Hey all you Liberals out There, Innoculate Yourself with a Little Freedom

One reason most of us are concerned about Healthcare Reform is because it represents a tremendous loss of our liberties, our personal control over health decisions.  To illustrate this we have only to review the recent swine flu hype.  It was apparent even in the initial breaking news on the “pandemic” that it was being presented as a far greater threat than it was.  As it developed, I heard rumors of mandatory vaccinations being promoted.   The rumors were a definite reality in the liberal state of New York, which attempted to require that all health care workers receive an inoculation.  At the national level the scare of H1N1 was fraudulently promoted, with the Obama Administration linking up with big pharma to push a multi application set of vaccinations.

Now, we can debate the merits of vaccinations, but in a free country it is a decision that is made by the individual, not the state or its bureaucracies.  In a free country you would not see a pharmaceutical industry protected from all liability related to a potentially dangerous product.  As you see power being consolidated at the top, be aware that big government responds to money and lobbying.  It necessarily has to rely on lobbyists to do what it does.   It does not even have time to read the regulations it approves, so how could it be authoring them?  The bottom line is, if you are in favor of ideas like mandatory vaccinations being once again employed on a national level, then empower the bureaucracies and monopoly-sized businesses with your vote.  If you think that it should be your own choice I would cast a vote for freedom.
