I will be avoiding their vaccines from now on. They no longer have any incentive to do adequate testing.

Swine flu vaccine makers are immune from any legal suits. Want your kids to be the "testers" for this vaccine ?

Kathleen Sebelius Article Page - USATODAY.com

"The US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has just signed a decree granting vaccine makers total legal immunity from any lawsuits that result from any new Swine Flu vaccine. "

Vaccines are already required for kids to go not only to school but even daycare.

Now you can get vaccinations unbundled--it's the Mercury that they're bundled with that is believed to make them a problem for some children. Many years ago when vaccinations were mandated, it became easier and cheaper to put multiple vaccinations into one shot, and they were bundled with Mercury. Now, with the issues related to autism, even if the arguments are wrong, I would not run the risk of giving my child a bundled vaccination. It's more expensive, of course, and there may be some insurance issues, but I wouldn't mind.

that's right! we always need to follow the money!
In the United States, the Obama Administration has strong-armed the US Congress to appropriate 300% more money for Swine Flu ‘preparedness’ than Congress planned. Responding to lobbying by the Obama administration, the US Congress has approved an eye-popping $7.65 billion for the non-proven pandemic influenza.

Curiously enough, the money was included in a $106 billion supplemental appropriation bill for funding the military wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In substantially increasing the funding, Congress decided not to take funds from the stimulus and the Pentagon BioShield program of medical countermeasures against biological and other unconventional weapons. The new money will give a major ‘shot in the arm’ to the pharmaceutical giants like Roche, maker of Don Rumsfeld’s favourite ‘antiviral’ Tamiflu, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and other global vaccine giants.

I don't usually get caught up in these type of threads b/c it's impossible to discuss this rationally with people who don't want to be confused with the facts. However, this is BS! There has been no mercury in any immunizations except influenza since about 2001. Also, the mercury was not a "bundling" agent, it was an anti-infective agent to keep multi-dose vials sterile through many uses. There is no scientific evidence that any immunization causes autism, and autism rates in unimmunized kids are the same as in the immunized.

Not for illegal Mexican kids it is not.

We found that 4 illegal Mexican kids were entered into our school system last year using fake information.

They were removed before they spread their diseases to our kids who have all been immunized.

You need to look around, illegals from Mexico are in our school systems all over the country and have not been immunized at all.

It is not required of them to be in Mexico.

Yeah I was wondering how nobody thought of that - I hate dropping my son of to school and seeing another kid there with a snotty nose and watery eyes because I know I'll be sick before the week is over.

Maybe I'm missing the point here because my son had to get vaccinated before he could start daycare and any time he participates in a sport or activity with other kids they ask for his shot records...what state are all these sickly kids who don't get shots living in
