I don't think it does any good to draw the battle lines as BIG PHARMA vs. Anti-vaccine freaks. I'm not an anti-vaccine person, but I still have plenty of concerns about the pharma industry...just as I do about big agriculture (Monsanto, etc).
i'm not concerned about conspiracies as much as I am about real world anecdotes that don't seem to be wild exceptions. and I do live in Seattle and I do think it is a better place than Mississippi...not sure if that makes me a bad person or not! Of course I have never been to the great state of Mississippi, so don't hold me to it.
