberately trying to contract the Swine Flu virus and die…

.. to get out having to record and release his sucky Kaleidyscope record.

StrummerJones | 10/29/2009, 5:18 pm EST

Billy Corgan is a marvelous idiot. While vaccinations probably shouldn’t be forced, you’re still an idiot if you can get them and don’t.

Black Hole Sun | 10/29/2009, 5:52 pm EST

Isn’t it like when Kanye West said he believed AIDS was created by the government or something like that? Oh well, at least Billy understands that if he catches the swine flu and dies, it’ll be his own doing, and he readily accepts that. Everyone should have the freedom to do what they please with their bodies, even if it’s putting their lives at risk. He’s a grown man, it should be his decision to get vaccinated whether it’s a smart one or not. And I also agree vaccinations shouldn’t be forced on people, except for children.

kels | 10/29/2009, 7:28 pm EST

just like Prince – musical genius, total douchebag

Brazilian | 10/29/2009, 9:06 pm EST

hey people… just wait him to get that! When he gonna see himself for 2 months on the hospital ..like my cousin… He will think that he Should take that!

From brazil

OneWhoPaysAttention | 10/29/2009, 9:23 pm EST

You people are fools. Billy’s right on this one. And so are a LOT of other smart and well informed people. Things are messed up in the world today. And you would doing yourself a huge favor if you were skeptical of the Government these days. They are not working for you. They are trying to CONTROL you. Pay Attention! Or slowly lose every right that you hold dear.
Not a threat but a guarantee.

Bama in Ut | 10/29/2009, 10:26 pm EST

I have heard stories of people getting the vaccine and being sick for weeks. I agree with him, it is man made, the revolution is a stage play. If a few people die to get there control so what right? and the chemtrails with their heavy amounts of berium and aluminum to create a radar grid doesn’t happen either right? cmon got on you tube, find out the truth

Joe | 10/30/2009, 12:25 am EST

the point of vaccine is to give you a small dosage of the flu, so u build up an immunity to it… thats why people get sick for a little while after getting the vaccine.

BenRJ | 10/30/2009, 10:00 am EST

It reminds me of Frank Zappa claiming that the AIDS virus was created by man to target certain people groups i.e. gays. The virus did not emerge from monkeys in Africa as was claimed at the time. It’s credible what Billy has to say, it’s a shame most of us just get dragged along by the dumbing down effect that the media forces upon us only feeding us with info they want us to believe.

Kate Gooselin' | 10/30/2009, 11:06 am EST

I’d hate to be so cynical of every last f’ing thing.

Swine Flu | 10/30/2009, 11:08 am EST

HAHA, Billy, your little blog post will not stop my wrath of terror! I am working in conjunction with the vaccine to kill, so what punk. You can’t stop us with your keyboard and your stupid hat.

sense and sensibility | 10/30/2009, 2:15 pm EST

why do we care what this guy says? he’s not much of an expert on music, let alone health issues. celebrity culture has gone completely amuck.

The paranoia is in bloom | 10/30/2009, 6:56 pm EST

I’m guessing that Billy, along with the idiots that are agreeing with him here have been listening to too much Muse or something. All this crap talk about “Yeah, it’s the government trying to control us!”. Take a step back and see how little sense you’re making. The vaccinations have undergone test trials on ACTUAL HUMANS. Didn’t hear about any deaths or adverse reactions. Many people have already been vaccinated. Have there been a mass outbreak of vaccine-related deaths and debilitating side effects? No. Now how many swine flu-related deaths have there been worldwide? 6,021. This whole ” all vaccines are evil” mentality are exactly why a lot of people who have access to a good doctor end up dying from preventable diseases, because they get it in their heads that someone sticking a needle in you and injecting with some sort of medicine= government trying to kill you. Stop being so Orwellian about things and get some common sense. You guys are claiming that people who get vaccinated are just swallowing what the media spoon-feeds them, yet you get your “reliable” info via websites that are run by crackpots like you.

If you choose not to get vaccinated because you feel you can survive better without it, fine. But don’t start spewing bullshit about mind control and all that paranoia. You look silly doing that.

andrew mangold | 10/31/2009, 9:45 am EST

the swine flu scare is a disgusting attempt to make money for the pharma industry or worse. i fully support billy corgan over the bought and paid for media.

DaMan | 11/1/2009, 5:26 pm EST

Children, elderly and people with compromised immune systems… Those are the one who should get the vaccine. Also, any state that makes a law requiring any vaccine should be kicked out of the Union.

thomas | 11/2/2009, 10:51 am EST

Eh boy, the conspiracy theories..
The gov’t, funny..they couldn’t even keep their renditions a secret but yet swine flu is.
Humans don’t even need to be envolved, mother nature/darwinism takes care of all the mutations needed for the spread of disease.

Its amazing how the euorpean kingdoms were able to make the Plague back in the middle ages..pffft.

Jeffrey Michael | 11/3/2009, 9:15 pm EST

It’s comforting to see how the majority of American people remain unable to correctly spell their judgmental and scatter-brained opinions. Take ANOTHER injection from your leaders. Please. They love you.

Billy- you are a brave man. I’m not a big fan of your music, but I respect you trying to save this rabble. They are not worth it- i WANT them to take the shot.

Jane | 11/5/2009, 7:42 am EST

Billy is a lunatic and a moron. He should be ashamed of himself for promoting these lies and stupid conspiracy theories.

As a physician, I have seen too many vaccine reactions (vaccinosis), including death, over the past 27 yrs. I do not advocate vaccines for my patients nor do I vaccinate my own children. They are perfectly fine and robust young teens. I am in good stead w/other doctors re: the over-vaccination of our populace. Contrary to what corporate media would have you believe, immune-compromised individuals, along w/babies and young children, should definitely NOT get this vaccine or any others for that matter. Formaldehyde, aluminum, thimerosol (49.6% ethyl mercury), ethylene glycol (anti-freeze), msg, carbolic acid, polysorbate 80 (sterilization agent), phenols, squalene, dead animal pus, foreign viruses, etc. do NOT belong in anyone’s body, let alone developing immune systems which are compromised by this neuro-toxic and carcinogenic overload of chemicals within vaccine serum. Over $91 million was paid out for vaccine damage in 2007 and close to $2 billion since ‘86 when Congress enacted legislation to indemnify drug cos. from the numerous lawsuits which were being filed on behalf of families whose children had been permanently damaged or had died. It’s estimated that over 1 million individuals in the U.S. are damaged (including death) by vaccines each year in that less than 5% of vaccine reactions are reported. It is not in a doctor’s be$t intere$t to submit reports that could potentially jeopardize his or her reputation and practice. I know too many doctors who have erroneously claimed SIDS as a cause of death, while knowing fully well that the baby died within hours or days of receiving vaccinations, which often total upwards of 5 vaccines per visit. 2-4-6 mos. are when the bulk of vaccines are given and that is when most SIDS cases are reported. 48 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6 causes neurological damage, including encephalitis (brain inflammation), along w/allergies, asthma, diabetes, ADHD, autism, etc. Look at an insert label sometime and you will be appalled at the toxic ingredients contained within a vaccine. Check out http://www.nvic.org (Nat’l Vaccine Info Center) for more info and google search Dr. Hugh Fudenberg for his 10-yr study on flu vaccines and Alzheimers.
