This is the one time I can say this appointment does not bother me because he has been vocal about vaccines which does not get much coverage in Washington.
The pharmas will be none too happy.
All I ever needed to know about this issue I learned from watching Rick Perry.
I agree with you and that is why I put my “I don’t like Kennedy” disclaimer with the post.
Many Freepers automatically dismiss the concern over vaccines without doing any research on it. Until you understand and experience a personal loss it’s easy to buy and believe the propaganda our government, the media and big pharma have been pushing. The facts are Children today receive 69 doses of vaccines for 16 different viral and bacterial illnesses which more than doubles the government childhood schedule of 34 doses of 11 different vaccines in the year 2000. Thirty-five doses and 5 more unique vaccines have been added to the schedule in the last 15 years.
Those supporting forced vaccination are being dishonest by not acknowledging the exploding vaccine schedule while sounding alarms over small increases in overall non-medical exemptions.
Just dismiss it if you must, but the rate of autism has risen to 1 in 45 children and at the rate it’s going more families, Democrat and Republican will see that there was something to be concerned about.
We also have one of the highest infant mortality rates of 30+ developed nations. SIDS, following vaccination is killing more babies than all the Diseases they are trying to protect them from. Most recent statistic I saw was that there were 3700 cases of SIDS in 2015 in the US.
