Apparently the issue of forced vaccination has stirred up concern amongst more than a few people. Most of the articles say basically the same thing as the two primary sources are either Associated Press or Routers news services. What is interesting to see however is that both sources include information regarding the risks associated with vaccination (at least they mention it). I don’t think that ten years ago and certainly not 20 years ago we would see something like this in the major press. That is something we should be thankful for and appreciative of. People like Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), and countless others, have worked long and hard to see that America is aware of the risks associated with vaccination.

It’s a good idea to install adobe’s Acrobat reader on your computer so that you can view the above and other PDF documents that are available on the Internet.
