57. You think Rick Perry was right to force a vaccine from a company that funded his campaign? You

Feb 2015

think that builds public trust?

On edit - actually, Perry forced this vaccine. There has been much written about this fact. Take some time to read the facts and then you should understand why our corporate/government partnership is so dangerous.

We are now dealing with the consequences. Want more people to vaccinate their kids? Then stop letting pharma buy elections and write public policy which breeds mistrust.

In meantime, take it easy. I've got enough vaccines in me due to frequent travel to kill a horse. And that's without the goddamn flu shot which put my kid in bed for a day with massive swollen arm, migrane and fever.

Diagnosis? Flu shot reaction which was higher than average this year, which I don't know whether to believe or not. Wasn't a hospital visit but still damn serious.

Think that's funny? Wait until it happens to your kid.
