Issue: Health Care: Dr Ron Paul, Vaccines & Autism

[Galactic Lord Xenu]

Maybe he justified it under the general welfare clause. Federal agencies are currently charged with setting vaccination policies which could be harmful. This study could influence current policies.

That's not how he interprets the General Welfare clause.

I'm guessing he's introducing this on the behalf of a constituent and that he might vote against it, or since vaccines are mandated by the government he decided that we might as well shed light on any possible risks (and thus help get rid of them).

The vaccines causing autism has been debunked so thoroughly that I feel no need to explain it once again. So I won't. This is stupid.

from the looks of your picrure maybe the vaccines caused it a little disjointed

I imagine that the Rep. will issue a statement regarding this bill sometime soon.

Texas A & M and Vaccines

I visited the Texas A&M campus this past Monday with my daughter, and I was speaking to the folks about possible admission for her after she graduates High School next year.

I was surprised to find that Texas A & M DOES NOT require an incoming student to have received any vaccine/s.

At least that is what the document prominantly posted at the booth for the on-campus Health Care Dept. stated.

Could it be that one of the most experienced group of individuals on the face of the earth involved with genetic alterations of plants and animals, does not feel that vaccines are either safe, or necessary for incoming students?

So is Ron Paul advocating using federal funds to do this research.. what do people think of this, in relation to RP?

I say he's right.

Hey, the government's job is to protect your rights. And if someone is violating them by forcing a vaccine on you or even providing you with a toxic vaccine, the government has every right to stop it.

I read somewhere that Dubya has another clause in the patriot act that prevents anyone from suing Eli Lilly who make the bulk of vaccines.

Anyone who doubts this isn't the reason that these children are getting autism is kidding themselves. It is now 1 in 150 and in New Jersey it is 1 in 90. This is a horrible disease, I would say worse than most retardation.
