A Supreme Injustice
The Vaccine Machine
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Yesterday the Supreme Court handed down a long awaited decision addressing the issue of whether or not parents could go outside the government’s “vaccine court” to sue drug makers for vaccine injuries.

Proposed new limits on vaccine exemptions: Are they constitutional?
Natural News
Tuesday, February 22, 2011 by: Alan Phillips, J.D.
Health authorities around the country are set on further restricting vaccine exemption rights, probably due to the growing awareness of vaccine problems and increase in exemptions around the country. Currently, proposed laws in Washington State and New Jersey would limit the ability of residents in those states to refuse vaccines. If not stopped, those new restrictions will soon become law and pave the way for further restrictions across the country. Predictably, anti-vaccine activists are opposing these bills, but with state health departments and well-financed pharmaceutical lobbyists on the other side, is a grass roots effort likely to succeed? Hopefully so, but if the proposed laws are shown to raise significant Constitutional issues, anti-vaccine activists may find that they have a “David” advantage against the “Goliath” opposition.
