I expected a heavy anti-vaccine lean but not this dramatic
If this had happen 20 years ago everyone would take the vaccine and think nothing of it. But today we have:
Anthrax mailed to the US Congress
a light shown on the US government using people as guinea pigs without knowledge or consent (my Mom was one.)
Baxter shipping a potentially deadly vaccine to several countries this year
200 people illegally used as guinia pigs dying from a vaccine earlier this year
The US government passing a law that the government and the manufacturer have no liability if they screw this one up
The vaccine is fast tracked by passing the usual safe guards.
And the real BIGGY. People no longer trust the government not to screw them. The rotten handling of the English FMD outbreak that wiped out lots of livestock for no good reason illustrates how badly a government can muck things up when the UN is directing their actions.
