Big Pharma receives a lot of money due to some mandatory vaccination policies. I would think that by now people would be smart enough to follow the flow of large amounts of money and figure out for themselves that something is fishy.
Please don't ask Daily Kos members to work toward legislation to require vaccinations. The pharmaceutical companies are behind this big push to have children vaccinated. They makes tons of money on vaccinations. Imagine how much money you could make if you convinced people that they needed what you were selling. There are many side-effects to vaccinations and our legislature have sided with drug companies and limited funds the public can get for children who suffer from debilitating drug reactions. Just because your child didn't suffer a drug reaction doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Also, stories of some child suffering or even dying from a childhood illness does not make it safe to get vaccinations. Check the NVIC website and get informed because adverse vaccination reactions happen. Big Pharma is capitalizing on this small outbreak of a generally benign childhood illness to try to push through legislation to pad their pockets with extensive money. You should follow the money trail whenever you push for something on a large scale because there is always some greedy person behind it. History shows this to be true. Often we don't find the impacts until years or decades in the future. People should not be expected to lose their civil rights because someone else wants to make money.
