Default Re: Mass Meningitis Vaccination Program

The imunization of the public is an interesting debate/question.

Shots in the US are shown to have a certain predicable fatality rate. Sometimes this is as high as one in 1,000 or as low as one in 1,000,000. In the US they were requireing shots for persons going to Iraq. Some refused and were tried for all manner of crimes in military court. Although the shots were shown to have bad, really bad side effects. Naturally, the manufacturerer was granted a not responsible for anything permit.

Kids are required to have certain shots and the shots to be up to date. Given the above, and the numbers could be filled in with a bit of surfing, what do we do.

I think, we have to consider the public good. And when the manufacturer fouls up, bust their chops, good and proper.
