Like they use terrorism laws against legal protestors here> In Sweden their health department is not run by executives of the pharmaceutical company. In Sweden you can probably actually sue anyone who mishandles vaccines that cause death to children. Not so here.

Vaccination in Sweden is a wonderful thing. Vaccination in America needs careful thought by anyone who cares about children.
