Do massive campaigns to vaccinate for just about any thing you can think of&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A. do they actually work.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; B. Do they cause more harm then good.&amp;nbsp; C. Are they more about the finachial gain then anything else. Vaccines are an article of faith in the medical community. But at one time the medical community held it as true that you could not touch a beating heart. We must insist that honest and inpartial evaluations be made on all medical procedures. If that happen worthless and sometimes harmful procedures and drugs will give way tosafer and often natural alternatives&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=90030" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Merck May Finally Be Getting The Message About Its Worthless HPV Vaccine</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/02/21/Merck-May-Finally-Be-Getting-The-Message-About-Its-Worthless-HPV-Vaccine.aspx#90028</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Feb 2007 18:50:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:90028</guid><dc:creator>goodytwoshoes</dc:creator><description>I will never turn my children into guinea pigs for the pharmacutical industry just for the convenience of public school. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I belive that any medicine should be a persons freedom of choice and not a mandate. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I will never willingly comply with medical practices such as these. Between Big Agri-biz attempting to patent all seeds and GMOs, to the big pharma forcing use of thier pharmecuticals, and the nightmare of Codex. I realise that our world is in serious jeapordy.
