So now we're having a national debate, courtesy of Mayor Bloomberg, over super-sized sugary drinks and obesity. Fine, but what about a super-sized vaccine schedule and its effects on diabetes and obesity, for starters?

JAPAN: VACCINATION LAWSUITS
KYODO, Japan, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- The Japanese government is bracing for a flood of damage suits from hundreds of people who contracted hepatitis B through mandatory childhood vaccinations.
Lawyers for the victims say the first suits will be filed in late March by a group of some 20 people who are seeking compensation of between $139 million and $555 million each, Kyodo News reported Monday.
Other groups are expected to follow in April, filing their cases in 11 district courts across Japan, the lawyers say.
Last month the Diet enacted relief measures for people who contracted hepatitis C from tainted blood products after Japan's Supreme Court ordered compensation for five hepatitis B victims, Kyodo said.
Japan no longer mandates vaccinations against certain diseases due to side effects that prompted a number of lawsuits.

Nice... I did go to the full article and next to it was a picture of a man in a space suit doing something for NASA... I don't mean any disrespect for not knowing exactly what the man in the suit was doing... but I thought to myself when I saw it, "we can put a man on the moon, but we can't figure out how to make vaccines safe?" Oh My.... .... ....
As my grama used to say, "it will all come out in the wash". I guess that is finally happening. I LOVE doing laundry! Honestly - I do! :) Clean clothes are nice.
It's taken a long time and everyone else is catching on.
Like I've said before, the AAP purchased their own noose with the Eli censorship attempt, and with that they also effectively purchased a noose for everyone else promoting vaccination according to the "schedule".
What a day!!!
