Mandatory vaccines?

Since the advent of the internet, the public has been exposed to an enormous amount of information, virtually at our fingertips. There are pros and cons to every topic one can dream of. In light of the misinformation, fake news, and outright lies being spewed via the web, mainstream media, and even our government agencies, is it any wonder that people simply do not trust some of these sources anymore? “WMDs in Iraq” was one of hundreds of examples.

The topic of mandatory vaccines is an issue that has angered many folks on both sides. People who are pro-vaccines claim that the safety of said inoculations is widely accepted, and that warrants an across-the-board system of being up to date for all. If they get their info from the CDC or the WHO, do they know that the CDC manufactures most all vaccines, and profits from this are in the billions? No conflict of interest there?

Anti-vaxxers, who have done their own research, flatly state that the “science” of vaccine safety is in no way certain, and there are thousands of videos and testimonials discussing all of that and more. It is difficult at best to verify many of these opposing views — however, lie to me once, shame on you; lie to me twice shame on me. Forcing the public to ingest in any way, substances that have never even been tested on humans is simply not right. One glance at the ingredients of these vaccines should give one pause!

Our inalienable right to choose for ourselves and our kids is at risk here, and given the past record of what we’re being told by these sources, and the obvious corruption taking place at most all levels, who do you trust?
